Greetings from the Tallin Airport

Well, Today is Monday and i'm on my way home from out european tour. It's 4:57am and I have 4 flights to take today. Now that is exciting. err - not exciting. I can't wait to get home and say hello to courtney!!!
One of the concerts we played there were so few people (in Turku, Finland) that we ended up deciding to set up our computers so our loved ones could watch the concert from home. That was a lot of fun. Half way through the concert courtney took her laptop outside and was showing me tricks with Gracie our puppie. She's doing such a great job training her!


Two nights ago we played in Tallins biggest night club called Cafe Amigo. There was about 400 people there who danced the night away to our music. We opened the set with 3-4 worship tunes which were recieved very well and people still danced all the same.

Last night we played at a place called Oleviste Church. The oldest church in Estonia. It was built in the 14th Century. We got to climb this high tower similar to the Dome in Florence.

Anyways, that about wraps up the euro posts. If i get home and am missing something i'll be sure to post it. i hope you are all well and I'll talk to you later.

Greetings from Tallin Estonia (and germany too)




Hey everyone, I hope that you are all doing well. I'm currently in Tallin Estonia at a dinner party. We're having some sort of chicken. At least we've got some good wireless and i have a chance to blog. I have a few pictures to post from germany and then i'll post a few Estonia photos as well.
On Sunday morning we played a a big outdoor church service in Hamburg. It was a lot of fun and it seemed that the audience really enjoyed us.

This is the Indra music club. This is in Hamburg near the red light district. It's known as the first location that the beatles played publicaly
Here is a shot from "Tru: Young Television" in Hamburg. We were interevied on a two hour TV program and will also have 4 songs filmed in the studio air in a few weeks.Here is a photo of a Tallin Estonia sunset - this was taken at about 11:30pm. It really seems that the sun never goes down here. It dissapears, but it is ALWAYS bright out. We have super thin curtains in our room at the apartment we are staying at so our guitarist went to bed with his sunglasses on!
Here is another few shots of the Tallin sky.

Germany

Hey Everybody. I'm currently in Luneberg Germany on a Perry and the Poorboys tour. So far its going quite well. We play every night at a festival / cafe / or club. We also played four songs on a german TV station for youth in Hamburg. Here are a few shots from the trip so far
This is an old church that was built something like 500 years ago or something
Our first morning Jared wanted to wake me up nice and early because he couldn't sleep anymore so I got up with him at 5:30am and we went out for breakfast at a little cafe. As you can see... The coffee was a MUST


This is a picture of a stage we played on yesterday at the Luneberg Stadtfest. It was a great time. A lot of people stopped to listen to us even though most of them couldn't understand what we were singing about

Take a look at this guy - two beers, no shoes, cross legged and a cigarette. That pretty much sizes up german culture!
