Since I'm on the road and currently posting from Iowa, Dan Burn's song "Black Tornado" keeps running through my head about driving through fields in West Des Moines. Sioux Falls was a complete trip last night. Friends of Kyle Vincent filled the Black Sheep Coffee House and treated me to a lovely welcome. Many CDs were sold and I left feeling wonderfully fulfilled. I hope to return this December. My hotel room neighbors were a bit...uhm...amorous? last night. Made for interesting TV. I was trying to watch "Friends" to the soundtrack of a very loud porno film. *smile* I just love my life. Laptop in hand, I'm camped out at Java Joes drinking dangerously addictive coffee and catching up on emails and business before my show this evening at 9:30pm. Last time I played here we had a crowd of about 300. Since the bar was packed to capacity in April, I'm pretty sure we'll have a bit more of an intimate gathering this time around, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it'll be just as fun for all parties. I head back to the Twin Cities tomorrow to check in with my puppy and then get right back in the car for St. Cloud. I haven't played there since my show with Rachel Gaudry 2 years ago. I'm looking forward to it, especially because Chadly's tagging along to bang the drums and make glorious music. Mr. manager will be knee deep in Big & Rich/Tim McGraw at the Xcel Center. I'm a little jealous. Plus, I missed Melissa Ethridge last night in the Twin Cities, but supposedly I have a back stage pass/trinket waiting for me at home as a small consolation.
