!No Frankfurt No!

Everyone in Berlin advised us not to, but we set off to spend two nights in Frankfurt.  The original plan was that we would drive to Munich with a stop for lunch in Dresden- but with the beer festival going on, accommodation was too dear.  Frankfurt was a practical choice between Berlin and Paris and was the true dark-horse of the trip.  For it was there we met our second little tour angel, a phd student with heart-warming ideals about breaking the artist/spectator barrier.
After wondering around Frankfurt and checking out venues I had looked-up prior, I decided to catch an opera while the boys set up to play outside a beer garden on the river.  By the time I met up with them they had made heaps of money busking, scored an invitation for us to stay in the country for a few days and sourced a potential gig.
Little did we know the gig would turn out to be two, and the country was actually a city packed full of 150,000 artists and students.  Our strange stop in Frankfurt turned into a launching point for Darmstad; a mere lead up to the best show of the trip.
