I took today’s photo while on a bike ride from the beach (Amager Strand) back into central Copenhagen. I tried looking on Google maps to figure out the name of the church in the background but couldn’t find it. I think I was on Amager Strandvej (although it’s possible I was on Amagerbrogade or something else in that vicinity). Anyone know the name of the church? Of course, it may not be used as a church anymore since this is Denmark. It could be a museum or restaurant or something else at this point in Danish history.

I did absolutely no research prior to arriving in Amsterdam last summer. So when I walked out of my hotel to find that I was staying in a district (Leidseplein) with this much nightlife activity I was a bit surprised. Without even participating in the possible debauchery the scene was a trip. Ten shots of Jägermeister for only 10 Euro? And I could get pancakes to go along with that? Or I could head next door to The Bulldog Palace Coffeeshop and order off an extensive menu of legal cannabis. Pot not your thing? Farther down this road you can have your choice of magic mushrooms. Actually you didn’t have to purchase or consume anything to get your head spinning. Just wondering what the mounted police could possibly do while on the back of a horse was enough to send your mind into space.

I found out later in the evening that the hotcakes at Pancake Corner come served with huge scoops of ice cream on top. Weird.

I was completely blown away by an unfamiliar band a couple nights ago at the Historic Ashland Armory. I’ll post some more photos on my other blog soon.

I picked up Spellcaster’s “Under the Spell” at their show in Medford a couple nights ago. After a couple of listenings I have come to the conclusion that they sound most like an obscure band called Powermad. Although I don’t listen to it often, I find Powermad’s “Absolute Power” most enjoyable. “Under the Spell” is great too.
