We finished the tour with two sold out shows in Hamburg at the Grosse Freiheit 36. Downstairs in the venue is the infamous Kaiserkeller where the Beatles played many times in 1960. During soundcheck we all took turns playing some of our favorite Beatles tunes (Dave belting out Golden Slumbers was affengail). Both nights after the show Tomte took us to one of their favorite pubs in St. Paulie- Mutter's. Great place, great music (they were playing Stereolab when we walked in). The second night we ran into Arlen from Wolf Parade and shared stories about touring in Germany.

We were at Mutter's very late Saturday night/Sunday morning but I don't think any of us missed our flights. Although I haven't heard from Jack for a while...
