We flew out of Newark at a halfway reasonable hour, but that still meant getting up too early for my liking to get our asses to the airport, and Barrett was all apologies that we were not in First Class, but as I kept telling him, I actually did not give a fuck about whether […]
“Wanna go to Cleveland?” I could see his lips moving, and I could just barely hear him through my earplugs, but I thought, There’s no way that’s what he just said. “Did you just ask if I want to go to Cleveland?” Ziggy had the phone receiver up to one ear and said to the […]
I pride myself on being honest. I feel like I worked hard to stop lying to myself and to undo the damage of people lying to me all the time, so if I lie to someone else I consider it really bad. So I’m very not proud of the lie I told in Cleveland. One […]
(Happy New Year, everyone! Yes, it’s a holiday, but it’s a Tuesday, too! So here’s a post! -ctan) — I know I’ve been lucky. Sometimes the luck goes bad, and everything works out wrong, but sometimes it all goes right. If there was one thing that worked out perfectly about Ziggy’s throat problems, it was […]

There’s not much to tell about the next day. We had some tech glitches with the live rig, but between Kevin and Colin and me and Christian and the guys from the venue they were eventually worked out. Soundcheck was a non-event, as if we were all working so hard not to be nervous about […]
Close to midnight we pulled in to the motel in Cleveland, and Digger and Carynne did this little vaudeville act at the side door of the van. (“After you.” “No, after you.” “Ms. Manager, I insist.” “Oh no, you first Mr. Manager.” and so on until they both moved at the same time and bumped […]
