I might have to start charging for this stuff.

Okay, okay. Here’s what’s up:

Shows are great. New York really stood up on Friday for our show with the peerless Don Dilego. Daddy Wrall and I “sat in” for a tune off his most recent record, Photographs of 1971 (hint: buy it). From hearing the new tunes, sooooo many of you have been clamoring for a copy of Ooh La La, Sha Sha… which is as yet unavailable. Let me say this as a teaser: something off this record will become available soon. The form and location of this music is undetermined, but we will put something in your hands, believe me.

And Portsmouth, NH: oh how we love thee! Let me count the ways. Can’t wait to get back to the Red Door. See you soon, I hope.

For those of you that braved the rain and cut countless costumed celebrations in favor of getting down mf style: you win. We concede victory.

Many highlights from the weekend, but allow me to relate one in particular:

washing my mouth out with soap

Maybe my language has been particularly foul or something, because I felt some serious(ly funny) karma on the way to Boulder. Daddy Wrall, Samuel P. Nice and myself stopped at a truckstop to use the payphone when I decided to brush my teeth. I went into the bathroom and saw these odd-looking push button faucets that would only dispense a small amount of water at a time. Wrall watched as I wet my toothbrush and proceded to begin brushing.

the strong that was

Okay people,

I know how much you’ve been anticipating this post so let’s get on with it. Thanks as always to everybody that made this recent strong possible. And on strongs-

We’ve decided that referring to our four and five day “weekends,” which might start on a Wednesday or end on a Tuesday, and during which we might work fifty or so hours, not as “weekends,” but as “strongs.” The work week will still be known as the week or if you prefer, the “weak.”

And now the shout-outs/crap outs:

Say turd: late flights and squeaky breaks. Sawy word: great nights and triple eight.

Say turd: back pain and crazy violence on the “worst day.” Say word: happy gains and kareoke on DW’s birthday.

Say turd: way to go leavin’ ‘fore you’re sure, see? Say word: Dilego, Ziman and Moorthy

Say turd: cops with lame excuses ruining the fun Say word: topping thangs off with fluting a bun

Say turd: Chills, shivers; we’re all sick some. Say word: Bill Withers and Al’s kickdrum

We love you all,

The Great Dunlap (emphasis on LAP), SamueL P. Nice (emphasis on MNO) and Daddy Wrall (emphasis on 2-5).
