Day Off - Berlin Day 2

Yay - Day off in Berlin. Very stoked because we didn't get to see anything at all yet. Also a little bummed to learn a little too late that The Mae Shi were in Berlin that night too. Love those dudes.


Chris Hansen "Paletazo" he has his own driver and likes pizza


Björn's beautiful house that he let us stay at

who get's to sleep on the couch?
/Dima points to Hansen
"Old Man"


Berlin (or at least this part of the eastside we were in) is full of amazing flower shops, children's toy stores, hip-hop apparel/spray paint and punk squats


nice breakfast in a nice place - shame it took over an hour to get our food. the only thing that needed to be cooked was 3 fried eggs and one scrambled egg - my croissant had better be made to order


we are here


Berlin Wall - for realz. This was Chris and I's first time in Berlin so we had to see at least one thing historic


this is some heavy shit


minds blown - need a break at a tropical beach?


sooooo there was this random like oasis beer garden kinda place along the wall so we stopped to hang out in the sand and look at the river


drinking and riding INTO THE FUTURE - totally allowed


Berlin at dusk


Uncle Hansen made a group salad - apparently the large salad is assemble yourself


fucking delicious punk rock pizza


BFFs


"can we have our check?"
"ok, what kind of shots do you want?"
WTF Germany!


Hanging out at KPTN


Never have I see someone sooooo good at foozeball - Björn you are some kind of table soccer god


Group Tour photo - Bands, Driver, Booking Agent :)


I would like to see you in the morning - Bobby Burg


Toby and Conrad - Ciao Choosey


If you are a friend of mine you'll understand
a) that I drew this
b) what it means


2am stumble back to the house - ran into our friend the Dildo King. Putting Big and Hunky to shame, he needs this kind of publicity

Really wish we had more time in Berlin, we barely scratched the surface on everything that is cool about it - plus I didn't buy one thing for myself and there was about 100 stores I walked into and loved but there was just not enough time to make good decisions. Thanks soooo much to Björn for this whole tour - it's fucking rad. Super stoked to finally meet you and it's awesome that we all got along so well, I can't wait to come back to Berlin!!!!!!

Freiburg, Germany

Guten tag!
So day one of our million day tour was so perfect that everything else is just going to be a disappointment. Well, hopefully not, but seriously major fun and awesome times. Here are some of the highlights of Day 1.




the international terminal at O'Hare is a joke


SARS


Bird Flu


H1N1


we beat the system by taping our sleeping bags together and thus only checking 2 pieces each which, by the way, were FREE! Air India rules - don't let that 1985 bombing fool you.


parkour


hanging out at the Frankfurt airport


Schiltach - prettiest town in the Black Forest


home of Hänsel und Gretel, Rumpelstilzchen, and Witches to be burned


Bobby stoked to be here


The Black Forest - beautiful photo taken by Chris Hansen. Totally looks like a Robert Bateman painting.


Punk Slumber Party


seriously 3 ingredients but the best snack ever


we were spoiled, 5 different kinds of vegan cakes


Paletazo


Fun Bobby


Serious Bobby


lockpick pornography

actually it explains how to lock yourselves together when protesting, but I like to imagine it's about how to pick a lock


romantic candlelight vegan dinner - thanks Arne for the most delicious food ever


Paletazo fan - Gerald


Bobby and Arne pretending to be 15 and drinking in the backseat
but it's allowed here!


Hilariously Awesome!!!!


3am hallway - everyone's sleeping and I'm in the office uploading photos.
