Fun show at Quarry House in DC

Real treat getting to play Jason Gerken’s Rogers drums over the last week. Even better getting to watch him play.

Finished the Mike Campbell memoir. I dug it. I don’t care for the post- Stan lynch era heartbreakers and this book didn’t really change that.

It did provide a picture of the band that didn’t seem to be sanitized by the petty estate, which was surprising.

Looking for some advice about dealing with a publisher that’s become unreachable mid-pitch. If you’ve been in a similar situation and managed to resolve it, I’d appreciate some input. DM or email if you can.

Put a pile of cheap single shirts up in the webstore. These were left over from previous runs and they've just been sitting around for years.

Most are $5, check them out here: www.freebensears.com/product/clea...

I think my updates are done for tonight from the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that has killed at least 3 and likely more. Here's our current story, which is likely to change by the morning once more official information comes out.
Multiple dead and injured in UPS plane crash near Louisville airport
Beshear says the UPS plane was bound for Hawaii and contained 220,000 pounds of jet fuel. A shelter in place remains in effect for parts of Louisville.

Story from Mike Campbell’s autobiography about Stan Lynch and Bob Dylan blowing off band practice to go see Sammy Davis Jr and Sinatra. Tom Petty comes off as a jerk in this book, especially to Stan, so it’s funny to see him get told off by Bob Dylan

I'm safe for now but there's a giant black cloud over my neighborhood and I'm sure that will be a problem soon

Went to a community input meeting for new data center zoning

Everyone hates data centers, it’s pretty great
