Hey all;

After 2 months of living abroad, figured it was time for an update. Initial travels went great - flight to Holland was nice, spent 3 days relaxing and meeting some new friends at my Hostel in Amsterdam, then just a short 50 minute flight to Bergen, Norway. A very generous friend of mine (thanks Steph!) was nice enough to let Hilde and I use her apartment and car while she was in South Africa watching the World Cup, so we had a comfortable place to stay immediately upon arriving.

The last few days have been a whirlwind of work, packing, and visa applications, but I am officially packed and ready to go. Getting picked up in an hour, flight to Minneapolis at 2:00PM, and then flight to Amsterdam at 7:00PM. 2 days of hosteling in Amsterdam, then just a short 1 hour flight to Bergen - my home for the next 6-12 months.

Just a quick update on the show and my travel preparations.

This post doesn't relate directly to my dream, except that I found it inspirational. "Playing for Change" (http://www.playingforchange.com) is the dream of two sound engineers (Mark Johnson and Enzo Buono), with the end-goal of bringing peace to the world through music.

Just a brief introduction, followed by a video with music, a music video if you will.
