Glitter and Doom
Just this weekend, I was explaining to a friend that unlike the good old days when I would drive hours to see favorite bands, I can only think of one artist whom I would leave the state of my residence to go see perform. And wouldn't you know it, that artist held a press conference this weekend to announce tour dates:
The last time Mr. Waits came within driving distance from me happened to be two days after the birth of Marlie. I often joke that if that happened to be my last best chance to see him that I would be reminding her when she gets older and starts giving me grief over how I don't do this and won't do that. "Ah, you'll never know the sacrifices I made, kid," I'll tell her.
Anyway, looks like I need to start figuring out a way to get to Alabama in July. Here are the announced dates for the Glitter and Doom Tour:
June 17- Phoenix, Orpheum
June 18 - Phoenix, Orpheum
June 20 - El Paso, Plaza Theatre
June 22 - Houston, Jones Hall
June 23 - Dallas, Palladium
June 25 - Tulsa, Brady Theatre
June 26 - Saint Louis, Fox Theatre
June 28 - Columbus, Ohio Theatre
June 29 - Knoxville, Civic Theatre
July 1 - Jacksonville, Moran Theatre
July 2 - Mobile, Saenger Theatre
July 3 - Birmingham, Alabama Theatre
July 5 - Atlanta, Fox Theatre
I'm too old for concerts and will only be lured out by Led Zeppelin, in my backyard.

Nothing yet.

AUGH! Once again, he is not coming to Oregon. Maybe, perhaps, someday...please God, or is God away on business?

I see Mobile on there. Frank loves the Gulf Coast.
