Friends,

I’m glad to announce that Mr. Brian Kremer will join me onstage Wednesday night. He plays guitar real good and sings like an angel in a bird cage. These Whip In shows have been quite fun. If you haven’t checked out the new stage set-up and menu items, you’re missing out.

Now, for your personal edification, here is a list of things that can take you to the next level:

* elevator
* discipline
* escalator
* Nintendo Power
* hardware salesman
* stairs
* stack of trained bears
* sticktoitiveness

You’re welcome,
Southpaw

You guys!

I don’t have time for jokes and wild.
“Wild” is a noun now.
“Noun” is a verb now.
“I had to noun my way through a bear trap to make it home in time for dinner.”

The point is this: I have a solo show at the fabulous Whip In tonight at 8 pm, and I’m performing tomorrow night as part of the super-fun Encyclopedia Show. Details are below, and I hope you can make it!

Friends, the summer heat has drained my writing ability. My brain is mushy mush. I’m excited about playing Wednesdays at the wonderful Whip In this month, but I can’t think of a way to drum up interest.

I’m like the ant who finds a great 2-for-1 coupon on paper towels but can’t spend it because it’s a hundred times his body weight and he doesn’t have a checking account or legal tender. I’m like the manager of the bacon factory who says “More slices!” but all the workers hear it as “Morse License,” so they just stare back, dumbfounded. It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

All I know is, I’m excited to be playing where the people are friendly, the drinks are extraordinary, and the food is yummy varied. There is never a cover, but I sure do appreciate $5 tips. Come enjoy the air conditioning with me, and pick up beer/wine/incense/chocolate for the pantry while you’re at it.
