Oops.

Man,

I forgot to tell you about
opening for Blues Traveller.

It was very cool.

Mind you,
we were the opening, opening act,
so the place wasn't full yet.

But we weren't the opening opening opening act,
that was a guy named Franc, he was cool,
and he was sponsored by Jagermeister.

We opened opened,
and we had fun, fun.

We met some new friends friends,
and during Blues Traveller's set,
John Popper gave us a shout-out shout-out shout-out.

That's right,
three separate shout-outs.

One time he said,
"Nice Peter wasn't just nice, he was fucking awesome!"

Boy, did I fall in love with a fat guy that night.

He's not even a fat guy any more,
he's lost a lot of weight, he looks very sexy and trim.

Mr. Popper really impressed me
with how cool he was to the crowd,

I thought I was going to feel some bitterness,
like,
"Man, I used to have two videos on MTv,
and now I'm playing on a backporch stage
in columbus, OH for 2,000 people and its raining."

But no,
he was truly appreciative of the crowd,
of the chance to play, of life in general.

He was very gracious with the audience,
when a woman threw a bra at his head,
he stretched it over his trademark Fedora
and wore it for the rest of the show.

Brilliant.

I wish someone would throw
a bra at my Fedora.

I can't really wear a Fedora, though,
it makes me look like a little kid
in a halloween costume.

We're going back to Columbus tonight,
long drive, but its a cool town.

Friday I'm going to play on Q101 in Chicago.
around 4 pm, I think.

Saturday we have the big Chicago show.

Sunday I sleep.

Monday, also sleep,
probably smoke a little pot.

Tuesday, sleep, pot, coffee.

Wednesday we hit the road again.
Check out the tour page,
we've got lots of new shows.

much love,

-p
