To Brugge and beyond.

Woke up and hungout with Davey at his apartment. Dave made breakfast, and then we're off to Knokke.




The venue was small, but cozy. The people working there were real nice and gave us a ton of water and soda. We has a problem with the tom stand that we rented though. The clamp that is supposed to hold the drum to the stand was missing, so we have no way of attaching it.

We ended up borrowing a snare stand from the drummer of maudlin, and it worked out well, however, we'll have to contact gate to hell (the company we rented from in Germany) to get a replacement.

While playing, we also stopped getting doing out of the 1x15 bass cab Matt was using for his rig, and now have to replace that as well.

Overall, the show was awesome, we were cooked good food, and had fun playing music. First day down, seventeen more to go.

The Arrival.

...unharmed and in Brussels. The flight wasn't too long, and I got to watch a good number of movies. I didn't sleep much, but I'll hopefully get to sleep when we get to Davey's.

The show in Utrecht was cancelled, apparently because the promoter was 'on tour' and couldn't get anyone to work the show in his absence...so, that sucked.

We spent the day instead in Brugge, hanging out and wandering. The city is still beautiful since last we were here in 2009. I would have photos, except my iPhone battery died the second I turned it back on when we landed.

We found a little grassy spot near a river and chilled for a bit before heading off to meet Davey.




We met up with Davey at his apartment, had fun parking the vans, and then I passed out. Dave went and got us breakfast for morning, and then they all went to a hardcore show nearby.




Apparently I slept for a very, very long time. I woke up around 11am, and they were making breakfast. Scrambled eggs, salmon, onions, and peppers.

We're playing Knokke tonight, and then off to Germany tomorrow.

Let the blog continue...

I've been absent for a good while. I lost interest in posting mostly because blogger changed their code and ruined my entire interface. I've changed to something a little more generic, though, I might move everything over to tumblr eventually...maybe...

Rosetta 2012 summer tour is about to begin. We leave in a week for Europe, and hopefully I'll keep up with posting this time. I have a new phone (an iPhone 4s), and although I won't be able to use the actual phone operations, but I'll be taking a lot of pictures and videos that I'll be posting when we get a chance to connect to the internet.

As a teaser, I made a video promoting both our Europe and Australia tours this summer. Check it out

To be continued starting the 26th.

And then...

So, memory didn't prevail, and furthermore, won't. The tour was fun, and I sure know that I'm always ready to get back on the road. Lives continued as normal, we've played some shows since the summer, but not many. We'll be wrapping up the year with a show in Havertown, PA, and then taking a break January and February to get a new van.



Matt and Armine are still working on Temet Nosce, and from hearing conversations with them, they might be planning some shows (or a short tour) soon. I am doing a lot of video and audio work lately, keeping me quite busy, and Dave has been taking jujitsu classes lately, and enjoying it a lot.



That's all the update I have for now. If I can, I'll try and post some new video or audio stuff coming up. Armine and I want to work out some type of 'music video' (but not in the conventional sense) for one of the songs on ADOM, so we'll see where that goes.
