Austin: SXSW

Topic: Austin: SXSW

We arrived at the hotel around 8pm.

Cindy Cashdollar suggested Evita's Botanita Restaurant for supper, and
it was good! It's not Tex-Mex; rather, it's real Mexican, which is
quite different.

After dinner, we passed by Bill Giebitz's house to drop off 2 of my
guitars. He said he'd have them done fairly quickly, so I'll drop off
the dreadnaught tomorrow.

I Twittered the entire way here, and I'm still try to figure it out.
I got Facebook with no problem, and I did overcome the problems with
Blogging. I'm just not sure what the hell Twitter is. I've been
Tweeting left and right; I just haven't figured out what can be done
with it.

Oh, well, I'm tired. I'm glad we came in the night before. I'm sure
we would have been extremely tired if we had done the trip in one day.

Hard day

The Ark gig went well. Good crowd & merch sales. We passed by Elderly Instruments in Lansing on the way to Grand Rapids. Then we hit the road, arriving at the hotel at 3:30. We left for a radio interview/performance at 4:15 at WYCE. After doing 2 songs, we went to the venue, the Ladies Literary Club. Nice place, nice renovation. The last time we played there was April 19, 1997. Packing for the flight to MSP.

The Art Center, Carrboro, NC

Date: August 9, 2009 11:28 AM Topic: The Art Center, Carrboro, NC It was another trip to the Art Center in Carrboro. It's always been a good venue for the group, and this time was no different. Lots of tickets were sold and I think the show was close to a sell out. Instead of playing two sets, which would have increased our merchandise sales, we opted for one long set, one very long set, 2 hours worth. Sometimes I think making decisions like playing a long set isn't always a good idea. It's hard to perform that long, but I do know that it's sets like that which go into the record books. I don't think anyone had a bad time. I do think we wore out the audience, however.

Date: February 17, 2009 8:29 AM Topic: Februrary 17, 2009: Back to Work today Today we're doing a set on Acoustic Cafe, taped at Big Sky studios here in Ann Arbor. Tonight we got the Ark, a place we've been playing at since 1982 or 83. The tour is starting up big time, as we'll be playing more. So 1 down, 13 to go.
