So, this blog is pretty much two days over due, and I have some new music/videos I’m preparing to post in the coming weeks but don’t have them ready just yet. So, instead I thought I’d give you a rundown of some of the essentials in my life right now. I twitter way more than I blog: http://twitter.com/wespickering Andrew Osenga …

Holland (part 2)
All of the sudden, we rounded the corner, and out of the whole country, we found what I think are the two places in Holland that haven’t changed in the last 15 years.
