A particularly long night. Or at least it seems it. I’ve been at Perk since about 2 in the afternoon, and I didn’t really sleep much last night. Took a nap from 10 to midnight , then woke up and was up and stayed up till 7. I managed to sleep till 11, but mostly…

Ugh. I’m sneezing like crazy and my nose has decided that the season has officially really hit summer, or perhaps my nose has decided that the difference between 100 degree moist outsideness and 70 degree dry indoorness is just too much. Nose bleeds, headaches – things would be kind of miserable if it wasn’t for the…

Kudzu drapes the trees that line 40, turning them into hulking, lumbering beasts that reach longing arms toward the highway. The body language suggests the intent to either devour vehicles in some horrific way, or to clutch and snuggle them like a comforting toy that might be accidentally crushed also in some horrific way with…

It’s a nice, slow day. For the moment. We’ll get on the road soon, and then race to Wilmington, and then look for an internet connection, and then work furiously till we sound check at the Soap Box, and then we’ll play our little hearts out… et cetera. But for the moment, it’s sweet, sweet slowness.…

But I wanted it to be “yes”. these bronze people are scattered all over downtown. I saw a couple of others, and then postcards with still others on them. They’re pretty neat, but scorchingly hot in the sun. Bigira wants the chair. I thought he wanted Love. He simply wants the chair. Cats. Hrmph. More…

Heather and her little horse, Scarlett. Scarlett turned out to be kind of obnoxious, but in a very subtle, slacker kind of way. She LOOKED sweet, but as is so often the case, this his a heart of mischeif. Katie took us horseback riding through the hills of North Charlotte. She’d apparently had a list…

Then we found this version of Cars’ Tow Mater – apparently set up for a kids’ birthday party. Oh and just in case Disney runs across my website and wants to track this guy down for copyright infringement or some other bullshit, we went back the next day and he WASN’T THERE!!! Sunday, Sara and…

It’s been a discouraging two days. Last night, the bar was noisy and overblown. Overgrown with people evidently on their millionth beer eyeing the short skirts walking past. I’m fairly cynical about the bars we play, and the people in them. The culture horrifies me. I was a greater part of it in Annapolis, constantly…

I’m staying inside the house. I’d Love to say that that’s because it’s summer and it’s hot outside and we’re in Charlotte, NC. I’d Love to say it’s because we’ve got Legend on DVD and I’d rather sit and watch Tom Cruise get covered in glitter. Hell… I’d rather say I got in trouble with the…

It’s strange how unpurposefully you end up at the same rest stops over and over again, stopping for gas at the same places. I guess if you’re travelling the same routes and you prefer Wendy’s over McDonalds, that’s just going to fall into place that way, but it was funny pulling off at a pretty…
