Vienna and Austria - OH YEAH

We just played this amazing show in Austria. In Vienna. It's a Tuesday night, the place was full of people. It was a community art space, under the train tracks in this old old building. An amazing space! People were so overwhelmingly friendly too.

And I didn't even know we were playing in Austria until the other day.

Our booker had given us a list of the shows, and this show was billed as 'Wien'. I figured it was another show in Germany. But no, that's my embarrassing lack of worldly knowledge in play there. It is in fact the German word for Vienna. Duh.

So we spent today driving from Germany to Austria. We got to see a lot of the Austrian country side and it's so so beautiful. Rolling hills, little ancient looking villages. All that good stuff.

Also, our host Manuel was amazing. People have been so welcoming to us, giving us their beds and food. So much more than we expected. Manuel gave us his living room, and even set the table for us for breakfast the next day. How nice is that?!

Something weird about some German and Austrian flats though. They're very tight for space, so they sometimes have the shower in the kitchen. Even in a really nice flat like Manuel's. It actually works pretty well, but seems strange to us foreigners.
