Basketball 1 (above) & 2 (below)- Here Chris & Glenn take on two 5-year-old German kids, and resoundingly defeat them in hoops. Go Sonics!

Bus - The "Bussa Nova", a real swingin' pad on wheels. Home of the "Dub Lounge" and "Luc's Poker Paradise" (He actually gives you HIS money while you play. Such a deal!)…also where we sleep.

Carla & Cigar - Here's our diva, Carla, smoking a cigar at a low rent bar in the Amsterdam red light district. Oh, the Magic!

Carla - The lovely Ms. Torgerson, outside the Stedlijk Art Museum in Holland.

Chris - Topnotch DJ (and occasional guitarist and singer) Chris Eckman.

Christine - Our Lady of the Cello, Saint Christine.

Elmer - The infamous Elmer, bus driver extraordinaire and huge Style Council fan.

Glenn - this former film star has really made a great comeback with music. We're all so proud of him.

Imm - Our good buddy, David Immergluck. We ran into him in Holland. He's on the road with John Hiatt. Here he is looking like Satan - which is who he actually is.

Koln Show - The show in Koln. Filmed by German national television for later broadcast.

Laura - Laura, Carla's sister, the Queen of Merchandise. Don't even think of asking for free stuff - she's a world class kick boxer and you WILL die!

Luc - Tour Manager and Sound Dude. Here he is when Eckman & I tried to collect the poker money we won from him.

Stephon - noble roadie and guitar tech. Wonderful guy…but he does like to play cards without any pants on. Hmmmm?

Terry 1 - Terry, Master of the Drum Domain. Here she is giving "Hustle" lessons outside of Schipol Airport to confused Dutch businessmen.

Terry 2 - If only Liz Phair could have been there!!

Tony - Me, Tony. Here I am contemplating jumping the barricade and finally escaping. They had me under 24 hour police guard, you know.
