am today in new york city, right across from madison square garden,
we just did six shows in a row, and now have two days off here in gotham.
tonight i will have sushi with an old friend in the east village and some time to sort my things.
this hotel has a kitchenette, and i went to the corner market and bought some Greek-style yogurt (not as good as yours Mom, but pretty nice) and heated some spanikopita...mmmmm, the whole room smells like baking.
we had to sign a non-disclosure agreement for this tour, but i wouldn't be posting anything compromising anyway--my writing is more about what's happening than who it is happening to. That said, these people are very down-to-earth and personable, the boys, very sweet. I have toured with much of the management camp, so it was like a reunion.
the LA shows had us doing the 3-D film shoot, a fascinating process, they let us look at the show in 3-D in a special tent, really astounding how it comes off the screen. The Anaheim venue was full to the ceiling.
then we trundled on through northern California to Denver, where I got to hang out with my favorite sister, Sa. We went to sushi and saw the big blue bear. I love you, Sa, happy birthday, late. (but also early)
we travelled through Nebraska, where I found a great record store, called Drastic Plastic, and bought myself a picture disc of Bridgette Bardot---(photo to follow one day, it is in my bunk) and though st. louis and indiana. Day off in Philadelphia, checked out the comic book store (good, spent some money there!) and i met the crew at Tattooed Mom's ...the ants were some more needed public art...
will do another round when i come back from sushi....

Sounds like quite a time! I'm glad it's going well.
Enjoy the sushi (the other one looked great)!
You always take the greatest photos! Love the ants climbing up the building!
What a whirlwind! I suppose it must kind of blur together after a while.
The 3-D film shoot sounds really neat. The ants are great... and that blue bear looks huge. I love that kind of public art. Wild photo of the tattoo parlor signs... that's the way to use signage. My dad, the artist, did sign painting for a long time to pay the bills while I was growing up.
