I am back in Olympia... financially ruined in all aspects. I just did a web-search for this guy "Naked Cowboy" who people sporadically confused me for on this tour. It wasn't the buff physique that disoriented them (my bow-legs are like tooth-picks if you didn't know). It was merely the name. I bring him up because my friend Trisha told me he makes over $100,000 a year from busking in New York. He looks like a dork but it would be excellent to play a show with him some day.
Here's another entertaining tidbit: A burlesque troupe called Lucky Devil Girly Show has contacted me to perform my song "Persian Den of Sin" with them when I can. They tell me that they already use it and it's been one of their big show-stoppers. All or some of them may join me for my What-the-Heck-Fest show in Anacortes in July. My ego has a chubby now. I must send off a Slippery Goodstuff cd for them to peruse for other possible dance numbers.
What I must do this next week is organize all the scraps of papers (people's addresses, stray lyrics, press-clippings) that I've collected over the course of the tour and set my mind to rest. I also deeply desire to write volumes about tour adventures with Ivan but alas that may have to wait and wait. Every day I'll write something, though, so stay tuned!
