I have tasted Shawn Colvin's Fruit...

our cast and crew approach the gateway to the west...

and what sweet fruit it was. Sweet because it was free, fruit because it was an apple that she left behind in the venue we played a few days ago in Memphis. Everyone loves a free apple, especially if it is Shawn Colvin's reject apple. That was one of the more exciting events in the last week. I mean, other than losing a cast member, gaining a new cast member, learning that we're losing THAT cast member and looking forward to gaining yet another cast member by mid-week. Actually, it's been just fine...nothing some long drives and a case of PBR can't cure. In other news, today my roommate Tom and I discovered that we both take the time to smell the hotel shampoo while pooping. Today's scent is ginger-citrus and I must say it is my favorite so far. Soooo, now we are in Normal, Illinois. We have just left St. Louis - which was also my favorite so far, though I didn't decide that while pooping. If I think of anything else while pooping I'll let you know. It's a Steak n' Shake Monday, so I'm off to rot my insides for dinner. Oh, and today our crew was drunk...and they didn't share. Over and out.

I ponder dangling over the city of St. Louis...
