On My Way

Well, I'm all packed and ready to go to the great state of Idaho. My flight leaves in a few hours and then I'm actually doing my first set tonight at 8 p.m. Going to be a bit of a whirlwind day for me...I just need to make sure that I'm protecting the golden pipes on the plane. That recirculated air can kill your throat faster than strychnine!
I'm still a little concerned about how I'm going to spend my time in America's Paris, but I'm sure I'll find something to get excited about. All I've been able to gather is that there's a lot of fishing...and I'm sure if the weather is anything like the gorgeous blue skies we had around the Windy City yesterday that there'll be plenty of people out on the water. Not sure that it's quite bikini weather -- and I'm sure that Idaho isn't really along the lines of South Beach or Cabo San Lucas -- but one can hope anyway. 
I should probably sign off since the shuttle should be here any minute, but I have been assured that I will have access to a computer once I'm out West and I will do my best to provide some information on how things are going in potato country.

Looking UP!

I know, I know, I know...I've been neglecting this too much. Truth is that I've been spending a little too much time down at the Tick Tock Club. My apologies to both my loyal fans and to my liver. And a special tip of the cap to Mike down at the Tick Tock, who's martini's are so dry they should come with a camel.
I have been snapped out of my Lost Weekend by a phone call from my agent Saul, who finally managed to book something of substance for me. If you think you're shocked just think of me! I almost fainted with the phone in my hand. Late next week, I will be heading out to Idaho to do a week of shows at the Bear Lake Lounge. I don't really know much about it -- other than there's a lake nearby, but I'm sure that I'll have a good time entertaining the Idahoans there.
I'll post more information here when I have it and hopefully, I'll be able to give an actual update when I'm out in the western territories.
