Extraordinarily nasty, evil, rotten news.





This just burns me up.

Hi Ysobelle,

i'm afraid Kylie was right. Somewhere between the fabulous Stavesacre and 
Havalina shows on Wednesday somebody took my backpack from my tent, as 
well 
as emptied my trousers in which I kept my passport, drivers license, 
credit 
card and bank card. And return train ticket to Chicago.
I called to block the cards, the thief didn't find the cash i had stored 
in 
another place in my tent.
Getting back to chicago was also a problem. The woman who had picked me 
up 
from the Galesburg train station also dropped me off there and left 
straight 
away assuming i was ok (as I thought myself). But it turned out I 
couldn't 
get a new ticket without photo ID. (anti-terrorism policy).
So I had to call the festival grounds to find me someone to drive me to 
Chicago. Luckily there were some JPUSA people willing to pick me up from 
the 
station and get me back to Chicago.

So now i'm back at the youth hostel, tomorrow I can get a temp passport 
from 
the dutch consulate and I will call my bank to send over some cash.
I had planned to fly to Boston today but that must also be rearranged.

But I'm alive and well otherwise, which is the most important. I'll 
survive, 
thanks be to God.

You can forward this message to the list since i'm off-list till back in 
Holland on Saturday.

Greetings,
Mark
