Hey you. How’ve you been? It has been a while. Let’s go over the things that have changed since we last spoke.
I’m not living out of a backpack. I’ll always miss the mobility, but not as much as I missed my guitars. Hooray for feedback!
I live in Ohio again. Columbus, to be exact. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a pretty good time. Pinky swear.
I am gainfully employed. ‘Interactive Art Director’ sounds sooo much more fun than ‘unemployed’. Wait, no it doesn’t.
Whew, glad that’s over with. Onto the fun stuff.
In approximately 36 hours, I will be in Amsterdam*. This will be my first venture onto European soil and believe me - stoked is an understatement. And kind of an odd word. Anyways, I’m staying with my lovely friend Nicole and meeting up with some of the other kindred souls I met amidst last year’s travels. We’ll be celebrating (1) our good friend Dean’s birthday (yawn) and (2) Koninginnedag, or Queen’s Birthday. Other highlights include a mandatory tour of the Heineken factory, a quick stop at Experimental Jetset, floating down some canals, and yeah, ok, an afternoon or two at a cafe. I hear the coffee’s phenomenal. Wink.
I’m there for a full week so I should have time to update your favorite travel blog once or twice, hopefully with some worthwhile photos and/or video. Vaarwel, wijfjes.
*Assuming the giant volcanic ash cloud hovering over Europe continues to dissipate.
