When is Melbourne adventure? I live three hours away but I'd hitchhike down to see you, if you came. How's February?

St. Pete is a whole lot more beautiful if you have time to sit in a coffee shop and just observe people walkign by, or if you can stroll along some of the canals or the roods that are parallel to Nevsky Prospekt. If all you get to do is rush around becasue of a tight tour schedule, you'll have missed the really cool little places like the CCCP Kafe and the other wonderfully sketchy mafia owned and run shops/cafes. Also, if you didn't get to sample Teremok, you misses some fine Russian fast food.

I worked for/in the Hermitage, if you spent only 1 minute infront of every piece of artwork, you'd spend 9 years in the Winter palace, add on all the other palaces and gallery's that are part of The State Hermitage Collection and you're looking at roughly 12 years to see everyhting for just one minute. If you ever get back to St. Pete, ask them to let you see the storage vaults under the Winter Palace. The cats are adorable and fierce and the volume of artwork in storage is staggering.

Glad you're coming to the east coast soon...I can't wait to see you in concert for the first time.

Damn, wish I'd kept up more closely. I was in Moscow and St. Pete in summer 2001, just when the currency was starting to stabilize and the biznissmen got all the carbombings out of their systems.

I'd have suggested (in Moscow) the former VDNKh, a sort of Communist World's Fair with the Cosmonaut Museum and the Ostankhino TV tower nearby, or else making the Master & Margarita pilgrimage to Patriarchs Ponds and Mikhail Bulgakov's house.

In St. Pete I got to see the Ethnological and Antropological Museum Named for Tsar Peter (or something like that), as well as accidentally getting into the Hermitage for free.

Yessss, the old Leningrade Express! We went the opposite direction, Moscow-St, Petersburg. The woman in charge of our train car gave us the stinkeye. She was kind of pretty and had her hair in a long, thick braid. I was in luv!

Any chance of a side trip to Amsterdam before or after Hamburg, preferably after 19 September?

Had you any ideas coming back to Moscow /St. Petersburg or e.g. Kiev for a longer "dive" into the life here?
It is a familiar feeling to me since when I went to Moscow to see your concert last weekend
i then had only a couple of hours for seeing the city from the "inside". At night when i was sitting in the train back to Kiev i had this devastating feeling understanding that i've missed something big and important..

Would you consider stopping by Israel at some point? The Tel Aviv cabaret scene could always use a serious boost, and of course the night life, beer-directed world always flourishes under semi-fascist regimes...
Mr Neil can testify that we don't bite (too hard)... :P

Yay re: East Coast tour! I've been moving a lot lately and my favorite musicians keep doing shows in places that I've just left. (Which is my veiled way of saying "come to New Haven please!" Since I'm moving there in a week!)

I traveled overnight by train from France to Italy this spring, but we booked second-class and definitely didn't have real mattresses and sheets. :P

I definitely dig the cathedral-tractor.

Florida technically counts as on the east coast, right?

... Right? (Please, please, please, say right!)

In other news, I wish I was in Russia with you. Life in the same place every day is making me progressively sadder and sadder.

Hope you're enjoying where you are though. :)
