on tour

 

This is the Trianon theatre in Paris. It looks nice, if you don't look too close. Technically they are in such a state, that saying Paris is the City of Lights is like saying that Bangkok is the City of Chastity. Even the entrecote-switch (right) didn't work (at least nobody came to bring us a fancy steak).
Trying to drive a truck through the city of Paris is like trying to swim through the sand. We had to hire an expert to do this. After work, our new friend Gijs didn't mind a little drink. Robert-Jan , Henk , Bernard (promotor) and an Atmospheriques bigshot however, prefered their glasses empty.

Many French, travellling by metro where wondering:"who the fuck is Franklin D Roosevelt?"


Rob Kloet sometimes playes in another band.This other band sometimes plays "Paradise by the dashboard light". So the music police came and arrested him. He has been condemned to drive the truck to Zürich and back. If he plays "The Final Countdown" they will sentence him drive to Ouagadougou.

In 'the Espresso Girl' Henk mentions a lot of Swiss cities, but not the one where we were playing.
