Dear diary, wish you were here

Here, generally in Amsterdam, but specifically here, too, at Kapitein Zeppo's, where I am fortifying myself with a few pilsner, what the Dutch call young cheese, and an espresso.  Oh, hey, the gypsy jazz trio is about to come on...

Both of the openings last evening were fab.  Lota's busy busy busy and I'm, uh, scouting dinner and drink locations.  Research.  Wearing my bone to the bone.
