On the road again

This time, direction…home.  My dog’s waiting for me.  My life’s waiting for me.  I’ll be in the car for a very long time today.  Feel free to keep me company, everyone.
By the way, did I mention it was 65 down here in Tennessee yesterday, and I was running around in a tshirt?  Too hot for [...]

Shaving

I will admit this upfront: I am usually not clean shaven.  As I was saying to someone the other night, I’ve got an excuse ’cause I’m gay.  We, as gay women, are expected to rebel against the male construct of the female norm, to the point where we are readily mistaken for the French.  But [...]

Surfing

Yesterday I spent a couple hours before the show down at the Jersey shore.  I love the Atlantic Ocean, almost more than anything else in the world.  Unlike the calm, pristine blue of the Pacific, the Atlantic is cold.  Wild.  Rocky.  Grey.  It’s more interesting, has more character in my opinion.  It was only in [...]

Craniac the Maniac

I was driving through Pennsylvania on Friday, and stopped at a gas station with a Subway, which is rapidly becoming my favorite road food because a) since it’s cold I can snack on a sandwich while I drive and b) you have to stand in line with other customers, and sometimes you hit a gem [...]

Dear Eatonton Sheraton

If you want to conserve energy in your hotel, you should probably have a sleep timer function built into your TVs.  That is all.

Dad’s turn

My alarm went off at 5.15 am this morning so I could shower, throw shit in the car, and start driving to New Jersey.  I’m on tour with Buckets again–Jersey, Virginia, and Tennessee in the lineup this time.  I had dinner with my parents last night and my mom told me to call her when [...]

The Girl on the Plane

We flew from Minneapolis to Seattle last night. I had thought it would be an empty flight; midweek, leaving at 9.45 pm. I was wrong. The 757 was full–49 rows, three seats on either side. We were seated in row 39, and I forwent sitting with the rest of the band [...]

All The Things I Miss

We just finished a show in Okoboji, Iowa.  A funny little resort town in the middle of cornfields.  They loved us.  Over 200 people in a 288 seat house (they must have been children of the corn.  ’cause I didn’t really see many houses around here).  They followed our rider to the last request for [...]

Oh HELL YES.

Guess which group just got a mini review in the New York Times?  If I’m writing this, it must be Buckets and Tap Shoes!
You can count on each Fall for Dance program ending with an upbeat raise-the-roof show, and Saturday night did not disappoint. After the slick but unmemorable Tango Connection came Buckets & Tap [...]
