Back From The Brink
So I guess it took arriving at the Phoenix airport 4 hours early to get me to do an update on this thing. Since the move-in to the NYC apt. I spent 10 days there getting settled and then headed off to do another tour. This time I'm with Albert for a couple weeks then going to Ween for a couple weeks. The Albert stuff so far has been fun. The shows have almost all been great and I'm really having fun mixing the band. We did a TV appearance on the Craig Ferguson Show (I know, nobody knows who he is). The fun part is that it's shot at CBS "Television City" which is also where The Price Is Right is shot. We got to run around and see all the games and take pictures and stuff. After the show was done we went into the empty studio and got to take pictures at contestants row and the showcase showdown. Good times I tell you. The last time I was here I was with all Brits who have no idea how goddamned special this shit is. I mean, it's Plinko for christ's sake. On our way out I missed one of my all-time greatest photo-ops ever as I simultaneously met Bob Sagat and Henry Winkler. Yes. I shook hands with the Fonz. It was sweet.
Fonzie & the boys...
PLINKO!!
I WON THE SHOWDOWN!!!!
Shrine to Bob...
I bid one dollar Bob...
The Wheel...
For all the soap fans...
Now we're getting ready to fly to Mexico City which should be fun enough. We're down one essential member as Brian Dunn lost his mother yesterday and had to fly back to Glasgow. Not such good times. I feel terrible for him and hope to have him back soon, stinking up the back lounge with 1,000 cigarettes and sleeping in dressing rooms.
And just so Richard feels a pang of longing to be with us, I ate my first cheese & chip sandwich last night. On a shitty bagel. Hope you're enjoying your Pho Richie.
This is us at 6am in Phoenix...
Of course, this was where we were only a few days ago. Serenity now...

mmmmm...cheese and chip. I can still taste it. Chewy, dry desperation-in a stale bun.
Hey, were you at the San Diego show? I was begging for a set list, but no one handed one to me :(
