Philadelphia Tonight

Thanks to al the Brooklyn folks that came out to the show last night. I had a crazy spark of energy that couldn't be contained. The Truckees rocked both sets like champs. If you ever get a chance to make it out to Union Hall, it's worth the trip. Great room and fine people and really good sound.

I am looking forward to Philly tonight at The World Cafe Live. Tell all your Philly area friends to make the trip over yonder. I like wandering down south street and going to Jim's Steaks to watch the cooks sweating over the grill and yelling orders to each other like some freaky Saturday Night Live skit. I think we go on around 9 ish. There's a Barack Obama rally down below before we play and then we get to rock for a spell.

Last night after the show we stayed at Lou and Rain's palace and Rain had food waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived at 3:30 in the morning. Homeadey cookies and meatball sandwiches and lots of water. We were starved and it was so good to be in a house. With a piano and a mandolin and tons of music mags.

The video shoot went well and we'll see how it all turns out. We shot in front of a green screen all day in Manhattan. I can't wait to see the final result.

Thanks to David and Suzanne for letting us crash with them and feeding us English breakfast.

See ya tonight

The last time I was at Jim's, I ended two years of vegetarianism.
