February 21st 2003:
While Jack, Toby and Jeffrey are pre-occupied Kimya makes plans.
Seargent Buz Fuz and Anders Griffen outside the Metro Club in London.
While Jeff Lewis strings his guitar on stage at the Metro, Anders wanders in a waking dream.

During soundcheck Anders takes the Anti-folk Drumkit for a spin while Grandmaster Gareth warms up the melodica, and Jeffrey sports his new Herman Dune t-shirt.
The whole bunch in Nurnberg, Germany, with Stephan Wagner of Radio  (far left) and adventurer Thomas (Next from Left) who gave the travelers a place to rest in his colorful palace of stock-piled media.
Jack Lewis touched by the spirit.

Toby Goodshank, making the world a better place, starting with the man in the mirror.
Rocking-out in the Leicester is Mike Rechner of Prewar Yardsale in his stylish Bionic Finger t-shirt.
Here they are Mike and Dina: Prewar Yardsale after the show in Leads.
At the Port Mahon in Oxford the show went on unbeknownst to teh fire marshall who would not have allowed such a crowd.  As Major Matt Mason's shirt and expression attest the place was nearly aflame due to the crowd splittng the room at its seems and the great energy in the place.  Anders however, manages to keep cool.
Filling in for Dufus.  Grandmaster Gareth put on a great performance in Oxford with members of his band Misty's Big Adventure.
Grandmaster Gareth, besides graciously driving the Antifolkers all over the UK and Ireland shared his great musicianship with Jeff Lewis, Dufus, and Major Matt Mason USA as you see them here in a last minute run-through at Costelloe's in Limerick.
A Multi-tasking Kimya Dawson has the focus and concentration to play and sing for the sound check while reading over the itinerary and making mental notes of what's next.  It's almost like being in two places at the same time.

Awwww Shucks!
Okay, now here it comes for real.  As Kimya throws down at 4AD in Diksmuide, Belgium.
Toby Goodshank, channeling at an in-store performance in Hasselt, Belgium.
The drummers: Anders Griffen, the antifolk drummer, with Neman Herman Dune, the Herman Dune drummer.  This is the Lille after the second of their two shows together.
The last moment of a narrow escape from Kimya's evil twin.
