Hey y’all!  We’re in Minneapolis about to head to Kansas City, I haven’t had a chance to blog until now.  I’m feeling pretty good thank god, yaayyyyy.  We had a great show in Madison at Mother Fool’s, I love that place.  They were so welcoming and the audience was so great, we felt right at home.  Last night at the Bryant Lake Bowl was fun too, though we didn’t draw enough people to make any money.  I think pretty much everybody there but maybe two people were there to see Eric, since he’s from here.  Lucky for me they all stuck around for my set — or maybe some left and I didn’t see them, and for that I’m glad.  The lights were REALLY harsh and bright, I couldn’t see jack out there!  That’s kind of a drag because as much as I like to pretend they’re not there and close my eyes while I play, in reality I do like to have at least some kind of rapport with the audience if I can.  Hard to do that if you can’t even see ‘em.  So anyway, tonight is K.C. and then it’s a straight shot down 35 to Austin.  Can’t wait to see my mom.  It’s so fun traveling with Eric, this is our first trip together.  I knew it would be fun, we get along so great.  :-) Okay, gotta run, we have a long drive today!!
