wailin’ wall returns to homer’s tonight at 7:30pm. tom cook will join dan, matt, griffin, and me as we play through songs like copperhead road, ramblin’ man, jolene, and let my people go go. where do we play when we’re not at homer’s? sunday mornings at overland park lutheran church.

when the screenland arcade opened in november with 40+ games from the 80s, i knew i would be a regular visitor… i had no idea that my younger friends would love it as much as i do. last night laura, hannah, kitch, and i stayed there til it was midnight, and then walked to YJ’s snack bar. as we consumed spuds and coffee on the sidewalk, the $5000 acid girl rode up on her bicycle and quoted poetry. i got home around 1:30 this morning and fell asleep watching white zombie.

i was driving home from shawnee tonight when i saw a full red moon coming up behind the treeline. at the same time this was happening, i was repeating a line from tom waits’ gun street girl as it played over the car stereo:
“he bought a second hand nova from a cuban chinese, dyed his hair in the bathroom of a texaco… with a pawn shop radio a quarter past 4, he left waukegan at the slammin’ of the door, left waukegan at the slammin’ of the door, i said john, john he’s long gone, gone to indiana aint never comin’ home…”
thanks tom.
