urgent message from a flatbroke crashlanded musician Unfortunately I find myself in major trouble in Europe. After paying for a hotel in Amsterdam for now 14 nights in a row, having to leave the UK after 3 months there due to financial problems of surviving on the pound, I have no recourse but to ask for help.
I am not asking for money at all!!!!!!!!!
I am asking for a couch to sleep on, or a floor space even, for a few weeks at most, if not a few nights if thats all that is possible.
I am from the US, I am alone in Europe, I have no family here ,and the family I was born to in the US is not a fan of being a musician as a career, nor do they care about my situation in the slightest currently. As that road was walked and they were quite clear as to their thoughts of me and my work.
I have a record to begin recording in October in the UK. which is what makes this the hardest on me, as I dont care about suffering, but I wont let my music suffer, and the agreements I have entered with record labels currently.
I must survive until that time, and write the record with some sort of stability in tact since it will be at least 12 songs in length, and be a 6 to 8 week recording process, which I must be physically, mentally, and spiritially prepare for, and of course musically. It has been increasingly hard to write what I am hearing in my head everyday, when I am living out of one bag, one guitar case, and one suitcase, now for months plural in essence. I also am worrying about where I will sleep quite regularly, and of course financially I have spent almost every euro I could muster up on lodging, or transportation to get to Europe from the UK, and than survive in Europe now.
I have no other recourse but to ask for help. Maybe you believe in my music, maybe you have been in a foreign area for a reason, and that reason didn’t happen, I.E. my UK tour, or maybe just maybe you are feeling generous or kind. Either way I need a friend, and help, ASAP.
I find myself now without a place to sleep within 3 nights of today! I dont even think more than 2 nights in reality.
No one pays for my touring, or records to come out, or any of that, I pay for that, and the costs to get to shows everything, and that has all now hit me 100% at once, living me wondering how to continue after 4 years of doing this full time, its beyond scary to be facing this alone.
The impossibility of me working as I am from the US here in Europe outside of me releasing records and touring, is quite clear and stamped heavily in my passport now thanks to the UK port authorities.
I cannot afford to fly to America, which was my plan and I had a tour there that I booked and could not fulfill all due to money. The flights alone for me are over 1,000 one way, without staying one day in the US.
So I decided to regroup stay in Europe, and leave the UK, as it is cheaper away from the pound. This all brings me to studio time prepared for October 1st in Manchester, it makes sense to stay, for 10 weeks until the recording begins, and play some new songs out for people as I write them etc.
Thus I need a couch, a floor, a good will gesture, even for a few nights, but I am down to enough money to get on a train or bus, and get out of Amsterdam. However I cant unfortunately STAY IN A HOTEL , as that would just break the little money that I have left.
A friendly couch, where I can sleep for one night without stressing about how to afford the next night in the hotel would be wonderful. Than I can get to work, book a local set amount of shows, and earn money, and sell my cds in kind, plus prepare for my 12 song album, which takes lots of time, and focus on my end to get ready for.
Unfortunately as you can understand its hard to be inspired when money weighs down your every move.
I will repay whomever lets me lodge with them for a bit, in kind, once I am stable with a place, the end goal is a place in Europe for good for me, and that will happen as soon as I can settle somewhere which is the whole point of writing this bulletin to all of you.
I am sorry if this rubs anyone wrong, I have no other recourse, and I am sure you would do the same if you have everything in 3 bags, in a foreign country, with about less than 200 euro to your name, and no family in Europe…….I need help, a place to sleep and rest my head that is all.
I am clean, well spoken, well groomed, and I can play guitar like no one’s business, I will even serenade you if you want, and I am very much dedicating my next record to you, for helping me continue my music career, when right now I feel like the whole world is out to make sure I fail and dont have a music career. Even my own parents.
Thanks for your kind time, support, and understanding. I am dead serious and would never joke about this type of situation, I feel this was the only way to salvage a really hard past 3 and a half months for me in Europe now, and to be able to continue my music career for the future.
*If you can provide me with a pillow and a floor, I would be forever indebted to YOU!
Please do write me if you can help, please dont write me if you are only going to try to piss me off, I have had enough pressure and stress right now where I dont need any more.

Beste Allemaal,
Het is tijd voor een Speciaal Bericht!
Een bericht over een bijzondere dag waar we even bij stil
willen staan.
Deze keer is dat donderdag 16 oktober. Dan is het Wereldvoedseldag.
Oh?
Je hebt er misschien wel eens van gehoord. In 1981 is 16 oktober door de Verenigde Naties uitgeroepen tot Wereldvoedseldag. Jaarlijks wordt op deze dag aandacht gevraagd voor het hongervraagstuk in de wereld.
Het hongervraagstuk?
In grote delen van de wereld heerst honger. Dat weet je. Maar wist je ook dat er ruim voldoende voedsel wordt geproduceerd voor de hele wereldbevolking? Dat er toch honger is, komt door de hoge voedselprijzen (de prijzen voor rijst en graan zijn de afgelopen acht jaar met 75% gestegen) en zullen hoog blijven. Dit is een ramp voor ontwikkelingslanden waar ruim 3/4 van het inkomen aan eten wordt besteed (ter vergelijking: wij besteden 10% van ons inkomen aan eten).
Kan ik daar wat aan doen?
Het hongervraagstuk is niet zomaar opgelost, maar je kunt zeker je steentje bijdragen! Bijvoorbeeld door Fairtrade producten te kopen, minder energie te verbruiken en bewuster met voedsel om te gaan. En door op 16 oktober naar Utrecht te komen en mee te debatteren over deze problematiek op de Wereldvoedseldag. Luister naar interessante interviews met bijvoorbeeld minister Gerda Verburg en hoor praktijkverhalen van o.a. een Afrikaanse boerin. Dagvoorzitter Bas Westerweel, een jongerenpanel en het publiek houden de sprekers scherp met hun vragen en meningen.
