Tomorrow night is nothin' but net.

Hello Darlin',

I'm sitting in the kitchen of an old Victorian mansion in the North Hill neighborhood of Pensacola, FL. It's 6 in the morning, which for me is a tad early. But I couldn't sleep a wink. Ever your servant, I climbed out of bed to write you this: Me and Blinding Flashes of Light are all up in Boulder tomorow, Sunday night, Nov 9th at the Laughing Goat. We've been learning new songs like they're going outta style -- burning the candle at both ends for this new record. See, this gig I'm telling you about in Boulder tomorrow night is going to give us a chance to let our hair down and turn it up a notch. We're takin' it to the next level 'cause quality is our middle name. What I'm trying to say is, we're gonna bring it. In fact, it's already done broughten and it'll be nothin' but net. Opening the night is the beguiling Aimee Bobruk from Austin, TX. Texas is a ferociously proud nation state located to the south and east of us.

There is so much more to tell you, but I'm going back to bed now. I quite likely won't remember writing this to you when I wake up later today.

See you Sunday -- don't be afraid to bring a friend. For they will turn to you at least once during the night, reach out their hand, sweep it across the venue landscape and say, "For this, I am truly thankful. How can I ever repay you, Ernesto?"

A man, a plan, Panama,

John

Remember this show?
It was a drunken evening in December... December 23, 2006 at the Mercury Cafe, to be exact... Our first Tom Waits Rain Dogs show... Recorded by the Alan Lomax of our time: Lance Stack.
