I’m back from Madison, the zinefest, the highway, the house show etc. I was really hung over yesterday because I decided to carry brandy around with me the night before. All in all it was really the best trip to Madison I’ve ever had. I only saw one spider. I sold a few things, left CDs in some stores. The Zinefest was a little weird because it was in a theater and the tables were in the audience area so it was really dark, and my table was set aside facing the bar (which was closed) where nobody else was and so I didn’t get that much traffic.
The house show went well, although my left hand locked up and got really stiff. I can really only play the acoustic for like 20 minutes. But the songs went well because the room was filled with people I’ve never met so I was really nervous. I always play better when I’m nervous. Maybe I should’ve been doing this stuff when I was 20, when I could play for hours and it didn’t matter. Fuck.
Bought some records:
Scritti Politti – Cupid and Psyche 85
Iron and Wine – The Creek Drank the Cradle
Back to my life.
