Hey all!
thanks for your support and patience with me... Its been a lot harder
posting in a timely fashion , and I'm gonna have to relent and get an Ibook or something
soon....anyways...the shows have been going GREAT , capacity audiences at both clubs and colleges,
everybody really glad to see us everywhere. The tour hasn't come without its bumps, most notably censorship
issues at UNC-Asheville and a particularly crazy combination of that and a conflict with a frighteningly reactionary and misogynist
faculty member at William and Mary who managed to get the show DE-FUNDED, after which the students org hosting us did
two fundraisers and got the show back on track. BIG UPS and kudos to the amazing groups of students we met at both schools
who worked so hard to make sure the shows happened.
In earlier craziness, we had some great times in Atlanta and Huntsville as well. Huntsville, to my surprise, was the most rabid happy
crazy excited audience I've EVER performed for, as a group or solo act...just nuts...and the Flying Monkey Arts folks made us feel hella at home
by breaking out the crazy full course country dinner spread , sweet tea and THREE kinds of moonshine,
plus -jyeah_BANANA PUDDING!!!
Just badass, I say.
and on the crazy tip, copy and paste this link to the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Faamily Association's
website, complaing about our Swarthmore College and Bucknell U. Shows:
