    Man. Beyond the USUAL reasons that I’m glad I didn’t die in my sleep last night, I’m really, really glad that the above were not my last recorded words. My battery died. Yesterday was a dead, dead festival – but despite that we had a good time – perfect weather, a couple of CDs sold.…

    Last night was delicious and I add Columbus after Columbus to my list of favourite places. It’s odd that such a historically contested figure should have so many awesome places named after him. Also, Columbia, MD really, really fails and either needs to be renamed something like Bowie II or get it’s ass in gear.…

    Florida: the Sunshine StateNew Hampshire: Live Free or DieYou’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania…Dayton, OH: What the Fuck? I mean really, Dayton? What the fuck? It’s not like you’re Balitmore. It’s not like you get points for being hardcore or anything… you don’t HAVE to BE this way! It could be DIFFERENT!!! This week has…

    Good choice? Bad choice? Tonight we stayed in Dayton, Ohio instead of making a 230 mile round trip to Columbus, Indiana and back. We chose to save $50 in gasoline and play an uncertain open mic, a hole in the wall spot called the Chapter II rather than go to a sure thing at the…

    Us North-Easterners are comfortable with churches pushing the concept of heaven and an eternal reward. Indeed, we’re exposed to plenty of placards letting you know that you’ll sleep better counting your blessings than counting your sheep and that to know God is to know Love. In extreme cases there’s the hint that no matter how…

    Well, I’m sitting on Renie’s porch in Columbus, OH, fresh from viewing the fine flickage that is Resident Evil 3. I’m sitting alone. In the dark. My night vision ruined by my computer screen – but it’s okay because I’ve got the high ground, it’s a calm night and zombies don’t move quietly. All in all…

    “I’m not a real person yet.” It’s a funny sentence. A couple of my friends have uttered it or something similar to me. I think what we mean is we’re not grown-ups yet. I was grown-up for a little while… I went to my job every day and I worried about my gutters… but I…

    Well, we’re off again. Wandering, traveling, putting every penny into our gas tank. It’s a little frightening to be traveling in a big-ass truck – worrying about 3 people rather than just Heather and I. Rowan eats breakfast, Heather and I don’t. I don’t go to parties, but if Heather and Rowan are going… I…

    Life is such an intense thing. I Love it… I Love intense showers, I Love intense music, I Love intense women, I Love intense days. The compaction of my Life, the pressure of it and the sweetness of relief, pushing as hard as you can till you’re sore and your throat is aching and your mouth…

    Just a quick note before I crash – good letters from people today. A lot of emails in my inbox, one from someone who’d severed ties with me years ago over a stupid fight, another from someone brand new who has entrusted me with a strange amount of information… another just filled with beautiful photographs and…
