DAY 4 – AUGUST 15 = lucerne, switzerland 8/13/12 2:08 AM 8/13/12 2:08 AM

i woke this morning fresh on the bus .. .
on the way to swizterland today .. luzern .. one of my fave cities

they have decked out an enormous spread for us .. its all the old promoters from the days of BOA .. and the building is modern and massive .. and the day is warm and robust

we never make it down to town and the splendor of the lake river with the covered bridges .. we’re tickled right here and now ok

a friend of steve shelley shows up from argentina to photograph us .. and we behave as such .. all go to the squatter camp next door to have at it .. and i find a perfect piece of plank for my pedal plank .. and then thanks mr squatter and his posse

the dinner is crazy good .. home made pasta .. we sit outside in below the looming alps and allow the sensation of life when it feels super naturally beautiful in the workplace to cloak us

we also meet our agent fo the first time .. the man who is responsible for the bus and backline and all the dates set up to make it possible aside from 2 of the festival shows .. chris .. and that’s a relief to finally look him in the eye .. and it satisfies

the show tonight is very fine again .. but could never follow the symphonia of vienna .. .still, it has its own stamp .. and the swiss are delicious

after the set .. we hang in the bar there like it was an after hours club .. another fellow starts talking of wanting us to come to brazil and argentina .. must be in the air

then we surrender the night about 3 and head outa there in a lovely light rain .. finally rain .. velvet rain
