Where have I been?
- South of the 45th Parallel.
- Eating hot dogs with racecar driver Ed and his partner Nancy at a rest stop
- Safe and sound in Eugene ensconsed with Andra and Sandra and Jana! who are awesome for putting me up and up with me. Thanks so much! ^_^
- Redmond, Oregon, which had an obelisk and also high winds cancelling the event I was playing! After I got there, just before my showtime. Everybody left. But a bunch of kids came out to play in the amphitheatre fountain, so I thought, “Y’know what? The amphitheatre isn’t leaving due to wind, and these kids aren’t either, so neither am I.” And I played a free gig for a big ol’ gaggle of children, who came up after and gave me their pennies, and I gave them stickers, and we all had a good time. Take that, wind!
- Nomming Mexican food in the Oregon high desert town of Burns, with Fred! Yay! Thanks, Fred! More people should go visit Fred in Burns. He’s an archeologist!
- Glass Butte, which pretty much just handed me obsidian. Glass Butte does not lie. Also, there are elk.
- Being ambushed by a river spirit. Or possibly wind. But I prefer the former.
- Government Camp Lift and Mt. Hood, with chipmunks.
- Through the remnants of Highway 99 in northern Oregon, along with a bunch of other old, twisty roads, the best kinds.
Where’m I now?
- Back in Kenmore, Washington, tired but happy, for SEKRIT MEETINGS (disclaimer: not actually sekrit) and a Juanita Bay gig at 5pm on Friday.
More on that tomorrow. Now, I sleep.
