Greetings from Canadia
Looking to assuage my angst filled fingers I trekked out to Taylor Guitars in a hurry before catching the steel bird that flew across the bumpy skies toward the east. Freshly repaired guitar arrived safely in Buffalo at the bewitching hour of midnight and we were happily reunited like two long lost friends who found each other through a missing persons website. Me and Smokey Joe- Smokey Joe and Me. Two pods in a pea- looking for a bowl to rest our weary limbs and strings. Smokey puts up with my puerile jokes and incessant plucking and pulling and yammering on. We are ready to rock Canadia this week with our mullets and acid washed jeans and ersatz speed metal. I wish I could have rented an 80's Camaro with a cassette player. That would be a splendorific awe-inspiring sight. Instead here I am in a grass field waiting for the sun to poke its shy little face from behind the clouds that threaten to leak with a bark that's worse than its bite. Waiting for Godot or at least a man named Vladimir to tell me what time sound check is. Then I'll be whisked off to Hugh's Room to sing songs for the denizens of Toronto and most certainly I'll repeat this act in other cities for the rest of the week until Smokey tells me it's time to return to home plate.
Thanks for all of the comments and info regarding flu shots. I've decided to sit and wait and think. But until then, I'll wash my hands early and often.
Yours truly,
Steve

My friends Erin & Chris might be at the show tonight. I better not say they will be there since evry time I say that, my friends think that staying home would somehow be better than a Steve Poltz show. The nerve!
Hughs Room is evidently a 10 minute walk (head south) to my the Cherry Bomb, my favorite coffee house (favourite if you are Canadian)!
ROCK IT TONIGHT!

Sure hope you don't catch the flu in Canadia or on one of those silver bird rides. You should always listen to your ma. That's what I tell my kids. ;)
Is that a "where's Waldo" peace sign in the top right corner?
And speaking of the 80's...They rule! I just totally removed my day-glo hot pink nail polish that was left over from Saturday's festivities.
very claude monet!
i am impressed with your phone! Poor people like me can only have Blackberry to make themselves feel technologically cool!
Someday.... we will all be rockstars with kick ass phones!
Until then...
I miss you dearly!
You just hurry up and get that flu shot. You hear be boy. What a good son. Love, MaNpa. Knock em dead in the Old Country.
You just hurry up and get that flu shot, you hear me boy? Oh and by the way, knock em dead in the old country. There's a lad. Love, MaNPA
