Setlist Melody Inn, Indianapolis, IN 2.5.10 Saturday, February 6, 2010 Me & the billboard advertising the show  Proud Highway Getaway Baby Before You Were My Baby Don't Think I Can't Stop (Just Because I Don't) Crybaby Keep Me Born On Third Base Bastard Like Me Thankless War Feelin' Lucky Again Lawyers, Guns & Money It was a snow show. I was psyched to snag a gig at Indy's Melody Inn, a super-cool joint that does roots rock on Fridays. I was to open for the regular first Friday band, Stockwell Road. Apparently, the plows didn't reach Stockwell Road because the band didn't show due to snow. Unfortunately, the audience were all "snow shows" too, yuk-yuk. Instead of taxing Mike The Soundguy and making him set me up onstage, I played a set from my barstool for Mike, Carla the bartender and John, my co-pilot and co-author on this weird Hoosier odyssey.  John and I are getting buzz in Indiana, garnering a blog post on IndianaBeer. I'll be playing a cool show in Chicago this Thursday at the Elbo Room with my great friend Dan McGuinness. 9 p.m. And tonight at: Bone Dry Bar & Grill 3805 Ridge Road Highland, IN 46322-2256 (219) 838-2442 10 p.m. sharp ******* Jim in San Francisco, your copy of Hello Disaster is on its way. Setlist Max's Place, Bloomington, IN 2/3/10 Wednesday, February 3, 2010 Proud Highway Crybaby Elemental Lawyers Guns & Money Thank you, open mic hippies! Setlist, Vollrath, Indianapolis, IN Crybaby Elemental Bastard Like Me Proud Highway Lawyers, Guns & Money Getaway Baby Only You, Lonely Me I Get Excited Back To Jesus Allegedly, there is a streaming video of this (fast forward about two hours). The Vollrath is a funky, 84-year-old neighborhood bar with red lights, red walls and allegedly tunnels burrowing underneath that gangster John Dillinger used to escape police. The guy to my left was missing a tooth, the guy to my right was missing an eye and a woman who claimed to be a former Vegas stripper did the most impressive bar trick I've ever seen. She balanced my beer on her head, did cheerleader kicks, and then dropped to the ground and did one-handed push-ups. All without spilling a drop. Go Indianapolis! ************* Iain in Perth, Australia and Nana & Grandad in Chicago :-) , your copies of Hello Disaster are on their way. Roscoe's Links Saturday, January 30, 2010 Producer Eric "Roscoe" Ambel gave Hello Disaster a sweet link on his "producer/mixer" page. Check it out here. Also, you Facebookers, dig the Hello Disaster post on his "Produced by Eric 'Roscoe' Ambel" fanpage. Thanks Roscoe!

Indiana Tour 2010
Friday, January 29, 2010
 Friends, tomorrow I embark on a literary adventure of sorts that promises to be a musical one as well. The roots of this adventure were planted back in 2005 when I started working as a stringer in New Jersey for the NY Times. Back in those newspaper halcyon days, the Times did a ton of Jersey coverage and they had one main stringer covering the entire Garden State, John Holl. John lobbied his bosses to hire another stringer. That turned out to be me. John and I became great friends. After John married two years ago he got out of daily journalism, wanting a regular 9 to 5 job. Now he misses daily deadlines like mad. Being financially freed from journalism, however, John discovered he could do freelance work and write only about what he loves. And John loves two things. His wife, and beer. John knows every publication that prints a word about beer. Specifically, he knows of a little publishing company in Pennsylvania, Stackpole Books, that publishes state-by-state guides to breweries. John called me up last summer and suggested that we do a Montana brewery book together. "You know Montana," he said. "And I know beer." Hot damn that was a great idea! Road trip through my homestate with a buddy, drink beer, write a damn book and get PAID to do it?! We couldn't send in that book proposal fast enough. Lo and behold the publishers loved it! Said it was great. Only one problem, they said. There aren't enough Barnes & Nobles or other chain bookstores in Montana to make publishing that book profitable. So they asked John if there were any other states we could write about. John worked for a year as a reporter at the Indianapolis Star. "What about Indiana?" he said. "You've got yourself a book deal!" they said. ************** To coincide with our "research" for this book, I'm going to play a series of solo-acoustic gigs (the Banjo Jim's thing).
