Here’s how they deal with that pesky graffiti in SF. They screw in a protective sheet of plexiglass over it…. If it’s really really cool.
Check out this book of sheet music. I’ve seen this once before. I believe it was in Dublin maybe ten years ago.
Actually Fatty just told me he has one as well. Sweet. Maybe one day I’ll sit down and check that it’s all correct. Or even close.

Wikileaks: is everyone aware of what this really is? It’s a dream of what we all wish we are. It’s what we make movies about: a benevolent superpower.
They are saying “let us know, We can handle it” BUT THEN, when the money systems companies did what is wrong with “the system” like a tired cliche’, they said “NOPE”.
This is gorgeous X-men shit putting our Orwellian recent past in a full-nelson until it says uncle. Hysterical and I find it deeply comforting.

My tour manager told me we took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

I received this link from a couple friends who said they loved it. I haven’t read it because I don’t feel comfortable reading press, but go ahead. It’s Zia approved.
The Sound of Songwriting: With Courtney Taylor of the Dandy Warhols

Well the narrative doesn’t exactly cruise right along. By page 78 I found myself flipping through the rest of the book reading a page here and there. This guys writing style is fantastic but it constipates after a short while. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it.

As far as plots and stories go this one is just plain silly. But then again that’s not what it’s about. If you’re into food, France and French wine this is what might be called an elegant romp and it’s definitely for you.
I’m gonna read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao next. Just as soon as we’ve had our two-day break from tour.

Apparently this book was discovered as a complete manuscript after Crichton’s death in 2008. I didn’t even know he had died. Well the book is pretty damn fun. It’s got me through four flight delays and one cancellation, three van rides and a seaplane.
One thing though, it’s been a while since I watched Captain Horatio Hornblower but I kept thinking that this was the same story. Or was it Yellowbeard.

Well it looks like this is how we get to Vancouver. God this has been a weird tour….and we’ve been out for exactly one day.

I forgot to stop at Powells so this was kinda the only choice left to me from the PDX news stand. It has the word “pirate” in the title and right below it is the sentence: “Crichton’s ultimate adventure.” Ooh, that sounds great.
Well, seventy pages in I can tell you that it’s pretty goofy. It reads like a book for kids but with pummelings and daggery. This book also seems to have an abundance of wenching. Oh well, at least the swashbuckling is gonna commence any page now…
