Since I've seen this book was published, I've wanted to read it. Finally I got a copy via mail, thanks to HOPOS journal, for which I will write a review.

When I go to a concert I always try to get the setlist as a souvenir. I've had some strange ones over the years (the Dum Dum Girls one written on the back of a communist protest flyer), but King Hannah's setlist written on a paper plate takes the prize.

Little stop in Köln before heading to Wuppertal for the Conference on Hans Vaihinger.
I had to go up the 533 steps of the cathedral tower to make up for the plate of Himmel und Ääd I ate at lunch.

Going in a new Mike Flanagan's show I knew I was up for emotional moments, but I wasn't ready for this quote to hit this hard in the first few minutes of the first episode:
