traveling man

since 2006, ive been utilizing my passport. traveling all over Europe, South America, Mid East and Asia.

I haven't really been able to talk about my travels too much cuz i haven't had a blog like this. (by the way, shout out to Out The Box Management for the hook up)

Im not gonna get my Questlove on and post a 15 chapter blog on this tour.

Most of the stuff you can read on my twitter anyway. (twitter.com/jonlaine)

ok back to the task at hand:
Played Sons d'Hiver festival for the 2nd time with Kokayi last weekend. twas a blast. although, i had a bit of a problem hearing my monitor the way it was in sound check. I had to play EXTRA hard and it tired me out by the 3rd song. oh well....

met some fans back stage after wards from Austin and Minneapolis.

didn't hit the after party with Doom unfortunately (womp woooooomp)
next day, the band left for DC, i left for Holland.
problems began when my credit card didnt work and had to spend %$#@*?! a lotta money thru the exchange to get a round trip train ticket.

The Hague is where my good friend Fauve lives. she took me around the city like Dilla would take his folks around the D. sans the hood.
one thing i noticed more than anything here, PRETTY GIRLS!!! not that there aren't any in the states, but almost EVERY girl i saw was beautiful! (not as pretty as the dime though!)

Hit Amsterdam yesterday...AWESOMENESS! had to see the Red Light District for myself, i regretted seeing the woman sitting her 400lb booty on a stool next to a bed at the window (yeeeeesh!).

There was even a dude staring at a young girl contemplating going in. (lordy lordy!)
Hot a few record shops and bought some dope vinyl at a flea market for pennies!

as i gave the guy my money, a swan swam right by the market in the river. felt like i was in heaven just then!

i walked all through the Hague bumpin Dilla and my Dilla tribute album (soon to be released) in my ear buds...til the right bud stopped working.
spent 20 euros at the Apple store for replacements.

chilling now in Vapiano's restaurant where a beautiful bartender took my GM prematurely!

I leave tomorrow to head BACK to Paris and reunite with the Dime! HUZZAAAAAAAH!!!

Got some things brewing up in the next month or two.
y'all stay tuned here for updates.
later...

ill post some pictures when i get my phone and laptop together like a porno!

ps- COP THAT Al Green Project album (Kaimbr & Kev Brown)
-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
