9.50am and Shooter's on.
I have awoken in Atlanta, GA. It is 10 minutes to 10 in the morning and Basic Instinct is on the TV, that amazing bit where Mike Douglas turns up at that club wearing a jumper has just been on, brilliant! Genius! I'm not a big "so bad it's good" guy, although this and 'Roadhouse' with Patrick Swayze are amazingly entertaining pieces of crap. Especially the latter, Swayze as a Zen buddhist bouncer working rough Southern bars is particularly hilarious, Ben Gazarra is in it too. What more could you possibly want in a film?
After 10 hours on planes we arrived in Atlanta at 6pm'ish last night, it's cold here. We ate at a particularly classy joint called Ruby Tuesdays and drank some beer called Blue Moon. Anyway, some of the guys are watching 'Rocky Bilbaoa' and some are eating breakfast and I have to shower but only after i've seen Mick Douglas nearly being ice-picked to death, sexy death!
We play at the Earl tonight, more later.

Once when my wife and I were driving through Connecticut, we ate at a Ruby Tuesday's. There was a clipping that I took a photo of because it was so strange: it was reviewed in a local paper as if it were a unique local restaurant, and not something that you can find on every interstate exit and mall in America.
Every time I have travelled over the last few years, Road House seems to pop up on tv when I'm in a hotel. Creepy (but funny, oh so very funny).
ahaha, my brother were watching Rocky IV today at mid-day
anyway, WISH YOU GOOD LUCK in all of your shows, guys!!
Hugs from a country where a lot of people wait for you, Argentina!
Southington, Ezra? I used to drive through that bit every day for over a year on my way to work. Small world.
Looking forward to the show here in Atlanta! See y'all tonight.
This past August I was visiting my ancestral homeland (Scotland) for the very first time. I did see a couple of interesting films at the Edinburgh Int'l. Film Festival, and wandered the streets of the city in a jet-lagged haze (from flying all through the west-to-east night over the Atlantic from Newark, NJ, USA) knowing the FringeFest was happening all over town and we were just too overwhelmed to book any act at any venue. But nothing was worse than missing your show there when I read about it the day after it happened! Nothing was worse, not even the extensive body damage (only a flesh wound to the outer coat of paint on the driver's, I mean passengers side) (that, too was part of the problem, I suppose, opoosite side driver's seat and opposote side o' th road driving) to the rental car from not realising how narrow your roadways are en route to the Isle of Skye. So I vowed to myself not to miss your show when you next came to the States. Now here you are, and I've even bouight tix for the Northampton, Mass. show, but alas, cannot go! That venue's an hour-and-a-half drive north of me. I waited too long to get tix for the Warsaw show in Brooklyn, N.Y. (sold out!) That would have been a 4.5 hour drive to get to. Woe is me. Wish I could be there at some nearby show, but, if not, I wish you all the best in our little country, the dying empire and last of the superpowers, temporarily under the rule of a son-of-a-Bush. Thank you all for making the long journey here. Cheers!
Road House - what a classic.
Kelly Lynch at the top of her game, if you ask me. Yeah, Drugstore Cowboy has more street cred, but it's Road House that really showed her versatility.
Roadhouse is hilarious... but even MORE hilarious was an off-off Broadway adaptation featuring Taimak [of "The Last Dragon" fame] as Patrick Swayze's character. Seriously.
Esto viene de Chile, Latinoamérica.
Un grupo de gente, equivodada según el parecer de muchos aún espera vuestras visitas.
No solo ustedes, sino otros provenientes de la Escocia.
Son muchos músicos, muchos instrumentos, muchos kilometros, muchos dolares y euros; pero en suma no superan las esperanzas y gan de verlos por acá.
Un abrazo, no conozco otra forma mejor de expresar mi afecto.
Desde Chile, el fin del mundo, Carlos.
