Having nearly lost my nerves while trying to book a ticket or two for The Syndicate at the Minerva in Chichester (I'm not yet sure if I've actually booked only one, B13, or two others, A13 and A18, as well for August 16th), I definitely need something like the wonderful Intergalactic Lovers from Ghent to soothe my nerves!!!

For everybody who wonders what kind of "mess" happened in my home village Karken's church, here the historical account: During the Dutch war of independence (from Spain) Spanish mercenaries attacked the (German) village and the larger part of its population including the population of the neighbouring village of Kempen sought shelter in the Roman Catholic church. This turned out to be a bad idea because the Roman Catholic mercenaries killed the Roman Catholics in the Roman Catholic church leaving behind a great mess, of course this also desecrated the church. There are accounts talking of 2000 casualties - I wonder if this is true though even if it was the population of two villages. Today there is still a cross preserved that had been dedicated by a family who survived this assault - probably by hiding in one of the two "Motte"s - man-made hills with underground shelter rooms.
