A cool place

Last night I got to play in one of the coolest spaces I've ever seen. It is an art supply store (I bought myself a book on how to draw dogs) in Eau Claire, WI that's set up almost as a warehouse with cement floors and has a cool storefront window. I played in the front, a bunch of the displays were pushed back, and that's how we set up the stage. It was very cool.

Unfortunately the crowd was a little low in numbers, but we had a good time anyway. I played a bunch of songs, and got to spend some time talking and sharing the stories behind the songs, so I really enjoyed myself and hopefully everyone else did too!

Today I get the day off. Yay! And tomorrow's the big day in Green Bay. I'm really looking forward to the grand finale of my tour being in my hometown. It's pretty great to be back.

For those of you waiting for CD's - I've been promised that they're coming. It turns out that the slowness I was bummed about has spread a bit, needless to say I won't work with this company again, but please don't worry, I will get your CD's to you as soon as possible, I promise! I'll enlist my entire family to help with addressing envelopes if I have to!

As this tour is drawing to a close, I need to thank so many people - I'll never be able to list all of the names, but man, oh man am I grateful to have had this opportunity. Thanks so much for making this possible by giving me places to stay, buying dinners, tanks of gas from time to time, and for coming to these shows and buying my new CD. I am so thankful, and I'll definitely be doing this again!! I've had way too much fun!

I've got some photos below. Enjoy!



Here I am playing at Dunn Brothers in St. Paul, MN. Look at all of my old friends! It was a lot of fun to see everyone again.



Here I am playing at Benny Ha Ha's Art Supply in Eau Claire, WI. Cool room. Next time I'll promote a little harder. :)

Last night in St. Paul

Well, again, I can't believe how much fun I'm having playing at different places and seeing so many different people. Last night in St. Paul I played at Dunn Brothers on Grand Avenue, and the turnout was great. (Thanks to all who came out!!)

I had a chance to catch up with friends from college and high school, and it was cool to hear all of the different things people are up to. This has been such a positive tour, not only because I've been selling so many CD's (which has been a pleasant number each night) but because I've gotten to meet so many people and to reconnect with so many old friends.

Today Gaby and I head to Eau Claire, WI for a special show at Benny Ha Ha's Art Supply, I think it's going to be pretty great, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of a venue it's going to turn out to be.

Thanks again to all of you who are staying in touch, writing me such kind e-mails, and calling to see how the trip has been going! I'm so grateful to you for thinking of me.

Take care, and I'll update you on tonight's show later!
