St. What’s Basilica? Leaning Tower of Where? Anne Who’s House? Spending 4 weeks getting intimate & interactive with the rest stops, service stations, driving conditions, and road rules of Europe was not exactly what my 18 year old self had in mind when she first set out across the Atlantic all those years ago with her Mountain Equipment Co-op backpack, Eurorail pass, and quick-dry travel pants.

Last week I took some new press photos of Miss Quincy & The Showdown in Rivoli, Italy at Maison Musique — a 100 year old slaughterhouse turned music venue.

The Caribbean-colored sand of Rosignano Solvay’s Spiagge Bianche (white beaches) is a side effect of a nearby factory that has been manufacturing sodium bicarbonate for 100 years.

Every once in awhile I understand why people think touring with a band is living the dream. Like last night, when we stayed & played in a restored 17th century olive mill on a 75-acre farm estate that produces organic vegetables, fruit, and herbs.
Photos are from Fattoria dei Comignoli in San Martino in Colle, Umbria.

After 3 weeks in England it feels good to be in a place that knows how to rock n’ roll (Germany, that is). Here are a few photos of Miss Quincy & The Showdown getting hot & sweaty at Das Greif in Lunen.
Laser Quincy.
Intimate & interactive acoustic encore.

While in England I didn’t fondle the crown jewels at the Tower of London, watch Will and Kate parade their baby bump around Windsor Castle, hear Big Ben ring at noon, see the sunrise at Stonehenge (although I did have quite the adventure there 2 years ago), attend a church service at Westminster Abbey, see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, or have tea the Queen …. So don’t even bother asking.
What I did see in the past 3 weeks was more miles of motorways, A roads, B roads, and teeny tiny country roads than the average Brit has seen in their entire life. Here’s what the UK looks like through the windshield of a big power-hogging right hand drive Vanny.
