I’m in California now somewhere between Venice Beach and Santa Monica stealing bandwidth from someone’s open wireless network. They’re very kind to let me make use of their excess resources. On Friday, I got Cyndi Lauper’s autograph after waiting in a super long line. I’m not sure it was worth the camp value or not, but it was entertaining. Later on, Jess and I caught a very hideous performance from Canadian’s Broken Social Scene. I’ve heard the record is good. The live show just ain’t. You have been warned. Friday night ended up with a showing of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on the big screen, like it should be. I remember going with my parents and friend Ron when I was a lot younger and it first came out. it was great to see it again in a theater. Saturday, we picked up Andy and our friend Brian and saw a weird parada and this insane bunny rabbit museum. A lady and her husband have 18,000+ bunnies in their house. Whacko? yes, but, of course it was worth going. Sunday, we saw The Revolution Won’t be Televised, a documentary about Venezuelan President Chavez and the day-long coup that kept him…

All is well in The Saxxon camp. Their shoWs in FrEdonia, NY (last night) and HarrisoNburg, VA (tonighT) were well attended. I talked to Denison for 5 seconds as he was sound checking last night, but no more news from the tour. HopefullY he and Sufjan are rock comrades and loving the road. The Sweeneys…well, if Friendster is accurate, there was an accident, but it didn’t prevent last night’s show from happening. HOpe you make it back alive, boys. Unwed Sailor are planning, plotting, and routing tours for February and March. FebrUary is them solo at the moment; March is tentatively with the powerful instrumental machine that is Ativin. We aRe all thinking showcases at botH SXSW (Austin) in late-March and MacrOck (Harrisonburg) in early April. The spring will be oUr time in the sun and Mara will join up with us all as Bosque Brown. Hopefully Eric and Damien will get the Recording potentialS figured out once they’re back from the big rock tour. I chatted with my old pal Ron out in Portland, OR last night. We grew up together and had big rock dreams. He puts on shows somewhere out there now. I was at his wedding…
Denison and Sufjan start their week of shows in Madison, WI Tonight. If you’re near Lake Michigan, you’ll be able to see them in the next feW days. SaxOn Shore still have a few more shows left in them and The Sweeneys are rocking all over the place through the week, as well. I’m happy about Barry Bonds winning the National League MVP. He has his many critics, but I think he’s one of the classiest players in the game. He’s down to business and just want to play. That’s what us fans should want. :::scott:::
