Dallas ,Texas ; Big D , House O Blues , The Hip are in full effect as we write ... Ahead By a Century , which must be about cricket . Fitting that , Buddy .
Not a bad set from the JPE , rife with technical foul ups and some agression ensueing . Joel is off to Halifax before dawn and we'll see him in New York . The monkeys head out early and first stop may be Nashville . Good oppo to pick up a Nudies . At least a cufflink .
Travelling from Austin to Dallas we made sure to stop again at UP IN SMOKE for brunch . Authentic heart bustin' Bar B Q . Spicy please . Hall of fame included Earnest Tubb and Joe Perry . But the best thing was the arrival of the Boozefighters MC . All decked out in colours and roarin' hogs . Great patches . Funny how outlaws always have style . Some of the ladies had patches with names like Snowy Flakes and Lady Trouble . Pics will arrive . Very surreptitious pics .
Fireworks is tearing the crowd to pieces .Heard there may be some Dallas Stars here . I wish Dallas Good was here . All the Sadies , especially Jeets . Uh oh , Hundreth Meridian , the fists are pumping and hockey jerseys swaying . Strange mix , The Hip Nation , beeer league hockey and literary at the same time . It's got dimension .
How about them Red Sox ? And who the hell let's Joe Torre go ?
I'm off to find Dealy plaza .
ps Go Habs Go

Sparky,

Joel's gig at the church was hot and cool. Packed. Wound up at the Tiki with Small Sins (including Hilliard, of course), Tom Fun Orchestra, Carmen Townsend, Gordie Sampson and a whack of other nutters. Good times, good times.

World series starts tomorrow and I've gotta say I'm pulling for the upstart Rockies. Can't shake my Blue Jays' Red Sox hatred.

Break a leg in the Big Apple. Doesn't look like Jesse will be able to make the Philly show, sadly...

One of my favorite songs of all time is North Dakota circa 1997. Do you guys play any old Joel songs on the tour. Looking forward to Landmark Theatre on Nov 1st.

The band has been known to dust off a few relics . Oh My Soul , BOTFilm . The closest you may get on this round is the ' new ' Snowed In .

Boozefighter... just one word.
And they're not an outlaw club... just a drinking club with a motorcycle problem.
And the patch on this lady's vest reads MOM
