Had a great little mini-trip to Phoenix. Really enjoyed the Musical Instrument Museum, which turns out to be huge? Despite sounding like a roadside stand that sells taxidermied frog mariachi bands. Also enjoyed enchiladas and fry bread tacos.

Had such a great time at WTF’s wrap party. Was too busy chatting with great pals to notice Slash sitting in with the band. Sixteen incredible years for Marc and Brendan. So lucky to have been included, and will always treasure the trophy PRX sent us for most bleeps in the history of public radio.

It’s a pretty incredible record for a man that young to write.
It was evident the President didn't like us
Assassination attempts, I'd root for the snipers
