"Alberta bound, Alberta bound, it’s good to be Alberta bound"
-Gordon Lightfoot

Ok, so perhaps I’m only going to Wichita.
But I’ll be carrying a big stick.
Or, at least a big trailer.
40′ long, plus the hitch
I always wanted to drive a semi

Then I could report UFOs and other crazy things truckers do when they’ve been on the road too long. It’s only the Aurora project, but it’d be fun to call in and try to convince the gullible that I’d seen a UFO.

Sometimes I forget

No, I did not forget. I did make an entry yesterday. There is a glitch in the log program. Every post is two hours behind. I’m waiting on the Chivalrous Productions tech support to fix the problem. I’m still strong at one per day.

Broken cooters

So there’s this girl I’ve decided I like
I’ve also decided not to pursue it
Every time I make up my mind
I’m good at making an ass of myself

I have an auction tomorrow
We print stickers to put on every item
They detail the sale order
We have a messed up printer
The very left margin gets eaten up
Sometimes it skips a character
I put the stickers on myself tonight
We’re selling a bunch of electric cooters

Kenny who?

| Posted on

Still sluggish, though I feel great
Had a weird show last night in Tonganoxie
Had one guy for the first 30 minutes use me as a jukebox
He’d yell it, I’d play it
Then he became less interested as I became more
In the girl who was playing pool right in front of the stage
I couldn’t tell if she was 18 or 28
That reminded me again why I play music
So I could tell beautiful women how I don’t know any Kenny Chesney or Dirks Bentley

Swung back by Lawrence to finish the party there
Decided it would be a better place to be than on I70
Rolled back into Manhattan at noon
Looked at G’s bass amp
Decided again not to take it back yet

Booked a couple shows out west
January vacation
The week after I go to Colorado
I get to go to Lenora and Ellis
Right…right…

Bliggity blam
I lost my Red Sox hat
I guess I’ll have to buy yet another one
That makes two I’ve lost
One of which was literally eaten by a friend’s dog

"To the dog house I stroll" -Blaine Younger

Hamming it up

| Posted on

For anyone in the area, I’ll be playing a solo acoustic show tonight at Helen’s Hilltop in Tonganoxie, KS, just west of Kansas City.

I’ll try to sing a song in every key.

I think I’ll stop by MP’s and mooch some Hamm’s.

How much?

It's cold in Kansas

| Posted on

It was a cold one last night. It still is. I have so much cardboard wedged in front of my radiator and my truck still didn’t warm up very fast. It handles like a sled on the ice.

Wayne and I went to Old Chicago and signed him up for the tour. We started with something that tasted like it had been made from pine needles. In a blender.

I had an absolute blast last night heckling the Jackson Taylor Band. Boland put on one hell of a show. Maybe I should go to rehab for a while.

I can’t decide if I want to go watch Jason Boland
Or if I want to watch Alias at it’s new time, 10:00pm/9:00pm central
Perhaps I’ll flip a coin
