Germay, day 7, the pinnacle of germanydays


A sad day, because Ben, the bassist/trumpeter, had to leave early this morning for Important Things In Paris.

But, also, a happy day because…

WE GOT BAUMKUCHEN!

At our final gig, in Gottingen, the brilliant, lovely, amazing, talented, and, over-it-all, sweet boys from Dogs Run Free presented us with a gourmet, in-a-fancy-box-and-all, authentic, Baumkuche. Wow. Wow! After the gig (At the Blooming Bar, a great space with lots of great people in it) we chopped it up, carefully, reverently, and, at last, sampled “The King of Cakes.” It had been cooked on a pole! It had ten whole layers of cake! And a chocolate coating! Wow. Dogs Run Free are amazing, check them out, everyone. We didn’t get them a cake. Instead we made them a card with a lot of dogs on it.

cool!
I can't believe I shut myself off from the enjoyment of reading blogs for so long. I've really been missing out. Looks like you had a fabulous trip.
