Music: Robert Randolph
Book: Pimsluer French III
Off to Des Moines in the middle of a glorious rain storm. Mr. Fiance will be up to his eyeballs with the Rolling Stones from tomorrow through Wednesday. My lovely Aunt Candy is flying in from Chicago to see the concert with me at the Xcel center on Tuesday. I could be one of four people excited about having blues legend Buddy Guy open for the Stones. Hurray for the blues. Stop down to Java Joes in Des Moines this evening for some solo acoustic music starting at 9:30pm if you can make it. I know you won't be out boating in the storm so come inside for some soup and music. *smile*Must run. Much love - Anne

Slacking
Music: Still Alison Krauss
Book: Damn, Why Didn't I Write That - Marc McCuthcheon
Reading books like mad. This is a week for concerts. I see Neil Diamond - yes you read right - on Wednesday, then Chadly and I head off to Iowa, my second musical home, for some Des Moines Music Shows and then it's the ROLLING STONES on Tuesday back in the Twin Cities. I should try and figure out a time to head to the Minnesota State Fair before it's over too. Hmmmm.
Hattie Peterson is coming out of musical hiding and doing a show this Friday. It's a living room show with Emm Gryner though so good luck finding a seat cushion. I'm sure it's sold out. My doggie was at the vet with severe itching and then red spots. Turns out it is just allergies. BAD allergies, but allergies none-the-less. Now she's doped up snoozing on the couch, but apprently sleeping soundly.

Still alive and kicking
Music: Alison Krause (sp?)
Book: Use the News - Maria Bartiromo
Haven't posted. Too busy. Sad excuse but the truth. I've been gobbling up investment and finance books like a camel at the water trough. Just figured it was something I should explore and be informed about. Love the knowledge. Booking shows for the fall but slow into winter - obviously - because of that whole getting-hitched-wedding-thing. I ate hords of mexican food for lunch so currently I can't move because I'm trying to digest 7 bowls of tortillas chips. It was ALL WORTH IT THOUGH! Now Mr. Fiancee and I will watch Mission Impossible I & II to pass the evening with the pets before he works the White Stripes show over the weekend. Maybe I'll finish writing a song or two... Hmmm...
Or golf...who knows. Bye for now.

Back from Mankato
Music: none
Book: none
Wicked hot this weekend. Mankato was interesting. After playing the Hag for over a year which is all ages, a 21 plus venue with smoking and drinking is simply a different deck of cards. We had a delightful audience though and an invitation to return to the Wine Cafe this fall. We're grateful for both. Good times. I think it might be too hot to hit the driving range this evening, but...maybe not. I could pick up some shoes for the course at Dicks after having my guitar serviced at the Podium. Quite a bit of running around, but I have air conditioning so I'll survive. This Thursday is the Summer in the Park music series so I'll be in Rogers Minnesota playing for free. Open to the public and it should be a breezy 80 degrees. State Fair is coming soon too, but I'm not performing. Next week is South Dakota and Nebraska. Must find books on tape. Perhaps on investing...?

Escanaba & cake
Music: none
Book: The Historian
My weekend was actually very enjoyable. I had a brief scare on Saturday night when I opened the front door to find my INDOOR cat staring at me from the outside of the porch. Ahhh! Turns out she slipped through the garage and walked straight to the front door to be let back inside - at my parents house. Smart cat, but it terrified me to tears even though she was only outside about 60 seconds. My mother joined me for the trip to Escanaba's 8th Street CoffeeHouse which was delightful. The trip went fast and the evening truly rewarding. Escanaba has such a devoted music community that the audience was full of bodies and very responsive. I hope to go back this fall - probably late September or early October. In wedding news, we settled on a delicious Butter Almond Pound Cake with White Chocolate filling and a buttercream/fondant icing. Tasty. Also we checked off the music for ceremony and reception and are 99% decided on flowers and decorations. Cool. Most vendors said we could change our minds up until the end of December. I thought that was insane! Why revisit this??? You liked it once, why not stick with it and save time? Bizarre. Well, now we're back in Minneapolis and I have a radio music interview set up for 1pm Eastern/12 noon Central on Wednesday, July 27th for an Escanaba station. Most Minnesota folks won't be able to tune in, but I'll be thinking about you. My back is tingling from the driving range my father and I hit on Sunday. Yes it was 100 plus degrees outside, but worth the heat. We had a blast!

Music: sinead o'connor
Book: harry potter - book 6
Like the rest of the world I am ensconced (sp?) in the latest Harry Potter novel. Great fun. I had an odd show on Thrusday at the Dinkytowner. Late night, different kind of crowd; sporadic dancing, quiet audience, but I'm not sure if they were listening or sleeping. Still felt really great to play out though. This Saturday I'll be in Escanaba, MI at the 8th Street Coffeehosue from 9-11pm. Then the following Friday, July 29th - Chadly and I are back in Mankato but for the first time at the Wine Cafe starting at 9pm playing all night long. Can't wait. We have some fun covers to try out at that show. More wedding planning in the works, but now we've moved on to cake tasting.
I have an outdoor show in Mpls/St. Paul the first week in August before hitting the road for South Dakota, Omaha and Iowa.
I'll keep you posted. Must nap now. Very tired.
