oh, tour.
cambridge, MA. good touring so far. canada ruled. people know the songs from the new record so that's good.
rejuvenated somewhat on a day off @ our tour manager's folk's house in burlington, VT.
his name is jamie and he is our sound engineer/tour manager/merch/drive/load buddy.
he is damn good at what he does and we are having a blast with a new person in the van. plus we have a trailer now. movin' on up.
the show at middle east tonite so far is not that crowded, but it is early still.
dinner was great though. cousin ted and his wife joined us for a meal and an extensive interview.
we've been doing a lot of those lately, which means people like us i suppose.
jeez, get a couple songs on the OC, next thing you know....
well, not exactly.
but if you go see that movie that just came out, just friends, then you will hear a song we wrote and recorded ourselves especially for it.
pretty neat.
oh yeah, jamie is blogging too. he seems to be more consistent than me so far.

ok bye,

last nite's dream
i was on a college campus. it wasnt mine for sure, but i was my current age.
wearing a white button down with striped tie.
and some crazy light blue, dark blue, red, white, plaid pants that were short and showed my socks pulled up and white and blue boat shoes.
i remember thinking i looked kind of silly, but i didnt care.
i walked around campus and then greg chwerchak (a guy i knew in college that would pretend to be friends with me and then turn around and humiliate me in front of others) walked by and started laughing, then some other cool kids started laughing at me. hard. harder than i have ever been laughed at. it was a horrible flashback to all my worst childhood memories.
but i did something different than back then.
i stood and took it. i smiled and didnt say anything.
it was as if i had learned from the years of humiliation, ridicule and abuse from my peers. i learned there is no come back in a situation like that.
i know i looked kind of silly, but i DIDNT care.
cuz i was different.
so i closed my eyes and heard their laughter and felt it passing right through me.
it took me a minute and then they couldn't touch me at all.
i jumped straight up into the air, about 15 feet up, and caught the wind and floated into a cool kind of peter pan pose and then flew off over the courtyard.
they stopped laughing.
