Making the Dream Real

Mark yr calendars (well, I'd better mark mine, anyway): Friday, October 16th. I've joked about it on more than one occasion (and/or provided various dream permutations), but pending signing of contracts and exchanging of dollars, it's actually gonna happen: Mike Roe -- he of the 77s  -- will be playing at "The Church at Lake Loveland" (i.e., our house).

And no, Patti Smith and The Scattered Pages won't be there, but I AM trying to get in touch with another certain smokin' guitarist and songwriter from Colorado to see if he might consider taking a long bus ride to provide the opening set. That'd be remarkably cool in and of itself. (And if so, I just realized that I'd uttered a prophetic word about it here.)

That's going to be one very interesting week, in fact. Marion & I are going to be off on retreat through the beginning of that week, then come back and do THIS.  Pictures (and hopefully soundboard recordings) when they become available (and hopefully for both sets).

And in other news THIS week, we celebrate Marion's 50th birthday. hoo-hah, she says.

Next time: I hopefully finally finish processing the Dave Bazan album, I may even tell you what I think of the new Yo La Tengo... and heck, since Mike's coming to my house anyway, maybe I oughta check out his new album....

Greetings from a random-visit to your website, - Nice post,  burning light! - Today's random-joke: "Mummy, - why do people have to die? If God could keep the ones he has now, he would not have to make new ones all the time!"

Simmons! As per our phone call (and the fact that you HATE phones does not escape me) i will be happy to play the Church at Lake Loveland. Somewhere Muglia thinks: "There's a .... disturbance in the force."

Seriously, though, thank you and great Ian Hunter review btw. Made another old man smile.

viva la pants,

Yo Carl,

RIP Jim Carroll. One classic book, one real
good album, one truly great song. Also the
best cover we ever did.

"They were all my friends, and they died!"

Thanks for forwarding the news,

Rick
