We stayed our first night in Paratico. The hotel is located on top of a pizza restaurant so we ordered pizzas and ate them while watching Walker Texas Ranger dubbed in Italian.
The hotel is to the right of the sign.
Today we walked around Sarnico which is across the lake from the hotel.
Then it was off to Franz parents house for his mom’s lasagna.
Here’s another shot of Touch and Tulu by the lake. Good times!
On the way to the hotel we went with Franz to pick up the split 7″ at the record pressing plant.
Some Russian chick kept cutting in line. I wound up sitting next to her sister and her little kid. Watched Goodfellas.

Waiting for boarding to go down. Check back in 11 hours for picture of us eating at Wendy’s @ Amsterdam airport.
This is the last show on the tour. Head with the Reekys from Germany at P.M.K. in Innsbruck Austria. We’ve heard good things about this club and are looking forward to it.
The Reekys sent us a single years ago. I remember one of the guys looked almost exactly like Dee Dee Ramone from early 1978. We’re happy to get a chance to see and play with them.

This is a weird bill.
A Wilhelm Scream
1000 Degrees
Head
It looks like A Wilhelm Scream has a pretty big following. 1000 degrees is an Italian band touring with them.
Don’t worry AWS fans, our set is only 20 minutes long.

OMG! I found the club on the internets!
It looks like we’re playing with Siena Italy’s own, The High School Dropouts.

Here is a picture of Sarzenello Castle, La Spezia, Italy. Not to be confused with
the Wizard’s Castle in Edmonton Ontario, Canada.
I’m sure we’ll be walking up this hill as well. It was in our contract that the majority of our shows be either on the water or in the Alps.
I was hoping to find this before the trip. From Marky’s Ramones Raw video.
Dee Dee talking about what happened with an Italian fan.
Please come see us play in Villadossola. Anyone in the greater Seattle area shouldn’t have trouble getting there. Just drive to the Italian Alps. Apparently there are around 6,000 people that live here. It’s patron saint is Saint Bartholomew. Saint day is held on August 24. I bet the locals go nuts.
Here is a picture I found of the stage.
This is located there too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we walk over to it when we’re there.
Maybe we should just skip the show and walk around instead. Look at this place!
This promises to be one for the books. We’re excited to be opening for Genova’s finest Ramones cover band “Ramoni”!
Here are some action shots. Please L@@K!
