Here are some low res shots of the gig!

How's that for customer service? I just got a curtesy phone call from the airline reminding me that I am scheduled to fly with them tomorrow.
I like that sort of thing.

Fucking. Wired. On. Coffee!

I am watching Paradise Lost (the documentary film on the West Memphis 3) for the first time in about five years, and I am absolutely astounded that there are still places in the world where people are so blindly devoted to hokey religious beliefs.

C'mon people, there's nothing in religion that science can't (or won't be able to) explain, so stop...

A portrait of my mum from a photo from a few years before I was born, while she was modelling. *if* I am remembering it properly,...

Cemetery gig may be back on my agenda after all.

This not knowing what is going on thing is just plain confusing!

Ever get that 'OMG EXCITED!!' feeling that is underscored with doubt that the expectations will not come through?

I've got that right now.

Only because people, in general, are incredibly unreliable.

But that isn't going to stop me from being optimistic.

I'm listening to the album Jimmy Page did with The Black Crows.
I don't like it. The Black Crows singer murders Robert Plant's vocals....
