At the corner of awake and dreaming

Can I just say that I'm finally getting excited about the holidays?

I've got an exciting possibility for a headliner for our Victorian Christmas show...not gonna say much more till it's confirmed...but...man...I'm excited.

We're playing a cool show this weekend...and as usual it's a birthday show. Now, I have to get the world's best cheesecake.

A few other things that are making me happy this week:

1. Remembering that there's a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Tallahassee that I've never seen. Know what I'm doing Sunday.

2. Getting to see VOL on November 20.

3. Playing Simulacra on Saturday nite.

4. The possibility of Moss going to FSU.

5. The fact that I have 5 different kinds of cereal on top of my fridge to choose from.


Speaking of VOL...here's your VOL lyric of the day:

I can make you promises, but don't expect too much. I can run the distance...if you'll please excuse my crutch.

Still looking for a costume idea...would like to go as David Byrne...but...where am I gonna get a big suit?

AND YOU MAY ASK YOURSELF...

Seth and I will be playing an experimental noise-rock/techno show this weekend...and I'm actually excited...cause we're playing Simulacra...and I forgot how much fun that song is to play. I consider it somewhat of an accomplishment that I learned Moss's solo (mostly)...cause he's a way better guitarist than myself.

I have to come up with a costume idea before Saturday...old standby of course is a member of the band Europe (Example), but...I'm afraid the leather pants don't fit so well these days. Any other ideas?

In other news...I've got this new obsession with trying to see the inside of every building in downtown Thomasville. If you think about it...you've probably maybe been in like a third of them. If you didn't know about it, you would never know that The Sub exsisted...to 99.9% of the people in town, it's just another empty storefront with blacked out windows. There's plenty of those downtown...so...what's in them? How many other "Subs" are there downtown? I'm gonna find out. I've started walking a few laps around downtown every evening after dinner. You'd be surprised at how many doors are left unlocked...and how many buildings have something going on inside them...even though they appear closed. I'll start reporting on my findings soon.

Since I have a tendency to put pics in my blog...here's your moment of zen...





Anyone wanna goto Norway?

Weekend Travels

So, after a great Friday nite containing the following:

Laura Fletcher
The Corduroy Road
Bill Mallonee
Pita Pit
The Star Spangled Banner

I started my Saturday with IHOP...and took the long way home.

This particular long way involved an accidental trip to Juliette, GA.

If you've never heard of Juliette...they made a film called "Fried Green Tomatoes" there. I just happened upon the little town in the middle of their annual Green Tomato Festival. Got a few pics:



















After a nice, long drive home, I made it just in time to carve up some pumpkins. As you can see, we had a political pumpkin this year.


















There will be Halloween music at The Sub this coming Saturday nite starring Patrick Morales, Seth Golden, myself, and a possible special guest.

An addition to the post below about giving up:

So, if sweat pants are the signs of giving up...what about scrubs? Is that the same thing? At least scrubs have pockets...Grady Ann and I were discussing this and decided that at least with scrubs, you can look official while giving up.

That's all I got.
