Oh my goodness…I get to spend 2 nights in the same place. I can’t believe it. The show last night at Alter Schlachthof in Soest was a great one. It was a big, open place, kind of reminded me of the Freeway Cafe in Hamilton. I know I sound like a broken record but the crowd was totally receptive and seemed to really enjoy the show.

Alter Schlachthof

They particularly liked “Stand By Me”. The organizer, Kelsey, was an awesome lady (also a musician herself) and referred me to a masseuse here in Soest that I’m going to see tomorrow. Yessss. Also, we’re staying in a beautiful hotel that is the oldest in Germany! So what will I do with myself on my day off? Well I certainly have some catching up to do email-wise, but we’re mostly going to wander around town and take it easy. I was just checking John Mayer’s tour schedule and I see that he doesn’t play more than 3 shows in a row and then has like 2 breaks. Why didn’t someone tell me this? I just played 5 shows in a row, 1 break today, then 4 shows, then 1 break, then 5 shows. To be fair, he is traveling across the U.S.A., but now I know for next time that I don’t need to have quite such an intense schedule. And that way I get to stay in Germany longer!
