Allez, ils méritent bien un petit topic !
Donc, avant la review du live du 26/11/2011 à Paris, un post de Tim, tour-crew member, depuis la Belgique (spéciale dédicace à la mayo belge) le lendemain du gig de Paris dont la sortie fut apparemment... mouvementée ! (Effectivement, La maroquinerie est en haut d'une colline du 20ème arrondissement !)

Antwerp, Belgium
London show was cool, Loko is a great place to do a show, it was sold out and I got to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen in quite a while. Paris show was completely the opposite venue-wise but also great, small punk rock sized room at La Maronquinerie, great house crew and one of the shittiest load outs in memory. Push all the gear half a block (in traffic) to the bus & trailer that’s double parked and the bus is on a hill so everything has to be held in so it won’t roll out. A guy who we had blocked in took out his displeasure by pissing on the trailer, lotsa larfs. We are in Antwerp today, it’s beautiful where we are. Had an amazing lunch (pictured). Basically a variation on gravy fries. A really nice beef stew(braised beef and onion in a beer based stew) served over fries, it sounds like diner fare but it was better, especially with a beer. It came with a salad that of course was covered in mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is a huge part of Belgian culture and much like the Inuits who have 75 different words for “snow”, the Belgians have over 100 words for mayonnaise.
