sitting in chilly connecticut with too much coffee overload i'm typing miles a minute! having a fun time on tour so far, but got caught in a bit of a snow storm leaving Toronto last sunday.... continued all day in all forms of snow, slush, sleet, and rain all the way to Albany where Katie Haverly and I jammed on Court and Spark on the baby grand at the Larkin... fun!

Last night had a really fun time (as usual) in Waterbury CT. what a great community here... always love coming back. Sushi and irish beer... new music flooding my veins.. (check out Sigur Roz) ... heading to New Haven today.

# of times listened to John Mayer's record so far this tour: 4
# of times i wished i had a canadian flag on my car: many many times. why didn't i have more time before i left town??

overnout...

great gig in toronto last night... what an attentive crowd. On the way home, we decided that in our next lives, we will open a string of sushi restaurants... not because we are great sushi chefs, but because we have a running list of the uber names for sushi places:

1. National Sushi

2. Miracle Sushi

3. What the Sushi?

And my personal fave: "Hey Sushi-pants!"

Despite our hunger, no sushi places are open at 1:30 am in toronto, so we settled for some positively wretched chinese delivery... which we will never order again... bleh.

Bowling For Columbine is a movie that everyone needs to see. Amazing and thought provoking... I went surfing the movie website afterwards and did a good amount of reading there too... and I have officially sworn off shopping at Wal-mart until they stop carrying handgun ammunition.

People who know me and how I used to shop at Wal-mart a lot will be surprised. Quite surprised. Hey, when you're a broke musician, you go where you can afford to buy your toothpaste, bare necessities, cat litter. But my shopping list never included handgun ammo.... as I'm sure so many people who shop there never care about. Does Wal-mart need to sell it to survive? Hardly.... they censor lyrics in music, even refuse to carry some music (see Sheryl Crow's 2nd album) because of their "family values" but then across north america they sell ammunition that kills family members in our very own communities.

I figured... I'll miss shopping at Wal-mart... but not as much as I'd miss a family member who was killed as a result of ammunition sold there.

la la di dah... here i sit... writing songs about hockey (?) and faxing my ass off. faxing faxing... this is the weekend of an indie singer songwriter :)

who knows where the hockey thing came from... i turned on the tv and stumbled across "hockey night in canada" and suddenly "woosh".... hand me my guitar!
