Bus shakes us awake in Montreal. Parking won’t be easy today. The last day. Freezing. Well, probably not that bad but compared to Jet Skis a couple of weeks ago this is ridiculous. Mars and I do the wander of the town. It appears we are playing the rainbow district tonight; some odd christmas ornaments ...
It’s 3ish when we hit the border. They make us sit in a room for half an hour and search the bus, take passports, ask question. It’s all pretty harmless but its also late. We’re back on the road and into canada by 4ish. The last two dates ahead. Wander Toronto a little with Richard ...
Awakened by the sound of the engine stopping. Going on deck to see where we are. Ah, Pontiac, MI. Detroit if you’re not being picky. So the last US date. As the end draws near things are changing. Leaves. Minds. Pedals. Band relations. Some questions occur: How to re-establish contact with normality upon leaving the ...
Its late and the bus is rolling gently away from Columbus, OH en route to Pontiac, MI; the last of the US dates. Tonight was ridiculously loud but a ton of fun for me; everything went smooth and the stage was a good little intimate theatre stage. Usually carpet is not so good but the ...
Where i awoke., originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Boston started with some conflict between the powers that be. There’s been some of this already and its not pretty.

I love New York. I realised that once again on this trip. It’s an unbelieveably vibrant place. But its also crazy how you can never escape people. Claustrophobia is always a short pull away. I’ve become a space-aholic living where I live. I need to have peace and quiet and plenty of sky. I was ...
Day off in NYC, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. We bought $4 shades and day-glo socks. Had a great day in NY with my lady. Had great coffee breakfast at Cafe Reggio, ran into Mars and Knox Chandler (he’s going to rock some cello on PG tomorrow!) wandered the village, saw Charlie Parker’s ...

I need to catch up on this. Will endeavour today. Philadelphia today… I see a blue bridge, chinatown and a rather uncompromising, cranky, lack of sleep. Trocadero tonight.
I was trying to turn him in., originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. DC is a funny place. We are here early for load-in so Mars and I take a wander down the subway to take in the patriotic sights of the nation’s capitol. Washington, Lincoln, Obama, FBI. It was interesting and then a ...
