Outside the rose garden in Fenway Park (?) the geeses done gathered. Though there were easily a hundred of them, including fuzzy wee goslings, but by the time we came back out of the gardens, there was nothing left but lingering poo. Apparently the remains of the highway that was moved underground in the Big…

Today we spent some time wandering around Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, PA and ran across an awesome Lego building competition! And rules of the road enforced by dinosaurs. Wandering Pittsburgh before da show. A fun room is the Hard Rock Cafe Mieka Pauley performing with Heather! A truly delicious combination! Our Lovely friends the Weathered…

We discovered this guy on the window before leaving Maynard for Lowell, MA. He was patient as I experimented with macro settings and getting all close. And a little bit of poke-a-lege as well. This is not as fun. Ah, the world. It’s full of bureaucracy without which I’m sure we couldn’t survive in our…

Our wanderings in Portsmouth, NH continue with interesting tattooed trios, a visit to the National Chinchilla Breeders (sigh, that’s a thing?!) and, a the suggestion of our friend Brad, Gilley’s. The company was colourful and the hot dogs were delicious and the aftermath was ghastly gastric. So much so that Heather developed a new term:…

Tom Bianchi hosting his acoustic showcase. Waking up in the space of someone I admire greatly, there’s always the temptation to explore and I’m pleased to see such a tight-knit community as evidenced by the CDs and artwork floating around. There’s Ryan Montbleau’s new CD, there’s a framed piece of Dan Blakeslee’s artwork – I’d never…

Let’s discuss great drinks. The above Dragon from the Red Door in Portsmouth, NH was probably my favourite of all the fancy drinks we downed that night. The cayenne pepper across the top was amaaaazing and burned long after the drink was gone. Appropriately-named and absolutely delicious. Tonight I’m down with the cocktail. I am…

A very cool and very literate hip hop act from the Connecticut area, DIM was one of my favourite acts of the day at Particle Accelerator in Putnam, CT. They even provided this line “A shady lady born in the 80’s playing ukulele”, which was tailor-made for one Heather Aubrey Lloyd. Victoria Station, Putnam, CT,…

Wednesday morning we got on with a pretty leisurely pack. It’s amazing how leaving home can be such an everyday occurrence that you end up treating it with complete nonchalance. That lead me to forgetting my toothbrush, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Wednesday afternoon Kristen and I joined up with Heather, packed…

Okay, so it’s not showering out in the woods or anything, and there ain’t anyone on the grounds but us ilyAIMYs, but it’s still gettin’ nekkid outside and I’m a pallid white shy boy. The psychological impact of this was enough for me to be incautious about other things, including the physical location of my…

A great night at Capital City Cheesecake in Takoma Park, MD with Grammy-award winning Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer as my featured artists… I even had the Lovely Audrey Engdahl pop in! It was her first time at my open mic and it was an incredible night for her to be a part of. She…
