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…

1 a.m. Tonight I’ve remembered to bring the second blanket in, and I am very comfy. This afternoon was sunny and warm, and I’m glad I packed so diversely. I’ve been in a heavy winter coat, driven through snow, been in short sleeves, and rain boots. Gina’s voice is voluptuous, answering the new wave of…

The loneliness and the quiet on this solo tour is more than I expected, actually. Tonight, it’s too late to get the internet password from my sleeping hosts, and so there’s not even that company. So I’ll write this for a while, scream into the void, and then watch the movie I rented from the…

Halloween is, of course, Heather’s birthday. We had her over to the house and made her shrimp and grits and creme brulee. We watched zombie movies and handed out candy to children dressed as faeries and Optimus Prime. I’m having trouble keeping up. A LOT of that trouble is on the social front. I can see…
