When the tour started someone had put the flag on the side, but just before the San Francisco show it was corrected. My flag is the Qabalistic Tree of Life.

It kept reminding me of when I saw her in '95. You don't pay attention to the 6,000 people behind you. There was nothing between me and the band, except the guard rails. Up front, you have to deal with sweat, being squished and people crowd riding over your head. When you’re in front, it seems as intimate as if you’re playing in a small club.

The sound was EXCELLENT. I couldn't even really tell how serious the harpsichord incident was. You didn't lead us to believe that anything was out of the ordinary. I made sure we got photos of everyone in the band. My neighbors were laughing when I was yelling, "Jonas Sen!" We got a lot of pictures of the flags. They symbolize this tour to me. Which one is yours? You said there was a misunderstanding in the design? Do I have too much Einar on myspace? Just kidding. The best is that your photo of Ghostigital is my background. When you scroll down to my comments, all you see to the left is a huge portrait of Peter van der Velde making that face! I’m almost done posting comments on all my pictures. The sound was EXCELLENT.

I would imagine the best sound is where the front of house sound engineer is, but being near the stage sure is more exciting! I really don’t know how it is in the audience.

Peter van der Velde and two other stage men stood around looking under the lid like at was an automobile. I never even played it tonight. That's ok, I faced the crowd all night. We changed the intro back to the way it was in Glastonbury. We stopped marching out to Brennid Pid Vitar, ever since my ass-slapping incident in Scotland. After I gave the thumbs up that my keyboard was okay, Bjork slapped me ten. During Declare Independence, I took one of the Wonderbrass girl's flags. I ran around the stage with it like a crazy man. I took it over to Damian. He let me touch the reactor table. I changed the way Declare Independance goes. It was the 'Declare Jonas Sen Mix'. I kicked ass on Oceania as per usual and on Cover Me, even though Bjork was singing over my shoulder and sharing my song book. Good thing, she caught the pages as the wind turned them too soon." Thanks for visiting Toronto, Jonas! I was in the front (of 6,000 people). We took 100 pictures. It was worth the wait! “Well first there was something wrong with my harpsichord in Toronto.

Thanks for answering me 2 or 3 posts ago... I asked you if you are coming to Chile after being in Argentina... Now I know you will! I already bought my ticket! First row!!! :-D It isn't weird that we buy the tickets and the concert is still not oficial in the gygography... it uses to be like this (I know people who bought the ticket for the Buenos Aires concert 1 month before the date were in the gygography)... so I'm very excited! Chilean crowd uses to be a little wild, I hope there will be a good energy in the concert that day... I'm so happy to see you all again, in the other side of the world (I was in Amsterdam! also first row, I think I said that already), in MY side of the world! Have a wonderful concert this evening in Toronto... I've got a chilean friend there, she says is a very nice city... but too warm in summer... What do you say? Still warm? Regards!!!

Didn't get to see the third Shrek but I add that to my movie list. Hope your sleep is better and your right about commercials in the USA, not to many are fun especially on CNN half the time it seems like their pushing various medicines. :P Have fun on your travels and thank you for the blogs!

Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow! If you get the chance you should check out Queen St. West, like, west of Spadina - there's a lot more cool stuff there than on Yonge Street. And why are you watching CNN in Canada? There are other 24 hour news channels (like CBC Newsworld) that have less of an American slant on the news... Woo Hoo! Can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow!
