08/05 Sontag

Sunday, I think we slept in until 1. We went to the Marienplatz and ate at a touristy little joint by the haufbrauhuas. Curtis and I took off down to the Isar for a little bike ride around the city. Once again the whole city was either down by the river or in the beer gartens. Germany works hard and plays even harder. That night we went to a cool show at the kafe kult
which I found when looking up LA hipster punk band Mika Miko. I saw they had played here early this summer. I figured this bar was a safe place.

Unfortunately on the way there my tire got stuck in one of the Tram tracks and I went down hard. We were booking pretty fast too. I skinned up my elbows and hurt my wrist alittle, but don't worry! I'm really ok. These things happen and worse has happened in the last 5 years, I'm just not writing about it. So please don't worry mom or Jin. I won't post pictures of my injuries, nobody wants to see that!

Falling kinda threw me off a little. I was way overconfident flying down the road and I had seen those tracks and been aware my tires are the same size and the wrong move could mean pavement time. Luckily nothing serious happened, but it did wake me up a little bit. Here we are first week in Munich and I fall off my bike. Well at least its out of the way. The bike still works and it made me think of when I used to skateboard and every body part was all busted up all the time and i never thought twice about it. I'm getting old.




Back to the show. The show was amazing! It was the typical hipster crowd. Tight pants and mustaches are alive and well in Southern Germany! The band was from Italy and they were called Neil on Impression. They sounded like Pelican but only a little more emo, which I liked. I like Pelican, but they get a little metal and experimental and i just like it to be build ups and passion and emoness. These guys had that down. They were really nice and played a couple extra songs for us. The music soothed my injuries as I let it all in.
