HELLO LOVES!!!
Greetings from a coffee shop in Woodstock, NY, where I'm cracking away in admin-land.....
Here is also something from last night to make you laugh.
I got covid-boosted yesterday (I gotta, it's TOUR TIME, and I was waaaay overdue)...

(and said...
You know something?
I sorta miss the good old 2020 days of posting shit like "I got a covid vaccine shot" and that being what people would yell at each other about all day.
Hey everybody I got a covid vaccine shot !!
*awaits crickets, possibility of comments telling me to get my head out of my ass and to focus on other issues*
I still don't want to get or give covid to anybody
*ducks*
Ciao for now)

...............

IF YOU HAVE ANY CREATIVE IDEAS, OR YOU RUN A MUSEUM/SPACE, OR HAVE A HUGE WAREHOUSE, OR RUN AN ART CHURCH....THIS IS THE TIME TO TELL ME!!
LET'S DO THE THING!!!
For inspiration....?

Send ideas in the comments! Really, all we really need is a ROOF. There's no need for a piano or a PA but that's a massive bonus.
Bonus if there's food, drinks, fun stuff to look at and/or do.
It NEEDS to be a place we can make noise!!!!!
BONUS IF KIDS AND DOGGOS ARE OK!!!
SEND IDEAS IN COMMENTS! I can PM you, or just chuck me your email.
Please know that Michael and I are buried in email so we cannot get back to every every person and Idea!
Here's where the venues are....just FYI:
.......................
PHILLY...
Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia, PA 19123
Nice lookin' venue! We've never played it, I'm excited!!!!
