I’ve mentioned before that my wife and I are going to Belgium, so I’ll now give the full scoop. Though all of my friends already know, and I don’t know that anyone else who comes to the blog actually cares, it seems like I should tell the blog-o-sphere anyway.
My wife recently got a new job at a university in Tennessee. She will be teaching French, English Comp, and likely something else in the Spring, but each Fall she is in charge of the Belgium program. The university has a learning abroad program which is based in Verviers. While there will be classes taught there it is really more of an opportunity for the students to travel and experience Europe. As such there will be lots of adventures.
Some of the places we will travel will be Paris, the beaches in Normandy, concentration camps in Germany, mountains in Austria and islands in Greece. We will be in Europe for three months and more than half of it will be spent traveling.
We leave this Monday for Tennessee. We will stay there until August 7 at which time we will fly to Belgium. We are very excited, though a little overwhelmed.
This will, of course, have repercussions on this site. I know that we will have Internet access both in Tennessee and Belgium. However, I am not too sure on how often I will be able to use it, nor how much ability I will have to download/upload concerts. My guess is that once we set up in Tennessee I will have daily access to their network and thus will be able to still post shows. I’m also guessing for the same in Belgium. But I could be wrong.
There will obviously be breaks in posting when we travel, but I’ll keep you posted on when those days will be.
I suspect that my posting of shows will take a general dive. Between traveling, living in strange places, and generally being more busy than I have been I simply won’t have the capability of uploading shows on a daily basis. Again, I could be wrong, and I suspect I’ll still post quite a bit in Tennessee, but Europe looks sketchy. I will continue to try to point you to some cool websites with cool show download, and I’ll probably start pointing out some cool torrents as well.
With less bootleg posting, you can expect more general writing. I have every intention of writing periodic articles about my travels, and I hope to be more of a daily blogger during this new adventure. I will also try to write more Random Shuffles and keep up with the Radio Free MP3 columns.
As always, I really have no idea what I’m going to do. I often think I won’t have much access then find myself with nothing to do but surf. Then again I often make plans to write more and find myself playing games instead. What I do know is yet again the Brewsters are moving and traveling abroad. I never expected this to be my life, but I can say it is rarely boring.
