wow! I am in Austin, Texas on the world's most annoying computer. Not that all computers aren't sort of annoying, but this one is a laptop that is only allowed to open 43 degrees or so before it freaks out and turns off so you can barely fit your little fingers in the opening to type and it is very difficult to read anything and impossible to see what you are typing while it's happening. anyway, logistics aside I am having lots of fun in Texas. Last night we played a show at a place called "The G Spot" (due to its location on Avenue G and the fact that the woman who rents the house (rather one side of a duplex) sells sex toys). Originally, we were supposed to have an intrepretive dancer in a grass skirt perform with us but she was somewhere else making out (for real) so she couldn't come. That seemed like a valid excuse so instead we had some people in the audience do some intrepretive dancing, which was kind of nice. I wrapped myself in a shirt and cape made of very shiny see-through sparkle paper and paper plates and we sat on a ladder when we performed. It was fun. Earlier in the day, our friend Tony took us swimming and then we ate some free pizza, which was fantastic. However, later on at night (around 4 or 5 in the morning) a crew of 6 or so from the G Spot went out to get some grub at a 24 hour restaurant. I ordered some vegetarian eggs & biscuits and gravy and I have good reason to believe that our sassy waiter John tried to kill me with poison gravy. Luckily, I got to converse with my sweetheart on a cellular telephone earlier in the night :) and she informed me of the fact THAT A CAR SMASHED INTO THE VIRGIN MARY STATUE IN YPSILANTI YESTERDAY! She thought it might be a sign that I was dead and I figured it may be, so I was on my toes all night and luckily I was able to vomit a bit of gravy before its lethal effects could take hold.
the end.
