The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Its scorchy around here. Like back of your knees and ass sweat hot. Thank the lord for AC.

Went out to a SHOW the other night. Can't remember the last time I did that on purpose. Pit er Pat played. They are amazing. Aaaaannnd they rap.

And Matteah Baim. She is so delicate and quiet and mellow that it just makes the rest of us seem brash.

Then a few days later, The Muppet Movie at the Hollywood Cemetary
P7250021

Champers and KFC.
P7250022
Sarah so happy.
P7250018

I had a little chicken and I am downright ashamed to say it was fucking good. But then it made me feel dirty and greasy on the inside. That will learn me.

P7250033

P7250035

It really is a beautiful place. I didnt look for any famous people in there though. This is around the time in the night when you realize you are surrounded by dead bodies and it gets spooky for a minute.
P7250025

But then this happens and its all ok.
P7250070

P7250067

P7250078

The guy who introduced the movie said that The Muppets in his opinion were "the most important people in the United States today". Cant argue with that.

Then Sunday with LJ!
P7260088
Seriously. She is like professionally cute.
P7260089

P7260085

She is in a very kissy phase. She kisses legs and ankles. And also likes to take the credit cards out of my sister's wallet and kiss those. She also likes to lay on your extended leg when you sit on the ground. Like a wee possum.

I think that was my first weekend in LA in awhile. I forgot what those can be like!

Jiggity-Jog

Came home from two weeks on tour to an apartment with no electricity. I pay my bill I swear. It was just a little mix up. Lovely.

I told Phil today that I already miss being on tour and he told me it was just Stockholm Syndrome.

This is Reno. He is the hardest working man in show business.

Life under the Big Top
P7170009

Kate made us cupcakes that looked like little hamburgers
P7180016

P7180018

On the last day of tour we had the most epic of epic wiffle ball games. Demy sang the National Anthem
P7190029

Nailed it!
P7190027

Ben and Nick were team captains and competitiveness was in the air. As was massive amounts of shit talking.
P7190031

P7190032

Thats our MVP there on the right
P7190030

My team lost but only because the other team cheated!

We all made up over traditional after-game treats
P7190034

P7190033

It was a really great tour and I really am going to miss (most) of the folks I was on the road with. AWWWWWWWW

If you love me, I shouldn't ask why

Werd. Not as many posties on this tour. Started the week in Salt Lake City. Doesn't this look like the perfect place to have a rock show?
P7130033

P7130049

The band played in an ampitheater in the middle of a botanical gardens. It was lovely but there were no showers.

Then to Red Rocks where I didnt take a single god damned picture of the place. Except for this little guy. This is Spike. He has all access.

P7140053

P7140055

He is a Blue Heeler and pretty much the greatest dog ever. I gave him some turkey so he was my buddy all day long.

Just watch this if you want to know what Red Rocks is like.

Then to Vancouver. I loved it. I fell victim to another impossibly comfortable terry cloth robe which unfortunately hindered my exploration of the city. The view from my hotel


P7150089

P7150090

I was on the 21st floor and thought it odd that my window opened all the way. Demy told me its because everyone is happy in Canada so there arent a lot of people hatching plans to jump out of hotel room windows to their deaths.

Back in the US of A now where everyone is depressed.

Zeitgeist Artist Management, the next generation
P7100032
Levin could be Dave Attel's stunt double. PS, his new nickname is sippy cup (good one Will)
P7100037
Probably talking about baseball
P7100044
Matt Ginnard took these next few. I told him I would give him a photo credit. Don't I look pissy and goth? (same thing?)
P7100051
P7100058
P7100050
Carnivorous
P7100057
And 'Casablanca' too
P7100065
One of the servers kept calling me "miss" instead of "ma'am" so I took his photo and told him he was great.
P7100049
Look Justin, you made it on the blog! Should I be concerned that my hand has turned into some sort of claw?
P7100063
Not sure why Al is so sad in this photo. Perhaps his hair cut?
P7100068
It was a fun night and very nice to hang out with 20 dudes.
