back at the homestead from tour. flew home on sunday and have mostly been sleeping or cleaning since. today was the first day back at work and it was fine. honestly i still feel like i am late for a show. like this is just a resting moment before i need to hit the road with waltzing matilda again and haul ass to the next town which is between 6 - 15 hours away. just keep us away from fucking nashville man.

some stories of the road with more to come soon are over at hobolovetour 

i practiced some tonight after i got enough breath in me to not be full of panic. and tired
next week is the hella pretty army benefit for fran
today i found out the three dollar bill cafe closed. home of the queer open mic for sol ong but also - the small dream of a couple of friends of mine. it was a suden closure. i really hope they're ok.

later this week is heart with cheap trick and journey - whoooooooooooooooooooooooo metal man!!!!

i really just wanna go play my accordion some more but now its too late for the neighbors

its all according to plan you know - so far - the last 10 days - magic.

Come and see the one and only HOBO LOVE TOUR and get ready to  be amazed by Waltzing Matilda the One Beer Prophet (formerly known as J. Wilber and Reverend Jess Duggan) and Cindy Emch (aka Emchy) of Vagabondage and Rhubarb Whiskey as they embark on the Hobo Love Tour!

That's right, folks – these two talented tattooed ladies are following the harvest moon during the month of September, starting out in Beer City and then following the curve of the big river down to St. Louis and New Orleans.   Then, they'll be cutting back east to descend upon Louisville, Kentucky and, of course, the City of Big Shoulders.  They'll be spilling drinks and breaking hearts through the rust belt and the south.  Whatever you do, don't miss this daring duo!  It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you'll never forget!
