I almost forgot RG and I are seeing Jackson Brown in South Lake Tahoe with H-dog & E in two weeks, don't even get me started on the price of rooms...

He’s playing in Redding too at about the same time. I’m not a Jackson Browne fan though.

RG and I love the 70's and they asked so what the heck...

Not to mention I need a doctor to check out my eyes...

^^I’m reading the new biography about Warren Zevon (who I am a fan of) called “Nothing’s Bad Luck”. Jackson Browne figures prominently in his story being involved with the production of some of his early albums and being a close friend.

I never knew that, maybe I can ask him about it this weekend...

Just Announced

Alice Cooper is bringing the Ol’ Black Eyes Is Back tour to Australia & New Zealand!

February 2020 to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, th' hell hole that is Auckland and Christchurch.

Hotel's booked, internet roulette for the tickets tomorrow, giving me around 14 hours to decide on my level of investment, ie doing the in$anity package again or not.

The accountant will never understand.....

^^Maybe go to Christchurch this time for varieties sake?

I'm toying with the idea of maybe doing, both KU.....
I'm already working on my "you can't take it with you" speech

Christchurch geographically for me is either a one hour flight or the preferred, three and a half hour sea voyage across Cook Strait and down through the majestic Marlborough Sounds, followed by a scenic four and a half hour drive along the picturesque east coast of the South Island.....

Jesus Christchurch that's a trip...

I was going to suggest he go to Melbourne or Sydney as my teeny tiny American mind thinks New Zealand is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Then I looked at a map.

As I remember though, GG’s trips to the hellhole that is Auckland is quite an undertaking as well.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE... THIS IS... I JUST... OH MY MY MY... HOLY FUCKING... THANK JESUS... THANK MARY... THANK GOD... GOOD GOD!!!!1@$%



the san fran show.

thanks! it all seems so surreal.
like a wet dream that has recurred after 20 long dry years.



yeah, we couldn't get tickets on presale or the day of sale,
and we were sitting on the clock, making attempts with multiple devices.
in fact, we ended up paying more than the ticket price, but that is just fine.
ya gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette, ya know?

Wow!

Kinda far off in the future but hopefully I can attend this Zappa show presented by the Chico State School of the Arts in April. https://www.csuchico.edu/soa/press-rele ... jazz.shtml

Hang in there KU.....that's only around 210 days away.....

my tickets arrived today for Alice Cooper that's a mere 166 days down the track.....

my schedule to date: Fleetwood Mac September the 19th.....
11 measly days to marshal the troops for that road trip

Metallica: November the 2nd.

leaving thhti Auckland City on the 3rd to return on the 7th for

U2: November the 8th.

Alice Cooper: February the 20th, 2020.


A number of negotiations are underway to see if, as a team we can sync 'n' clear our schedules,
so that instead of driving the roughly 650k's (403miles) back too Wellington after
Operation Metallica, then a déjà vu drive, albeit via a different route, back to
thhti Auckland three days later for Operation U2, we could head further up North
onto the Coromandel Peninsula and or over to The Bay of Islands, a region known locally
as the winterless North and seasonally it'll be right on the cusp between spring and summer,
which is a great time to travel plus we all know folks in these areas to visit for a wide variety of
sometimes frightening far North adventures.....
working on the sales pitch, I've only got 56 day to make it happen

Seen: Adrian Belew, Fishbone, Todd Rundgren, Pelican/Cloakroom/Alms/The Holy Circle, Herbie Hancock/Kamasi Washington, The Flaming Lips/The Claypool Lennon Delirium, King Crimson
Planned: DZ, Black Moth Super Rainbow/Taraka Larson, Buddy Guy
