Thanks for letting me travel. Though I would have liked to hear the music.
If it's not fancy from the outside (the pub) it doesn't matter. The best gatherings I had at places wich often did look like a better basement.
In Germany we say "Kleinkunst" - don't know how to translate that. We are having once a year the "Stamp-Festival" in Hamburg; artists are visiting from all over the world, play music and perform artistic shows. They are all like gypsies, living of their art. Incredible people. I am always in awe for everyone who can play an instrument. Such a lovely way to entertain yourself and others.
