It appears no one is hurt, but air travel is impossible now. We're scheduled to leave on Tuesday... should the icelandic volcano belch again, we may not be able to leave. In which case, we will settle in for the remainder of the Spring and stay until the tulips bloom.
6 trips to Holland and today is the FIRST time I've seen any tulips at all.. a few in someone's front yard inside a medieval fortress near Sellingen.
It's windy and sunny today in North Holland... we're near the German border in Joepsingboertange - we'll head to Amen tonight for a show that will include a serving of gigantic meatballs to most of the audience.
At this particular show, we play 3, 30-minute sets, with a 30-minute break between sets. Food is served at each break. It's a party and a show.. in a nearly medieval building that seats about 100 people. It's more fun than should be legal, and the meatballs are amazing. Dave will eat smoked fish.
But the big news is that this afternoon, at a 2nd hand shop, I found a clown marionette for 3 Euros.
I already have one clown that sits in my hallway, next to the pump organ. He's an antique - sits nearly 2 feet tall, he's mechanical, and he's straight out of Stephen King's 'IT', gently rocking back and forth if you plug him in.
Why, in the name of all that is good and right would anyone keep one evil clown in their hallway, let alone two?? (you're probably asking.)
I'm not one of those people with some enormous clown collection - nope. Just the evil ones. And thus far, only two. Sure, they scare small children and occasionally studio clients, but you know, it's a service, really. Dave was in the circus - clowns are basically terrifying... it's part of our family history. And the illusion of safety and security is, in fact, just that. In this way, we can help small children and passers by come to terms with the facts. We think they're better for it, in the end.
