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…

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…
