we are in Vittorio Veneto, Italy now. Highlights from the past week:
Napoli: we mad sure to get to the Istanbul airport over two hours early, everything was smooth until we got to the gate and they said "the gate is closed, you are too late." Since we had absolultey no notice that our flight had been rescheduled to over an hour earlier, we managed to convince them to let us on. Customs dude was a DICK. We ran way harder, way more Home Alone style than before & made it to the gate just in time to see a "20 minute flight delay" message and the other passengers calmly waiting and staring at us. Awesome. Giuseppe met us at the airport, good vibes immediately. We went for pizza margherita (a la umbria) & dug through some junky magazines. It was May Day so most everything was closed & the streets were eerily mellow. The first time I went to Naples it was INTENSE, greasy dudes on vespas tearing through narrow streets piled high with garbage, total chaos that someone doesnt just crash & crash constantly. It was surreal to see the city very quiet, mellow and also pretty clean (I guess the mafia cleaned up the garbage problem). We met up with Francesco, did a great show at a rad basement speakeasy club.
Vittorio Veneto: we drove about 7 hours northeast to the Veneto area, I am forcing myself to run & do 20 pushups at every gas/strech break on the Autostrade. Vittorio gig at Codalunga was awesome, many thanks to Matteo, Nico and everyone else. We head to Milano in a few hours.
