Proceeds from Saturday's Junefest show will benefit Relay for Life

The details have solidified for Saturday’s Junefest show. The show will start at 8 p.m. at the Peace Treaty Pageant Grounds east of Medicine Lodge on Highway 160, south of the golf course. The tickets – available at the show – will be $5 and will directly benefit Relay for Life.

The show will feature special guest Anthony Farrar. Anthony opened our last show at Mike’s in Medicine Lodge and demonstrated that he’s a very solid performer with some good originals.

On an unrelated matter, as I was investigating the exact layout of the pageant grounds, I checked and was surprised to find that Google Maps is now sporting high resolution satellite imagery of Barber County. I started looking for our fields and as I was panning towards Sharon, I found the following image.

Now I’m not criticizing – I’m sure the farmer (a friend) had good reason for random-looking patterns. He was most likely preventing the dirt from blowing or trying to find a place that wasn’t too wet to work. The point is that no longer is the way we work fields a private matter. Google’s incorporation of this kind of imagery means that our farming habits are now available for all to see.

I don’t know which would be cheaper
Putting fuel or beer in your drummer
Notice the mic stand by the front right wheel
Punk music just got a whole lot easier

Played a good show last night at the Perk in Fayetteville
Not a huge crowd
Not a drinking crowd
Sometimes these shows are fun
You can play 100% originals
No drunk guy asking for Carney Man
Or worse…Luke Bryan…Eric Church…

Reese Neal played last night with us at the show
Very talented songwriter with a completely different style
A master of his falsetto
He’s a vocal dead-ringer for Ryan Adams
He gave me his CD
I’m looking forward to actually listening to it on the drive home

G and I are off to find some breakfast
Then it’s studio time at East Hall Recording Studio
Saw the proprietor playing bass in Hot Shot Karate
Last night at the Boom Boom Room here in Fayetteville
Probably not going to start recording before noon

Here’s a video for today
Thanks to Dream Not of Today for the Twitter-tip on this one

Loading for Fayetteville
More studio time
Hoping to finish a few songs

Playing a show tonight
With people I’ve never met
Guess I’ll be playing defence again

Here’s a video for the weekend

Landed and loaded in to the gig in St. Louis
Drove through scattered rain
Listened to podcasts the whole way
Skeptoid and the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe
Going to be a tough show
Visiting my sister and brother in law
Both our families together for Easter
Far from home

Here’s a juicy nugget for those of you who don’t get Twitter or think it’s too long…
