A very nice photographer from CNET came to Share on Sunday and snapped some pictures of us nerds doing our thing. The back of my head looks hot in several of them.

Last night Emily and I got back from three days in Bremen, Germany, where I was invited to perform at the MENSCHMEERMEDIEN (man, mirror, medium) festival at the Nordwolle fin-de-siecle wool mill. We had a wonderful time and wonderful hosts. Thanks for the invite, Martin! The whole experience went something like:

Monday: Receive invitation via Share discussion list. Accept.
Tuesday: Martin tries to book ticket.
Wednesday: ticket falls through. Dan books incredibly cheap ticket on Emirates. Wednesday afternoon: Emily decides to come and books incredibly cheap ticket on Emirates. Thursday: leave for Hamburg.
Friday: arrive in Bremen. Eat bratwurst and tour the city with alternate historians.
Saturday: perform at massive old Victorian factory. Eat bratwurst. Party all night with splendid Germans.
Sunday morning: conclude party with Turkish/Sri Lankan falafel.
Sunday: act like tourists. Bratwurst. Completely fail to throw up out of one’s nostrils (note: this did not happen).
Monday: return to New York. No bratwurst.

I played with Axel Himmelmann, who makes excellent music and looks a lot like me. Emily shot some great pics and video of Axel and me performing. You can watch one of them above and the rest on the Internet Archive.
