We're sitting in a hotel in Washington D.C., because our flight was cancelled due to weather.  We should be able to catch a flight back to La Guardia at noon, but that was the earliest one we could get. 

The return flight from Amsterdam had a five hour stopover in D.C.(which is why we're here), so we actually had to fly over New York to get here.  We were thinking about asking the pilot if he could just drop us off...

It was a great tour, and we played to a lot of new people.  Gregorio, Guzz, and Rich did a great job onstage, and really made a huge impression.  Rich went above and beyond expectations by driving pretty much everywhere, and handling the arrangements.  Cat, of course, was the one who got everything going and was on hand to make sure things went as planned.

I also need to make a big point: the Austrian part of the tour was sponsored by Damon Douglas of All-Over Entertainment (All Over Entertainment)
Damon is a true professional, who not only worked successfully under (sometimes) trying conditions, but also showed flexibility and good will throughout the tour.  I highly recommend him to any band that might be touring and needs a sound system.  He can be reached at damon@all-over.org. 

Joanne was extremely helpful in taking care of merchandising and many duties usually associated with a road manager.  This was not an easy tour, and the lines from Queen's "We Are The Champions" ring especially true - "it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise". 

But, we look forward to returning, hopefully in early 2009, and playing many more places and meeting more people (and drinking more beer) in the beautiful countries we've been lucky to see.  Now, back to sweet home New York (fuhgeddabowdit).
