Record cold snap in the south. Fourteen hours of driving snow. Twenty cars
wrecked,
one in flames. We couldn't have worse weather. It snowed from NYC to
Greenville,
N.C. Everything is well... snug in the van. The Farside was a cool club but I
had to wrangle
with the club owner about money. Hey, it was probably just a misunderstanding,
but I learned lesson one about booking a band. Get a contract. Otherwise they
were great. On to Asheville...
All I can say is some people need to be shown who's boss.
I'm not sure what that means but I know Paul Page does. We lived
through 14 hours of driving snow and played The Far Side. It would
have been great if my harmonicas were in the right box. Not a momentous
start, but we warmed up nicely. Everyone came home safe and sound tonight
but it looks like trouble lies ahead. Spirits are high because were
all high on spirits. It's way too late to be sitting up writing like an asshole
when I definitely should be sleeping. I need a pen-pal."If you exorcise
someone who is not possessed is that bad?" Personal goal: Eat as much
southern BBQ as possible. First stop was Pete Jones. Chopped pork
on a plain hamburger bun with a sauce that consisted of a jar full of peppers
filled with vinegar...Oh yeah
north carolina is cold, south carolina is south
of north carolina. maxx is my buddha. snake boys
mom makes the best pot. salad in life. kelleigh & dl's
vocals were the highlight of the first show. rhythm section
was clumsy loud and powerful as balls, we'll neaten up
a little but not too much.
goodnight curlie, see ya under the big top...
pp.
Numb toes, drunk schmoes (sp?). This is living...;-)

all the folks at the far side

mare mare sez 4414 nun street #1 wilmington nc
28401 give her a call - bands and folks going through town
had fun tonight cold like nobody's business i'm finally
awake after taking the hell drive - it was truly lovely -
i'm sure that someone already spoke of the 35 mph drive
watching cars careen off of bridges at every turn -
really a vibe-slayer
but we arrived... and we ate barbecue and we drove and
we played this gig
money is funny and beer is cheap -
more to come
really

There's a strange movie on cable about clowns. Clowns, all kinds of
clowns. Small
Clowns, Big Clowns - all kinds. Reminds me of my last day job. There was
a clown
"mission statement," there was "Clown Quality Management. Oh yeah, the tour...
The tour is a deep experience, but for some reason I don't feel like
talking about it
at 3:00 in the a.m. What's it like for you - at your computer screen
reading about this?
What did you do yesterday? Was it a routine day, or did something
momentous happen?
Did you feel really good about yourself, or did you do something really stupid?
Send details.
High points so far: Dave Liles' mom's potato salad and the Jurassic Park
pinball
machine at the Far Side. I hate to give plugs to any Spielberg merchandise but
the shit was fun. Low points: the piece of dooty tape player we bought at
Radio
Shack when my Sony started marfing tapes. Look for us to be returning this
doggy today.
...the next day
