"Cap'n Jake"

Ahoy, mates! Dean here. Welcome to the blog of our EuroTour adventures to Europe! Our passage will begin with a flight out of charming and customer-friendly Mitchell Field in Milwaukee. From there we’ll fly to the possibly apocryphally smelly Newark airport for a lengthy layover before we take off once more for Germany. On to Festival Maritim where we’re the opening act! Three days of Teutonic Pelagic Minstrelry and . . . well, our itinerary is published elsewhere in our many web pages, a link which is located nearby.

We were interviewed at our rehearsal last night by a reporter from the Grayslake, Illinois newspaper, the column to appear this week. We’ll be looking for it! I personally emailed a reminder about our trip (with a link to the PRWeb release) to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, the Daily Herald, Newsweek, US News and World Report (you owe us one Mr. Camarow!) and Time Magazine. Plus a handful of online places including various newsgroups, etc. (If any of them fail to publish something about this trip feel free to write to them and accuse them of being un-American!)

Please check back here often and we would love to hear from all of you!

Fair winds!
“Cap’n Jake”

Watch the news. Look for any of the following headlines:

  • Sea shanty group misses Germany, lands in Australia, performs anyway.
  • Military flight simulator mysteriously crashes; American civilians walk away whistling
  • Soldiers enjoy sultry songs by Bounding Main ladies; Valuable U.S. military hardware inexplicably missing.
  • Amsterdam report - six entertainers go in, five come out.

This DEPORT campaign, formulated over Gina’s dining room table so long ago, has crystallized into… what would you call it? A movement? A collective fantasy? A shared hallucination?

Whatever it is or was, it’s awesome. In every sense of the word.

The past sixteen months have been amazing. We can never thank our trusted Bounding Mainiacs enough for their incredible support. Although we can’t ever truly return the favor, we will do our best to keep you all informed of the trials and tribulations of our travels. This blog will be part of that, but we will also be taking scores and scores of pictures to share.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to stuff a few more socks into my carry-on luggage.
Wait… did I bring deodorant?
Where’s the recorder?
Do they sell umbrellas in Germany?
How do you say “I need a lawyer” in German?

We promised frequent updates. So we just had lunch. I had a brat to get in the mood.

What type of freakout will he have when his system crashes? (true story)

Leave your guess in the comments section!

Wohlers here, I had a little time to kill and thought you all might like to see a photo I captured of David and Jon working on a new song.

Freaking Krivitzky is going to turn into a were-skunk by the time we reach Holland . . . David split his pants already - true story.
Magoo is off eating again - true story.

So far we are having fun but it could change at any moment. John W. Is keeping us occupied- he is that cool and may even have saved the life of someone you tolerate.

(Hi mom!)

The flight should last about 1.5 hours. All of Bounding Main are seated in the same area of the plane, as you can imagine wisecracks have been plentiful.
As I look out my window I see beautiful fluffy white clouds over lake Michigan, what a beautiful day to fly.

And did we sing on the plane?

Ohhhh yes we did!

Our layover here is lovely and I think we will be boarding for Germany soon.

We are all having a fun time so far.

So don’t you worry about us!

: )

Oh wait they just delayed our plane and they are overbooked!

Wish us luck!!!
