Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at nate(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Ok a few things:
Dennis Kucinich is who I'm supporting for President. Its a longshot but I'm voting with my conscience.
The best online translator is here: Tha Shizzolator. It makes life that much more interesting.
A fashion accessory I was going to design but someone beat me to it: The American Traveler Apology Shirt: A must buy for Americans abroad.
From the Guardian: In extracts from her book on the curious lives of human corpses, Mary Roach visits a field full of rotting bodies and (below) watches a cadaver help test car safety. Click here for the lovely details. Eww.
More fuel for the fire boys. I hope the press starts asking more questions and stops sucking the teat of the Bush administration.
And last but not least: If you drive this car or think it is cool, you are a dick. Don' try to justify it. Just accept it and kill yourself asshole.
anger subsiding.....rising...subsiding. All work and no play make Nate something something..

I played at the Lüneburger Stadtfest on Friday with my band April May June. Despite playing with a substitute bassist we did pretty good and a lot of people came out to see us. Here are a few pictures of us rocking out.
The Band!!
Here's me looking like a chump.
On Saturday I went to see Besser play on the Marktplatz. They seriously rock. They are probably the best band in Lüneburg. The have sort of an Acetone/Velvet Underground thing going on there. Here they are:
After Besser I went down the street to El Toro, a nice little tapas joint where my friend Herbert works. After getting thoroughly toasted with red wine I took this picture:
Then I went to check out the techno tent that was set up in an old courtyard. There wasn't much going on there accept a few tapped out rave kids. I then went home and crashed at about 10pm. Yeah Stadtfest!
UPDATE!
I had a gig two weeks ago as well in Winsen/Luhe. It is not like I'm a big rock star and want to show off my pictures but check this one out. That's how you play when your slide disappears and you have to get creative. It is also very rock and roll.
