Briefly

Spent today running around getting last-minute items for my trip and packing like a madman. I think I have everything. I think I have too much of everything. I'm prepared to downsize in Ralph's parking lot should the need arise. I've decided to bring a guitar along, as Yosemighty is a very guitar-friendly place and I'd hate to be caught without. I was gonna bring my old Sigma (the bastard stepchild of Martin Guitars), but one of the bridge pins gave up the ghost as I was taking off the horribly old strings and I don't have any extras laying around nor time to go and get one. So, I'm taking my Taylor. I'm sure all will go well, but if something were to happen (I've seen those old Samsonite ads. I'm fully aware that my baggage is handled by gorillas on crack), I'd be more upset if the Martin were to sustain damage.

Gig went well tonight. Thankfully, some people showed up (thanks especially to Glenn and Kelly for coming out!). My old friend and harmonica ace Billy "Hot Lips" Burns has returned from wherever it is that he's been hiding and sat in on Stormy Monday. Outstanding!

We'll be at Koffeeokee on 6/22. Bring a friend. Bring earplugs. Bring da noize.

OK, I'm off to bed for a few hours and then off to Yosemite! I'll be back... eventually. If yer lucky.
