Hello Mainz

And so it came to pass that on the last Saturday, I got to Mainz for about 10 euros by train. Find other people to share a wochenende ticket with, easy! I had so much luggage to carry it was driving me crazy at times. I had a bag, a suitcase, another bag and an amplifier to carry from Offenburg to Mainz; at least we got a mic and amp now so we can do some damage here!
Since Camille told me I can stay with Iva in the same place, that is what I will do. We're going to organize Yes+ here from the 9th until the 14th of July. The ending on the 14th, that should make for a big party! Maybe we can go to Cologne or something in the evening to have an after party.

We've been to the city one time so far, and it was pretty nice. Not as charming as Freiburg, but when you set that as your standard you'll find that most places are crap compared. However, every town has it's own character so it's just about learning to appreciate it. Mainz is cool for sure, it's a city with old architecture and full of trees, fountains, parks, statues and lies on the bank of a big river, the Rijn. I don't know how they call it in German but that's how we call it in Holland because it flows through Germany to our lands into the Northsea.
Sounds like I know my stuff, but I don't; I'm just guessing.

So we've been into the city and met some people, musicians actually, again. I like musicians; they're friendly, open minded people who are in touch with themselves. Sometimes a bit too much so to say, as in going too much with their emotions; that's why so many musicians face personal problems in the showbizz. But we have a solution for that: Youth Empowerment Seminar! And it's free, on donation basis! Offered to you by Neringa, Emanuel, Iva and ofcourse, me. We just assist however, Isaac is the actual teacher.

But for a course you need people, so that's our main focus in the coming weeks. We'll set up a date for an introduction workshop so people can get a glimpse of what is to come, and then have them sign up for the big celebration of life. Also we'll need to raise some funds; our group is broke and I really don't feel like spending more of my own money, cause I've already done that too much in the past 2 months. If you didn't know yet: I still haven't received any money from 'them' for my traveling expenses. And most of the bills I don't have anymore, I mean, you expect me to keep bills for 2 months? I'll need to check my bank withdrawels to get my reimbursement.

Today I'm gonna dress up business, cause we need to do some big business. I want some hard currency so we can keep pimpin' it here. Then get some free food from the market and we're ready to go and recruit tomorrow's leaders. Peace out!
