WORKERS OFF FOR AMERICA.
Unemployed in Europe Are Likely to Seek Opportunities Here.
BERLIN — The election of Judge Taft to the Presidency and the rosy reports of prosperity in consequence thereof which have reached Europe have had the immediate effect of turning the emigrant tide again toward America. The Hamburg-American liner Amerika, when she left Cuxhaven yesterday on her westward voyage, carried 1,600 steerage passengers, the largest number a German vessel has carried to New York since last Winter.

Get Busy with Me!

November 13, 2008 – 9:45 am

Forgive me if I don’t write much this morning.

I’m in the middle of five shows in four days!

Plus there’s this ridiculous full-time job thing.

Sometimes, I hope the economy falls so far that travelling around playing songs becomes a sad necessity instead of an office boy’s dream.

“I’ll play a tune called ‘Fatty Arbuckle’ if you have half a raw potato for me. And not a new potato! I’m talkin’ full-size tuber!”

Last night was another mega-fun edition of the Dick Monologues. Our next show of readings and song is scheduled for Sunday, December 14. E-mail spike@spikeg.com to reserve your seat before they’re all gone.

Tonight, I’ll tackle Flipnotics @ the Triangle all by my lonesome. I’ll stand up. I’ll dress up. I’ll play memorized songs. I’ll work to perfect my one-man harmony army. Come say good-bye as I head out for a long two-day tour of DFW.

That’s right, Friday, I’ll play the new Opening Bell Mosaic in Dallas. Saturday, I have an in-store at Bill’s Records before I scoot over to Fort Worth to open for the Asylum Street Spankers! I can’t complain. This is the good kind of busy.

All the show details rest below, in case you want to pass them along to all your friends and acquaintances.

Dick Monologues Tonight!

November 12, 2008 – 10:00 am

Tonight features another installment of Spike Gillespie’s Dick Monologues at Hyde Park Theatre here in Austin.

I’ll play a couple of randy songs, and several brilliant writers will read their Dick-related material.

The Monologues have been a local treat for over a year now, and if you haven’t been, you simply must attend.

Wouldn’t you know it, I may be able to get you in tonight for free!

I have four tickets to give away at my leisure.

If you want one or two, just e-mail southpaw@southpawjones.com with the subject “Free Dick.”

First come, first served!

Check out dickmonologues.com for more info.
