I miss them at the Vera by one day [flying out of Amsterdam that same day] and at the Tractor by one day [again, FLYING OUT OF AMSTERDAM THAT SAME DAY]. Everyone please go see Megafaun for me. Though I’m sure you were going to already.

Life through the lens of Katie Holmes roles

Letters to Diego, II
I missed your birthday by less than two weeks. Your mother, 8 and one half months pregnant, took the bus with your father to meet us in Madrid. That is 5 hours of transportation, at a good clip; I’m always grateful for the lengths she and I go to in order to share a meal and a show or maybe a whole weekend if we’re lucky.
I remember every detail of that trip, a surprising fact as...
