Sometimes I go places.
I’ve been doing shows. Since last I updated, i think it’s been four, with a fifth tonight. A lot, whatever the number is. Des Moines, Atlanta, Orlando and Houston in…
I haven’t written a hotel review in awhile, so here’s one for you.
The Sheraton New Orleans hotel has fascinating elevators with no floor buttons, but air conditioners that don’t condition and all-flat-sheet bed construction.
Canada has no government, apparently.
There comes a time when the dirt under your fingernails becomes as much a part of you as the nail itself, and when you notice that’s become the case, it’s time for a shower.
The bus’ engine rumbles beneath them as they hurtle down the nighttime highway in search of another destination, another sold-out arena, another truck-tip, another load-in, another day in the life of a roadie.
Today starts the madness of doing the 2-in-a-rows. This morning was the last time I’ll fell well-rested for a week or so, which is going to wreak havoc on my…
So I’ve spent the last week in NYC and DC, a fact that’s kept me super busy. That’s awesome, because it means I’ve gotten to see a bunch of people…
It’s done. We’re going to Rome. And the flying is free. Lest I ever complain about working for a tour again, here’s what you can tell me: “You had to…
If the Brothers Wright could see what atrocities were being done to their work by the TSA and a willing public these days, they’d probably have kept flying to themselves.…
So, after ill-advised drinks in Brisbane last night, I slept my entire day away today, give or take. I mean, I walked about a little, but just sitting in the…
Boy, Howdy! Time flies when you’re living in the future! Has it really been forever, or just about that? Yes. Well, it’s been tiring, fun, and more than a little…
From the Unoriginal Title Department comes this, the latest installment of the unoriginal-titled epic series known as Clapboard. I’m leaving for Tokyo and points beyond, but I’ll be in touch…
Breaking the tradition of show-sleep-fly-eat-sleep-show-sleep-fly tradition a little bit, I went to see the big Jeezy on the top of the hill in Rio yesterday morning. The trip ended up…
Hello from Sao Paulo! Today’s my day off and I’m spending it not doing a damn thing. I’m burned out, A, and B, I have no idea what to do…
Hello again, this time from Lima, Peru! First time south of the Equator! Exciting! Drains spin backwards, the sun rises in the west and it’s springtime in late September. Okay…
Mexico City’s show was uneventful. We loaded in, I read a lot, then the show happened and we loaded out. Yesterday was an annoyingly full day of travel, as we…
Sitting in the 15-pass on the way here from the airport (here being the Presidente Intercontinental in Mexico City), I had all sorts of half-formed thoughts about wandering, about watching…
This is what it looks like from under the stage when I lift the little black fabric that covers the gap between the stage and the slightly-higher drum/guitar/bass riser under which I sit.
I wandered around London for a couple of hours today, crossing every bridge as I came to it (Tower, London, Southwark, Millennium), and also walked along the riverwalk quite a ways, too.
Here I am, back on Bon Jovi and back to not blogging. Silliness, I tell you, when I’m half a world away from home and trying to do new things…
We made it back from Hawaii! 2500 miles from mainland in the middle of the Pacific (and south of the Tropic of Cancer), Hawaii provided the backdrop of Drew’s Bachelor…
Yesterday, I was too harsh on the trip thus far, and I intend to correct that this morning. First of all, I was in New York. New York is one…
Over the last few days, I’ve been too busy to even check my email. I look at the sender, and even if it’s not spam, if I don’t have to…
What the hell, I can’t resist. Pros: Fitted Bottom Sheet Comfy reading chair Cons: A/C didn’t work mattress less comfy than average windows didn’t open no free WiFi Notes:Why is…
It’s occurred to me that I could do a pretty thorough series of hotel reviews while on this tour, and, while I’m not that interested in writing (or reading) reviews, I thought it might be a neat experiment to try it out at least once.
Well, here I am. I put my bike under the cover, I didn’t mow the lawn, and I set the sprinklers to go on occasionally, hopefully spurring the growth of…
