The Post Pandemic Tour Diary 2023

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS POST PANDEMIC TOUR DAY 43 ( I think)

Luton Airport at an unholy hour . I had to stay at an airport hotel to be able to be in time for the plane, but the promised 10 minute walk turned out to be twice as long and involved vaulting a fence with my bags. The first show is at Gagarin in Tel Aviv tomorrow and I regret listening to the news before the sun rose this morning. It’s a polarised planet and it seems half of the human population is hellbent on making it as ugly as possible. It’s up to the other half to counter this… with respect, sympathy and love.

European Tour 2022- postponed

February 4, 2022-
2022 has been a rough ride so far and it’s sobering to see we’ve merely crawled to the 4th of February as I type this missive. Sadly we have had to postpone our European Tour (due to begin in March) for 11 months because of the sheer logistical impossibility of crossing land borders in the current scenario (more to come on this in the coming days).  Even so, the white flag remains folded up in the drawer for now and we fully intend to return to the U.S in The Fall (in fact we have a provisional list of dates which includes Florida!!!  And Asheville!!! Fingers crossed….)

The Post Pandemic Tour Diary 2022

Five more days until the tour officially commences, but Edward has already started his tour diary!

THE POST PANDEMIC TOUR DIARY 2022 Day One

October 13
Of course, referring to this tour as ‘Post Pandemic’ is wildly unrealistic but it sounds better than the “Everyone Stopped Bothering to wear masks and pretend COVID was no longer a problem Tour 2022”. I’m sitting in Heathrow Terminal 5; a busy, hassling sort of place but nestling in my list of ‘airports I hate’ at a respectable 15th.

So what is my least favourite transport hub? Frankfurt is certainly a contender for its rudeness, size and its ability to make the innocent traveler feel like a cockroach.

But no… The VERY WORST airport in the Kaspelian Diary of Horrors is Amsterdam Schiphol.  I recall one horrendous night after a one hour flight in a frightening storm where it took nearly double that time to get through Passport Control ( pre Brexshit too!). The crowd was crammed into a small corridor . Here and there it actually swayed from side to side. People screamed , small children were crying incontrollably. And the unnecessarily pedantic officer in his uniform wanted to see the whites of everyone’s eyes. Naturally I did make a complaint.. it was acknowledged and passed on. Bah!!!

Let’s be positive and dwell on the wonder of Southend Airport. You have to go there….
