Apropos of, well… tomorrow is Sept 11. I drew this a long time ago, about the time our military forces invaded Iraq. Think I did it with a wacom tablet, and photoshop, in 2003.
apropos of nothing, here’s a picture of a vaudeville dancer. from my old ipaq.

June was crap.
You guys may have dug it… but for me, was just a lousy month overall. Crap at work, crap creatively… ran out of stories, ran out of time, ran out of energy. Got mopey. The blues come and blowed my spirit away.
But now it’s July. And July is looking up.
The Hellbusters played 3rd annual Burning Girl party out near Yerington on the Walker River and it was super awesome. Met a lot of new friends. About twice as many people as last year, maybe even 3x as many. People even showed up via helicopter! We played a strong set (I thought) at Burning Girl, sold some CDs, got invited to do some media and other apperances later this year which was really gratifying. I also got to play some songs with my friends T-Wrex and the Primitive Rhythm from SF on Sunday. We burned the girl Sunday night. We floated in the river. We ate lots of food and drank lots of sodas. We had only one sunburn casualty. We made it back across the washerboard dirt road back to the highway, and to Reno, despite the right side mirror on the tour bus nearly falling off.
And now, it’s off to Blackhawk Solar Cook-Off at Taylorsville. We only get a 25 minute set on Saturday 7/10… not sure why. But it’s okay, I’d take a one-song set, the event is THAT much fun for us.
And then back to the other reality, which may or may not slide back into June-ness. But I hope not. Forward. Always forward. Like St. Joe Strummer said: “The future is unwritten.”
Or as the great HST said: “We can’t stop here, this is bat country.”
No new spoken word story this week.
Not that many of you were listening anyway; however I wanted to let the three or four regulars know. I will post something soon.
