*BENEFIT FOR LYNDAL
*AMSTERDAM Pt.2
*WEEKEND CALENDAR
OK, ya'll, here's part two of the Amsterdam report, along with the weekend calendar, and word of a couple of important community events.
I'm busy dealing with a computer crash which has put a hold on the production of the five films we are readying for the film competition at SXSW. Dogman is working on a replacement drive as we speak!
It's been musical enough for me, since our return. The benefit art show last weekend was a blast! Not only did Tyri Schiek and Robbie Parrish play with Roger and I, but Tyri's set turned into a Sirens reunion with the appearance of David Monday and Sandy Stewart! Then, Sandy and Tyri showed up on Wednesday, when The Hippies subbed for Sandy Hickey's Soul Providers at Walter's on Washington. Sandy Hickey was there, too - only the band had hit the road. We all had fun, and Sandy Stewart became New Jack Hippie #300!
Plus - I finally got some video of Carolyn Wonderland in Amsterdam up on the web at hippies.tv
Life is good...
But sometimes tough...
So, we help each other...

AMSTERDAM Pt. 2
Report From The Field
----------
Marlo didn't get up with me on Sunday morning. After breakfast, I napped for a few hours, but it was clear that she'd need the whole sleep to recover from the long night before at the club. I decided to head out in another direction, to see what I could see.
I went to the transit station and hopped on one of the tram lines. The map said that #4 began at our station, so I figured I couldn't get lost if I stayed on that line. The trams are electric trains, like the ones which are being built now here in Houston. Number 4 took me through some urban residential neighborhoods to an area which had plenty of businesses and residents.
I walked into several shops to try my luck at communicating with the natives, and picked up over-the-counter pills at an apothacary, lasagna at a deli, pizza at a snack shop (where I watched Outkast on TV - entertaining in any language!), and some Coca-Cola Light. They all asked where I was from, and they were each from a different part of the world. While in Amsterdam, every pizza I ate was cooked by a Turk!
It was getting dark, so I jumped back on #4, and found other tourmates working their way back to the hotel as well. There was Jason Enright and Scott Daniels, making thier way from the music shops, and showing off music books they had found. Scott, Carolyn's great guitar player for the past few years, is a Houstonian I've known and have had over to the studio before. Jason is a music retailer and guitar player in Austin who wound up on this trip with us by winning a contest on the radio for a pair of tickets. Just so happens, that he had gone to school with Carolyn, as well! We had each found Amsterdam warm and friendly on this day.
Though we generally found friendly people everywhere, our clash with the angry anti-american drunk at the chips place was by no means our only encounter with humans of other cultures and levels of intoxication and tolerance.
On the very first evening, two days before, at the shoarma place I mentioned in part 1 (just as Matt, Marlo and I were about to get our food), we met a Norseman.... a very drunken Norseman.
There were only four small tables in the place, large enough for a one-car garage at best. I was seated only three feet from an open door, which led to the cold wind, and the narrow cobblestoned street. Across the street was the Magic Mushroom, or some such place. Psychedelic mushrooms are legal in Amsterdam, too! Funny how every street with a head shop had a couple restaurants or snack shops right next door!
There was only room for one lane of auto traffic on these streets. They had been built long before the automobile was invented. The patterns of the different stones and bricks, which indicated the borders of differing areas for different types of traffic, gave an sort-of entertainment value to the act of watching the ground in front as one was walking.
It may have been the first time I've actually watched the ground as I walked. At home, I often bump my feet into things as a result of not watching my step as I move in and out of spaces. In Amsterdam, I learned to look down. My old knees demanded proper lookout on these surfaces.
So, suddenly, the wind blows a drunken Norseman into this little restaurant, and he lands right next to me. Only his sudden reaching grasp onto the corner of our table had kept him from landing on the floor. He didn't make eye contact at first, shaking his head full or red hair as if the shake would give him some renewed sobriety. His head raising slowly, and he realized that he was face-to-face with another human being. It was me! Our faces couldn't have been more than 3 inches apart.
He smiled. "You are Amsterdam?", came the question.
"We are Texas!"
"Is OK?", he asked, referrring to some individual aspect of this situation which I will never be able to distinguish from the others.
"Is OK!", I replied, non-discriminatingly.
This conversation lasted another three minutes. He was gentle-hearted and happy, but very drunk and stoned. After establishing that I was OK, he was OK, Marlo was OK, Matt was OK, Norway was OK, the USA and Texas was OK, we had little else to talk about, and the proprietor had our food ready. We left it to the shoarma man to see our Norweigan pal back towards the street, and settled in for the tasty seasoned lamb and beef delights in front of us.
Speaking of mushrooms...
We knew that the possession of small amounts of 'soft-drugs' were legal in Holland, if you were a citizen, so some of our group had become concerned because we were not citizens, and we were staying in a nice modern hotel in the new business district. Many of us fell into old habits of putting damp towels under the hotel room door, to ensure that none of our sweet smoke made it to the hallway.
On the first morning, one of my tourmates reported, "I left the 'DO NOT DISTURB'; sign on the door, but the maid came in anyway and made up the beds, and STRAIGHTENED UP MY MUSHROOMS!"
I knew just what he had meant. In our room, three little buds I had accidently knocked to the floor the night before were assembled on the table for me (in alphabetical order) when we returned from breakfast! What a country!
Everything seemed to work better. There was nobody treating anyone else like a second-class citizen, and there was nobody acting like one either. Most of the few cops I saw drove around in little cars which couldn't catch you in a chase, and they didn't carry guns. Sure, there were special armed squads to call if anything got out of hand, but nothing got out of hand while we were around. The worst thing we saw was a bicycle accident, but we heard that one of our tourmates was mugged for 5 Euros.
HEADED FOR A SECOND NIGHT AT MALOE MELO
---
There was a bit of confusion about what was supposed to happen on Sunday night. I had been told that it was a night off, but Carolyn had told the Saturday crowd that she'd be back tomorrow. When I saw Cole and Michelle getting ready to do the town on Sunday night, I asked what gives...
Carolyn was hosting the open mic that night, and it was optional for everyone else. marlo and I flagged a cab. We couldn't allow ourselves to feel safe on the train with the video gear. As we has the night before, I took out my little Maloe Melo bumper sticker and showed it to the cabbie. He seemed to understand, and took us to the club, passing many of the now recognizable landmarks we had passed the night before. Our fare was around 16 euros again, so we felt good that the two nightly fares matched.
The back room was locked up on Sunday, and there were microphones in a little corner of the front pub area. Carolyn was sitting in front of one of the mics and was readying her guitar. Matt Hubbard came over and told me that they had let him in back to play the old upright piano there. Matt (who you may remember as our day one street buddy), was probably the luckiest guy on the trip. When Jason had won his free contest tour, he chose Matt to come along with him.
Matt's a fine young multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter from Austin by way of the midwest. He's got Willie Nelson on one song on his new CD, so you know that there's something musical happening inside of him!
That's all I have time to send now, so watch for installment #3 next week!
See you you at Lyndal's benefit on Sunday!
