Gearing up for Christmas at a music shop means a LOT of cardboard. Here’s Paul getting ready to build a fort! Or recycle. Christmas is coming. There was an eclipse last night. The portents are all around us! Surely, the fat man in RED COMETH! I Love Christmas. We might even get a white one…

Jade is a new Maryland acquisition, and we’re all too glad to have her. She’s quite Loverly. She sang a Lady Gaga song, I believe. … and Troy sang along. Which was disturbing. Andrew McKnight performing at my open mic. What a delicious man! Great show at Java Mammas if I do say so myself. …

Heather and I staring up into the ceiling at Frederick, MD’s Brewers Alley. This is a bar gig, but the food and the Lovely environment makes it feel a little more like a coffeehouse. However, the big video screens up on the walls bring me back to reality and I must admit that when audience…

Connecticut is freezing. As are all the homes. The coffeehouses, normally a bastion of warmth with steam rising from mugs and condensation fogging the windows, are cold. Okay, there’s no reason for me to take this photograph. We have these signs at home. However, at around 11pm in Putnam, CT the cops go all around…

Kristen and I went over to my brother’s place in DC to experience their new kid, Max Lyon. It’s a superspy name to say the least. George and Del make a new Christmas tree every year and I was glad to see that the tradition remains strong. I’m a frakkin UNCLE! I will admit to…

Heather’s getting a Martin. I think it’ll be the first one in the ilyAIMY family. I’ve never owned one, Heather’s never owned one. Keola and Rowan have always been steadfastly Martinless and Kristen’s never owned a guitar, to my knowledge. Heather’s returning her Taylor and replacing it with a Martin. I’ve got no pictures of…

I have been sick. Oh MAN have I been sick. Today we’re down to congestion, but Thursday morning I woke up with one of the worst sore throats I can remember having, like swallowing sea urchins, a swollen feeling in my throat – just horrible. It harkened back to the devastating illnesses of childhood, the…

Solo Tour Journal – Nov. 17, 2010 – Somerville to Baltimore
By Heather Aubrey Lloyd on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 4:16amSo last night in Cambridge I played the Lizard Lounge open mic contest, celebrating its 210th show with host Tom Bianchi. That thing is amazing. Seriously. Go there on a Monday night whether you play or not, and hear some of the best (and sometimes that most…

Cassie on da mic. The cats just get up to no good. This track was uploaded to mp3 before I could stop her, and now even SHE’S got more stalkers than me. Almost no-one will agree with me, but I Love it when the Christmas goes up at the local mall. I Love the music,…

Solo Tour Journal – Nov. 15 – Somerville, MA
There must be an elementary school next door at recess. They sang some sort of song with hand claps together in unison, all muffled by the walls of the house I’m in, before I assume they went inside. It’s now very quiet. Just after noon, last day of any playing on this trip, and I’m…
