iMac Countdown, detour

In yesterday’s episode, the iMac had left Luxembourg, which, for you non-Europeans out there, has borders with France which is the iMac’s final destination.

Well, the two concerts in Lausanne happened. The venue was very nice. People came both nights. I probably had as much stage-fright as if I had actually been on stage. I have a hard time being objective about the quality of the performance, but it was definitely better than OK. My bro certainly pulled it…
