So happy to read that you keep enjoying the tour! Wish you did the whole tour with DM.
I can't miss you playing a club stage, so tonight I'm taking a night bus to Leipzig to go to WGT for the second time ever. First time was in 2016, which feels like a painfully different lifetime ago. This spontaneous trip just one week after Amsterdam gives me a sense of adventure and makes the present worth fighting for. Thank you for it.

Hi! So happy to hear your feet landing. Does your heel hang mid heavens sometimes, too? Ether-slowed to sub slo-mo, for god knows how long, trust. Each step forward. Each a million micro lifetimes of weather and a time for every purpose. That's a feeling. Also for us black. Sludgy. The weapons always work though, they always for for You. You know, "Headhunter" still gets 'em moving-there was a sound there for sure. Front 242 Seattle Moore Theater, '92 maybe. Someone drove by and snapped a pic of me waiting in line outside to get in. Convinced it was bc I was fat and ugly, a sort of morbid curiosity to collect and preserve. Up in the balcony air banging my head into oblivion - no drugs or alcohol of course, so doing whatever it takes, and it was great.
This brought to mind Lina Bo Bardi: “linear time is a western invention; time is not linear, it is a marvellous tangle where at any moment, points can be selected and solutions invented without beginning or end.” And the Isaac Julien work about her.
I remember going to wave gothic a few years in the mid to late 90s, you took me right back there.
Beautiful entry! Glad to hear the tour is going well! Thx again for the hook up in Amsterdam! I always feel cautious when going to big shows, because they rarely translate well, but Depeche sounded perfect.
How is your writing so beautiful?

Oh, and I just love the way you title your posts.
