- No one can break a $50 in this town? I just assumed the wealth of my dreams would bring slippery ease to this terrestrial one-act. Wrong. #
- Say what you will about parking garages. They've got great acoustics for humming Del Amitri tunes on a Friday. #
- @oh_steph Hipsters make me feel old. I use the term negatively when they're walking too slow. If I like 'em, I say "guppy" or "go-getter." in reply to oh_steph #

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Cactus last week. I had a great time, and I managed to expand my personal record in the medley division to 35 minutes of non-stop music. I’ve never fallen down on stage, but I came pretty close after the half-hour mark. Luckily, the imagination of the audience held me aloft.
Speaking of imagination, please take a moment to vote for my SXSW Panel submission: The Weekly Song: Screw Inspiration & Force It. This is your chance to help me attend the 2010 conference and spread the gospel of songwriting on a schedule. Here’s the link: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/3580
Before I truly relax and find myself for the remainder of August, I have one more fun show Tuesday night at Jo’s Downtown on 2nd St. It’s my first time to play there, and I look forward to performing my magical realist folk on such a snazzy block. Hey, they have sliders and $2 Lone Star tallboys all night! Wear comfortable clothes and park on the street for the wildest Tuesday night ride this side of Coney Island.

3. Make signs. (I welcome peaceful protests of the show, but please keep the shouting to a minimum.)
