1)Are there trees in DE?
Yes! Turns out DE is a very lush and green place. The entire area is green, not too unsimilar to Olympia, WA. Suprising yes?
2)Green, eh? Like the Shire?
As far as I can tell, DE is indeed the Shire. I visited Brandywine Creeandywine Creek Park. I was simpliy glorious! I fully expected to see a hobbit appear from no where. We also saw evidence that hobbits go tubbing.
3)Are there sidewalks in DE?
Also yes, however they are made for the slender model. The cement in the area of Wilimington I was in was indeed small and stoped in various places.
4)Why DE?
Besides being extremly close to the Philadelpia airport, which just so happened to have the cheapest flights to Venice, Brain is back in DE. It was great visiting with him. A perfect relaxing stop before leaving the country.
Besides all of these questions, we also went to a show in Philadelpia held in the basement of a church. Mike D had planned this little excursions to see Silver Jew, but the real suprise was the opening band.
Monotix is a three man band from Isreal that is very aduience envolved reeks of B.O.. They started the show on the floor with the audience and moved the drum kit through the room every 15 mins or so. the lead singer would dash in to the crowd to grab beers, throw water, and even take a garbage can to throw on the drummer. At one point the singer tried to do what I can only assume was breakdance fight the air, to which I got a swift kick to the gut. I grabbed his ankels so he could dry hump the air, which seemed to be pleasing to him.Over all, another great adventure thats to a great host.
