Southgate House in Northern Kentucky would be perfect, or I can help find a couple of other places. If nothing else, you NEED to try and get on WOXY.com!! They are "the" Indie rock streaming radio station (remember them from Rain Man?) and they do tons to promote acts! They are in between Dayton and Cincinnati. You could try and do an in-studio performance, which they do almost daily. I've got tons of friends who are die-hard WOXY-ites who could help push this if you have interest.

This desert wasteland sorely needs an injection of music about robots, zombies, and New York public radio personalities! I mean, how many times can I get excited about Jose Feliciano playing at one of the casinos in town? Please, please, please stop in Arizona sometime on your way to someplace with culture...I'll buy you a Snapple. P.S. As a side note (as perverse as this might sound) your "Baby Got Back" cover was pretty much the only thing that kept me smiling through my first month as a middle school teacher.

(I was the one who twice ordered beer that they were out of, which sent the bartender away to replace the kegs...) And didn't get a chance to tell you in person last night -- but I honestly believe that the second verse of Skullcrusher Mountain may be one of the best-written verses I know. Every line builds more and more beautiful heights of absurdity. Wish you were still coming to the Regulator tonight but hope you have a great show at the convention!

I missed JoCo in Chapel Hill yesterday and I'm missing JoCo who's playing in Raleigh, only ten minutes away, RIGHT NOW. (In fact, I called the Pour House and talked the guy who answered the phone for a bit so I could listen to JoCo over the phone. I'm not a proud man.) Well, so much for that.

Oh well, I guess that's a risk I'l have to take. Hmmm. now that I think about it... since you're going to be away, JoCo, if I brought my acoustic, think I could fill in?
