Kitzke just wanted a good place to sleep for a while. This wasn't a good place.

The Eraser

I got Thom Yorke's new CD, The Eraser, and I love it. I've heard it being called Kid B, and I think that's a decent way of describing it. For anyone who's heard of it, this CD sounds a good amount like the Com Lag EP that was released after Hail to the Thief.

Salzburg

I am in Salzburg right now and its really cool. Its kind of nestled in the outskirts of the Alps, so there are a bunch of little mountains around the city. There is a giant fortress on top of one of these mountains that looms directly over the city. We went up to it yesterday and I got a ton of good pictures of the city. Salzburg also has the best beer garden I've been to yet, the Augustiner Bier Stübe. Its really big and awesome. They give you a liter ceramic mug and then fill your beer out of a giant wooden barrel. Then you get to go out and sit under the trees in the giant garden part. I also visited the Stiegl brewery today, cause since we've gotten to Austria we've been going to town on their beer. The brewery was cool, but the tour itself wasn't all that spectacular. I did find out that they make pony kegs, so I need to find one to get my hands on in the US.

Leaving Vienna

I'm leaving for Salzburg today, and I just wanted to say that I still don't like soccer. I've seen all four games that have occurred since I 've been here and I fell asleep for a bit during all of them. Boring stuff. Vienna is a cool city, even though the area around the Danube was a complete dissapointment. We've pretty much just been hanging out, walking around and checking different stuff and places out.

Vienna

Sorry, but this was the first internet I could get to since Ive been here. Im in Vienna now and I was in Munich for three days, which basically means Ive nbeen drinking for the last three days. Hofbrau Haus is awesome! I have great pictures of Kitzke face down in a cobblestone street. Actually its only one picture, but its just as awesome as you can imagine. But, I still dont like soccer and Ive had a blast telling eveyone I meet. I am heading to the Danube tomorrow and maybe Bratislava, just for the shit of it, and then Im off for Salzburg. I will try to keep posting.
