013
Tilburg, The Netherlands
THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We arrived at the hotel in Tilburg and while I was sitting
in the lobby playing my Gameboy waiting for everyone
upstairs PUSA walks in and scares the hell out of me! I
tried to save the game real quick and talk with them but
the only thing I could say was "hi". Chris said that his
son also has a Gameboy. Then they checked in, went upstairs
and I went out to dinner with my family. Then I realized I
was staying in the same hotel as PUSA, cool! After dinner
we went to 013 and bought some t-shirts. Then we went
backstage and got into place, again the best place, on the
side of the stage! This was my sister's first concert and
she really liked it!
THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!!
After the show we met them downstairs and said hi. They all
signed Emma's shoes which Emma thought was really cool. My
Dad then took us back to the hotel where Nienke the
nurse/sitter was waiting for us and then we
snoozed...zzzzzzzz My Mom and Dad went out with Andrew and
Jason and got drunk! The next morning we saw them at
breakfast and Jason showed me where the eggs and bacon
were. Then they left to their next concert...... My Mom and
Dad saw PUSA that night at Huntenpop. P.S. They probably
got drunk again!
Joanne: "No, we didn't get drunk!"

Paradiso
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Peter's comments:
F**KING AWESOME!
It was the best day of my life.
It was also feather plucking insane!
O'Yeah!
I met the best, most awesome, great, super band of my
entire life!
THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!
They kicked some big bootie ass!
We had the best seats in the house, on the side of the
stage!
I got the drum sticks from Jason the drummer!
He also gave me his tie!
He told me I could have it only if I go to the next show.
Thanks for the tie Jason! :)
I'm gonna wear it next time!
They were really nice to me.
The people at the Paradiso were also really nice.
I hope to see them again someday......
My Dad took some pictures of them, check 'em out!
It's just a few
days after the concert and we're still on a "PUSA high".
Wow! That is some good medicine. Would like to bottle that
and sell it or save it for a rainy day. I don't know who
had the most fun. (Ron took Peter home and I got home
around 3:30am. ) The band was great to Peter but we also
met some pretty amazing fans. There is one down side. Our
10 year old daughter Emma is extremely jealous we didn't
let her go. (uh-oh) We've decided to postpone our vacation
in France a few days so we can see the boys again in
August. Damn good medicine.
Big thanks to: Our dear friend Jeffery in Portland who got
this whole thing started, Dave, Jason, Andrew, Chris, David
Meinert at Fuzed Music and Kors Eikelboom at the Paradiso.
Groetjes, Joanne
