Cheeses Christ
Okay then, Minneapolis. That beer is called Surly Darkness and it’s made about three miles from the club we just played. Had a great show too.
Wisconsin……cheeses christ!
The cheese store is called Fromagination and wow is it spectacular. I’m having a bowl of red pepper/tomato soup into which I have had them grate some St Pauline capri.

GOTHMAN
Slate and Foam
Well it’s obvious that we’re in the last city on earth before Antarctica. You see how they can’t even afford whole cucumbers here? They have to just make do with cucumber foam. Like they have one for the whole island and they just pass it around and everyone gets to us a little of its essence. And you see that plate? It’s just a slate tile probably leftover from when they remodeled the fireplace or bathroom.
It’s a hard life here but you know what? It makes me respect these people even more.
When I drink bottled water I don’t really know what to look for so I just go for the name brand.

And we’re back…
Day 5.
This is my brave crew who are off to Tasmania with me now.
I happened to meet Gordon Ramsey’s head chef (Melbourne) and he’s meeting us at the Hobart restaurant he used to work at.
We may have to fight off Tasmanian devils and that crazy kind of bird that eats sheep and can break into cars, but if you look closely at each of these faces you’ll know that we will succeed. Each of us has stashed a 9 year old bottle of Bordeaux wine for this occasion so we’re fighting for more than just our lives here, we’re fighting for our religion.

Again Hotel Life Again
Day 1.
I call this one “again hotel life again”.
The two things that make this really mean something to me are the Grateful Dead shirt and the Star Wars pillowcase. I’ve carried that fucker around for years. Through airports. Across continents. It helps me sleep.
Then, of course, perfectly three – or more likely four (but definitely not five) – star stylings are a hugely repetitive part of my life too. Not only of my life but of all touring rock bands who are good enough to achieve international travel and accommodations paid for by the promoter.
Nice.
I think I’m going through a phase in my life right now where I’m really appreciating how cool all the little details are and not really sweating too much of the negative shit. If it persists til the end of this tour I’m pretty sure I will not be bummed…. But then again I’m pretty drunk right now.

To Die For
In Seattle at Bumbershoot. We’re playing at the foot of the Space Needle. I’ll see if someone will send me pics of us playing with it in the background.
Slightly more interesting though is the gaming conference which is happening in a pretty big way too. I loved these great looking hipsters, one photographing the other whilst he hugs the eye of the beholder.
Yes, thank you.
I’m also gonna tell you how much I’m digging on my framing what with the four sided and eight sided and twelve sided dice adding such depth and dimension. OH I didn’t just slip that in there too. I’m on a roll…..ok ouch. Sorry.

Quarrelsome Prostitutes
I found the text here not quite shocking but definitely surprising. This was taken a couple years after WWII in Marseilles.
CAPTION: “IN A PADDY WAGON quarrelsome prostitutes loudly protest against being bundled off to jail. Legal prostitution was abolished in France last year, thus creating an additional enforcement problem for the Marseilles police.”
