  1. He's gone. Joe died last night.

    I take comfort in knowing he's no longer in pain and suffering. My thoughts now turn to my sister. Our mom is flying down today to support her and help with the after. I'll fly down soon to help, too. Friends are reaching out to me that want to help and support but don't want to intrude in my sister's time of grief. This is going to be rough for her.

    Fuck you, Cancer!

    I wish I had a place to host these things.  I live in a suburb of Atlanta and a buddy was doing them for several year, but they recently moved back to Ft. Worth.  He would generally get about 50-60 at his house.  $20 a head, all went to the artists.  People brought food to share and drinks.  A couple of times, (Darden Smith, Jason and Courtney and Jimmy LaFave) he sold enough tickets to have the shows at a local church.  Darden even covered the cost of the rental of the church the last time he was through here.  

    Other artists he had at his house:  Kim Richey, Walt Wilkens, Sam Baker, Bob Livingston, Gretchen Peters, Jason Eady, Courtney Patton among others.    He usually did 5-6 shows a year.  

    @Nuge  With that location, you should check with Jeff Plankenhorn.   He spends a lot of time in SE Canada.  

     

    Jeff is playing at my friend's house in Detroit this Friday 5/17.

    Small world

  3. Got $25 tickets to The National w/ The War on Drugs and Lucius.  Also picked up two for Kings of Leon.  $25 all in is a great deal.

    Seeing Brainstory tonight.

    Gonna check on those Johnny Marr tickets

    Went down a bit of a soulhat rabbit earlier, and stumbled across this on their website:

    I was halfway planning to fly out to San Diego that weekend to see Cracker with an old roommate who also digs that band,  but now I dont know. The show isnt listed on the Antones website, so who knows. 

    I wish - I live in the Portland area (Vancouver, WA).  I'm also hosting a concert in my backyard that night.

    It is the fallout from the Toledo War with Ohio. Way back when Michigan was about to be admitted to the union, the border between Ohio and Michigan was not well defined, and there was a dispute between the states. Since you couldn't be admitting states with undefined borders, eventually the decision was to give the small strip of land near Toledo to Ohio, and as compensation, Michigan was given the UP. At the time, everyone thought the UP was worthless and so Michigan got the bad end of that deal, but then they realized that it was full of iron and copper.

     

    Thank you
