Well, we had this big party New Years at the Odditorium, and honestly I don’t remember much of it, for although I do not ever imbibe in alcoholic elixirs, I was experimenting with psychedelics (like they did in the 1960s), so my account of the evening is certainly flawed. I think everyone who attended had the greatest New Year in history. Ask them. I mean, how couldn’t they?
I mean, that’s pretty legendary.

Here’s a third video for “This Is The Tide” made by our friend Joe Kaczmarek, who you will remember from Rick Bain’s Genius Position all those years ago. Years? Decades?? Technicaly 1999 was three decades ago, right? Anyway…

Meanwhile, Peter’s Pete International Airport will be in Seattle Thursday performing in theFuzzy Ball shoegaze/psychedelic event at Neumos (21+/$10/info), and the following night in Portland at the Wonder Ballroom (21+/$10/info).
One more thing, here’s Peter on INTO THE WOODS.TV‘s Learning Curve explaining his pedals and how he gets the sound on Pete International Airport’s namesake song.

Last night’s show was pretty great. There’s no place like home. Probably a good thing that’s the end of the tour, because last night would be pretty hard to top. Wow, what a great crowd.
The Dandys want to thank all the great crowds who took planes and trains and busses and found parking and got baby sitters and worked an extra hour or two just to come see us in 2010. Hope you had a blast. It might be the most fun we’ve ever head. But I bet we have more fun in 2011. It’s always more and more fun. How does that even work??

Our gig last night was magic. If I had gotten more than seven hours of sleep I’d still be reading but I’m too tired to concentrate on one thing for more than a few minutes. Or pages.
This is a whodunnit about a three-million dollar wine heist. I’m in heaven. It also happens to be written by my favorite kind of modern writer: a wit who can keep out of his own way.
Check out this cool, um,”art” installation on the U.S./Canadian border. (Click to enlarge.)
