überbowl

we watched the superbowl at this irish pub in Frankfurt. the guy who owned the joint assured me that he would keep it open for the whole game, every one else I asked couldn't tell me if they'd stay open or just looked confused when i said "super bowl?" he was a very wierd guy making off hand coments like "rothlesberger, ah yes, its a kind of cheese from switzerland." anyways, good game, it was worth staying up til 5 for (i think boofter was the only person in the world that thought the seahawks could win that game but he also thinks they have sool jerseys, he probably thinks they are red and black or something).

today we went to the town where andy's parents lived in like '71. It was this little town called Ried not far from Frankfurt. We found the appartment that they stayed in and started taking pictures and this guy comes out and says some shit in german to us, he didn't sound too happy. Andy explained to him that his parents used to live here and introduced himself. He turned out to be the guy who owned the building, Gunter, and he remembered Andy's parents and invited us inside. He was so happy that we were there and showed us every angle of the building and even took us up to the Clover's old apartment. We talked with his wife and his son and they even fed us lunch! The language barrier was a little thick but they seemed so happy to have us and wanted to know everything about Andy's family. I can't even count the number of times he told andy "you say to parents, you say come to germany" and then made a circular motion with his hand; we got the picture. Gunter was a interesting old fellow, he said he was mad when we came up cause he thought we were gangsters or something, I had a little trouble following his explaination of why since it was in half german half english. anyways, it was a good experiance.

It really sucks to know that we are going to be home soon, our schedule is set: Tomorrow Köln, then Bremen, Copenhagen, Stockholm where we fly back to Brussels on the 25th then to Amsterdam for a few more days. We'll be back on the first of March, We'll be at the CC the second of March. Join us please. And I assume there will be a party on the weekend, who's throwing it???

On a musical note we saw Hjerte Stop from Copenhagen in Hamburg. Awesome band, they sound like regulations if they were as cool as everyone thought they were but faster. Get their seven inch at the record store, I think kick and punch put it out...
