We don't always get a lot of time for sightseeing on tour. But in the last few days I have been able to spend some time enjoying the amazing locales we get to visit.
Luxembourg City was a real surprise. Although it is small and sleepy, the town is very picturesque with a steep-walled canyon cutting through the middle of it. We were treated to a Christmas fireworks display and a charming Weinachtsfest, a German-style Christmas fair. You can buy all sorts of unique gifts, old-fashioned toys, jewelry, candles, various arts and crafts, and the occasional glass of gluhwein.
And now for something totally different...the city of Berlin. I visited Berlin in 1996 and the city continues to change at a rapid pace, especially in the former Eastern sector. Although there are plenty of creeping reminders of the West (Starbucks at the Brandenburg Gate), there's a local flavor emerging too. Jesse and I visited Tacheles, a squatters colony of artists, painters, and DJs. It was an inspiring evening, full of counterculture, graffiti, and off-license bars.
I must admit I am looking forward to Manchester. The gigs there should be a triumphant finish for 2006. See you there?
Hi Michael,
Thanks again for your interesting web site.
Before Manchester Gigs there is Amsterdam today and a lot of Begian fans will be there (like me).
We hope you will appreciate this moment.
Happy X Mas

Hey Michael,
I'm a massive Moz fan and Would just like to say you and the boys were fantastic at the G-MEX gig on the 22nd.
Was my first Moz gig and was easily the best day of my life.
I was right the front in the middle and despite the fact that I was almost crushed to death, the whole experience was worth it.
Thanks again you, Moz and the Boys were amazing.
Your work is fantastic.
