10 Bands 10 Countries

Now, if you’ve been reading the last few blog posts, you may be wondering what my friend Stephen is doing on what is supposed to be a family vacation.

Back in … A while ago Stephen managed to convince Laura it was a good idea for me to go to Japan. Then we went to Vancouver to see The Police on the opening date of their reunion tour. Then we went to Boston to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Then he came up the idea. 10 Bands 10 Countries. We already have 3 down.

Then Rock Werchter came up.

Laura suggested we go. Depeche Mode and Blur were on the bill, bands we want to see, and it would cross off another band, another country.

Back in November we purchased the concert tickets.

Then on December 31 we decided to extend that trip to more than just Stephen and I going to Belgium, but to a family vacation in Ireland to visit family.

So, as I type this, Laura and the kids are in Ireland, Kyle is back in the house in Seattle, and I’m in Belgium.
