Minneapolis
What a fine, fine show that was – thanks to everyone who was a part of yet another really fun crowd. I’m sorry that you all had to stand, and I’m doubly sorry that in spite of that I did the longest show ever. Even my feet were tired by the end, and I have nuclear powered cybernetic feet.
Tonight, Madison.
In the meantime, please enjoy this video of Ian doing the 51 state songs from Hodgman’s audiobook (honestly, I don’t remember any of these).
Happy First of May Suckers
I actually did start the day with a scone, but only a medium house blend. And I was in an airport, so no squirrels. But still. Tonight is Varsity Theater in Minneapolis – and yes, I too am excited about being able to sing First of May on the first of May, but please do not show up naked.

I spent all my time in Seattle and Portland walking around with a Flip Video in my pocket annoying all the very nice people who were just trying to check me into my hotel or sell me a donut. Below are the results (in a fancy playlist – thanks for the suggestion Javier). Part 1 is my trip to Seattle, Part 2 is our drive to Portland and the show there. I hope there will be more parts, but I haven’t edited them together yet.
Also, a longer version of the Giant Donut Incident exists, but I will leave that for Paul and Storm to post and discuss.
Thank You Portland and Seattle
Another great trip to the beautiful Northwest – full houses, enthusiastic crowds, and a lot of that general calm and pleasant feeling I get when I’m there (do you all have industrial pumps filling the air with Ativan mist or something?). Plus on Saturday night in Seattle, Paul and Storm and I were privileged to share the stage with Molly, aka Sweetafton23. I have linked to two videos as proof, but she did a total of four songs – I’m sure the other two will turn up somewhere or other. Thank you Molly for making that show extra fun. And thank you to everyone who came out to see us. This weekend is Minneapolis, Madison and Chicago, or what like to call the Steadily Diminishing Appreciation for the Song “Curl” Tour.
