Butch's diary:

Oct. 31, 2001: Halloween in Switzerland. A day off for us and a good time for Koool G and I to hang. Since there is no Millennium Wheel here we decide to climb to the top of one of the Alps today and wait for some snow to drop. Around midnight we are interrupted by some locals who ask us what we're doing. Koool G says something to them in French (I think that's what it was) and they tell us in English that the snow won't be here for another month. They turn and walk away, laughing. We go back to my room and make cups of "Swiss Miss" instant cocoa on my hot plate.

Nov. 1, 2001: Lausanne. It's the "Metro Pop Mini Festival." We muster up the courage to play a blistering, albeit abbreviated, set tonight and the Swiss people respond with shouts of "bravo." Or was it "go home!"?
