Day 1 of tour: I was on the road for 7 and a half hours for what should have been a 3 and a half hour drive thanks to memorial day traffic and then some. Here's the some - I'm taking the 80W exit from 287 S when suddenly I see horses galloping up and down the highway like oversized drunken puppets chased by rescue personnel. No, I hadn't blundered onto the set of some faux-Fellini film. Apparently a horse trailer had overturned and the horses, while spooked, were thankfully in relatively ok condition. Bad news was there was no way I was going to make it to the show. Between the memorial day traffic and this equine fiasco, it just wasn't going to happen. My apologies to the people of Bellefonte who were looking forward to the show. I'll make it up somehow. If not for Deb Talan and Fiona Apple, I might have lost my mind in the car. Even though I made time for delays and such I got to the gig at 9.47pm when I should have been there at 7.30. How fantastic is that for a first show? Yeah thanks, I try. Got there just in time to watch them close up. They were nice though. Told me they'd like to have me back in August. Hooray for awesome people. I've spent sixty bucks on tour so far and made zero dollars. Yay for Day One. I'm thinking it can only get better from here on in. Really looking forward to playing Traverse City. I'm outside Edinboro University right now gearing up for my next gig for an 11am lunch crowd tomorrow morning,after which i'll be heading down to Dayton, Ohio for a show tonight. So far, the road hasn't been as good to me as I'd prefer but hey, it's only Day One.
