Pleasantly surprised by the folk-rap-jazzy band Nizlopi. I met them at the pie stall and had a good chat with Luke, who promised to do song for me if I came along. Not that he needed more people – there was a massive swarm of bodies. But my curiosity was aroused, and my ego was…

Read MoreMy NWA Plane from Amsterdam
I took the Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Memphis yesterday – which was not by choice – the food is poor (dinner presented by HEINZ and a snack from COLEMANS) and I much prefer ANY OTHER AIRLINE. But at least I took it yesterday and not today. A NWA plane left Amsterdam and was returned…
