    Hee!  Guess what movie they were doing a special showing of! Sigh – we couldn’t stick around, but we did go to see the Guardians of Ga’Houl – or whatever it’s called – you know, the Owl Movie?  In Pittsburgh the ticket prices are ALMOST so cheap that if… (does math) I took 5 people…

    I’m jealous to get the text from home: “Rowan’s here!  He’s baking apple pie!”  My housemate Amy has apparently returned home with many a self-picked apple and Rowan has traded his exquisite baking labours for part of the haul.  Among his many self-taught skills, his affinity for all things oven is probably the second-most popular.…

We’re on I-70 in Indiana stuck behind a cow truck.  We could get…

    After arriving in Findlay, OH we went for a wandering to kill some time before our show at Coffee Amici. We encountered ground fish…. My eyes and brain just don’t want to wake up.  Too much sunshine I guess.  We’re passing through Dayton, OH – a town that I think we’ve not played in since the…

    Heh – it’s good to be reminded that our friends are out and about and getting work.  We ran across just such a reminder about Dave Pahanish (not that we need it, his tunes are on the radio all the time!) in a truck stop in Pennsylvania. It took the Love of a good woman…
