What an amazing night. The Funk Box was worth every moment of angst. What an amazing night. Best gig we’ve ever played, perhaps. Two djembes beat out drum kit any night. And well air-conditioned. Score. I want to play THERE forEVER. Sitting later that morning, listening to Underfoot with Daniel, we Love to be able…

Tonight we brought home a stray. Not a kitten bent on flight and skies, but a fellow rockstar. Daniel Lee has been on the road for four years – and for the past several months I’ve been hearing about him from Brennan, from Mitzi, from Amy. He’s spectacular, and deserving of a better following than he’s got.…

Oh my dear lord. Why can’t the Funk Box get the right time on their website? HATE!!! Yeah, the owner apologizes profusely, but there’s no way to ever find out how much damage something like that does. Web sites. Pish.

with the pot” – I returned to the Lloydholme exhausted, elated, and relieved. It doesn’t FEEL like July. It’s grey and the air conditioning lets us forget what kind of temperature might be lurking outdoors. Chelsea’s dad doesn’t sleep. I’m seeing morning for what feels like the first time in weeks. Months. And the grey…

We played the Royal tonight. Such a varied reaction to this venue. It reminded me of our initial days at Palomas. Nice sound system, some friendly people… A different sort of creature as owner. Australian? English? I wasn’t sure of the accent, but – I guess I’m getting used to playing and then getting a…

I wouldn’t be leading any other Life. Perhaps a jarring sentiment after the last entry – but it’s true. The Funk Box Issues are falling into place, and though they remain unresolved, Diana (of More Music Group) is assuring us that we’re not taking the blame for any of the chaos, and is still working…

Disaster comes in threes. Is that what I hear? After a fantastic show at the Vault last Friday, and perhaps too much joy, and too many attractive women dancing on the bar… after more fun than OUGHT to be had at a crab feast… and after the joy that was Damian’s party (Damian from Glovia,…

This from an email recieved the other day… says it all, really… “Read about your visit to Belleville. You said that we were backward. ok here, just because we drive pickups doesnt mean that we are dumb. Mine cost almost thirty thousand dollars. Have you seen that fruity mural. One of the reason many of…

And the rain came tumbling down. A map of Montclair, New Jersey. I’m not sure where the “You are HERE” marker happens to be. It’s been quite a while since I was last able to write in my poor Journal. A second death of my “stupendous” Alienware computer has spelled slowness for the website. I’m…

I can’t remember what I did for most of my 24 birthdays, but for some reason I seem to know exactly where I’ve been on Independence Day almost every year of my life. And my birthday is at least a holiday in its own right: Halloween. Maybe it’s the fireworks. Maybe I would remember my…
