*butterflies!!

siggimus is getting quite excited about his wee upcoming trip, & about time too, with only 4 days until departure!

so, checking out whether anything has changed, siggimus must say that a few things have given him butterflies in his tummy as he rides down memory lanes

siggimus saw prata vetra in pepsiforums in ’99, before they did the eurovision song contest & renars kaupers mc’d the one they did. it’s now called roxy, apparently

there was sitting in amsterdama with toni & mika, writing a postcard to korlyx with rod stewart abusing skunk anansie in his ears

there was hot chicks (of course) & excellent garlic bread in dickens pub. there was also runcis, the pool tournament at klondaika the night before siggimus left riga last time, & of course paddy whelans where the hot waitress chicks wanted to throw a drunken siggimus out after he gave mike (maiks kungs) some dried fish for his birthday…

there was delicious satana alus at melnais kakis

unfortunately it seems wagners has been replaced, but siggimus spent many an hour there drooling over the waitresses who had gotten to recognise siggimus & started preparing a double espresso if he nodded to them on the way in. then about half an hour passed & siggimus’ pen started frantically scribbling something that would most probably end up in one of his newsletters…

there are both sweet and bitter memories from pulkvedim neviens neraksta. there was going there on the last night in ’99, before flying home. chatting with some famous rappers. seeing janis & mary jane play there. forgetting back pack there one night, having his hostel room broken into the morning after & returning to the club distraught to find the backpack intact, with camera & everything…

but of course the main reason for excitement is that andalusians suns is still at it in berga bazars & still (siggimus hopes) churning out that excellent tex mex siggimus has missed sooooo much for almost five long years now

& shashlik
