Hoof and Mouth first gig

We played our first gig at the christmas party of MPI - a good practise because at the late time we played, pretty much everyone was drunk = easy audience!

Hoof and mouth

The merchandize machine is rolling and soon there gonna be a thousand stickers distributed in Bremen's bars and public places. Our first live gig is in 2 weeks on the christmas party of the Max Planck Institute. Get your dancing shoes...

White

Seems like chances for white Christmas are quite good according to what I see here in Bremen...

For me that means switching from bike to tram every morning, well at least all the bodies inside the tram keep you warm ;)

Ho, ho, ho!

Wise guy

Finally I turned 30 while I was in Goa (not the worst place actually to get older) and so some friends of mine and myself organized a big party in Hometown Cologne with 150 people and flatrate drinking - just the usual stuff. Here are some impressions of that night

Getting it all together

Back from a lot of travelling this year (cruise to the azores, MarMic course at Sylt, vacation in India...) I'm finally back in place and will not leave Bremen again before the end of my PhD next year...
Right now it feels overwhelming, beeing in the position to finish it all up here but somehow it's gotta happen tll summer next year.

Also, the band's getting better every rehearsal and we gotta new name & new MySpace: www.myspace.com/hoofandmouth - this new MySpace 2.0 is really a pain in the ass to set up!

Well, trying to adapt to the cold weather first & also having a blast tomorrow in colgne with all my friends for my 30st birthday!

Stay tuned folks!

Leaving the Azores

So we arrived at the Azores on the main island Sao Miguel after flying the whole day and changing flights 3 times. We still had some time in the evening to check out the city (I ate the biggest hot dogs I ever saw...) and hang around a nice concert at the city centre, enjoying caipirinha's.

Yesterday evening then we started of to do a 2-day tour and have some of the ships equipment tested in the water. In the meantime the scientists unpack their boxes and set up the equipment. The mood among the people is like the weather quite excellent. I'm sitting in the middle of a lot of boxes right now and will get back to them in a minute.

I hope you guys are fine, if you want you can reach me on the ship here: dfink.d@fs-meteor.de (please send text only)

I'll keep you posted,

Dennis

Message on a balloon

Those balloons were prepared by the people attending a wedding party last weekend and were already flying some seconds when I took that picture...

Saw those kids while I was playing with the "panning" function of the FZ-38 which should capture the object in focus while blurring the fast moving background. I even found a third kid :)

I saw that car when I was waiting for my girlfriend to come out of the H&M - who says shopping with your girlfriend is not fun?!

Countdown

It's one month left until my 3rd and last cruise, going to the azores with the german research vessel Meteor - Last chance to do some deep sea research and get those mussel samples...

Well all our 74 boxes are packed and even my ukulele is in one of them - hope I didn't forget anything ;)

Old memories

Its good to be remembered from time to time on the good old times with my band run and rise - we rocked it quite a bit!

But time moves on and so does the music, for me that means new levels like ska and reaggea with my new band strongly recommended (www.myspace.com/stronglyrecommended).

Stay tuned for awesome music!
