We had a short drive from Chemnitz to Dresden, then rolled into the old city. Jack and Dan went on a short adventure while I caught up on some to-do items in an indoor marketplace with a lil cappuccino.
We were playing at the Blue Note. We met the booker and his son to ask for any tips on finding parking. They responded, “Good luck!” With our good luck in tow, we found a spot around the corner.
We said hey to Lars and Hanna from K&F, and they introduced us to a radio journalist named Berndt. We were ushered upstairs to the Blue Note apartment where he set up his equipment. Then, we talked about me and the band for almost an hour. He recorded the conversation. Maybe it goes nowhere, maybe it goes somewhere. I talked more about cooking than I anticipated. I hope I illuminated whatever he was looking for.
We had a little bit of time for food with Lars and Hanna , then played the show. We saw Annette (her art is on my wall at home) and Hannes (Hanna’s partner) and Ronny (we stayed in his apartment last tour).
The Blue Note is set up like a strange hallway. The stage faces the wall, then the player looks side to side to see the people that they are playing to. It was strange and lovely.
We drank that night together. We talked about how we might even maybe break even, and what to do after that.
