Haiku #40 - Day Off

oh, the hell with it
i do not feel like writing
a haiku today

Haiku #39 - Weekend!

you are exhausted: 
first five-show weekend, complete.
get thee to the bar!


Getting a lot of love from the audiences, and I think we (the band) have a higher-than-average retention rate during the bows and exit music.  You know how at musicals there are normally about a half dozen people - mostly musicians - who stay til the band finishes playing?  We have an enthusiastic crowd after almost every show.  The music in this show is awesome, and we are starting to sound kind of badass, if I do say so myself.  


Day off tomorrow!  The theater in Binghamton fed us like kings between shows this afternoon, and we're at a nice hotel where the bar is staying open for us.  Robert, who plays Sonny, is having a birthday today.  Lots of reasons to celebrate!

Haiku #38 - Visits from Friends!

friends come to the show

bearing familiar faces

applause and cookies

Haiku #37 - Peeing on the Bus, again

peeing on the bus
involves an obstacle course
of sleeping bodies

Haiku #36 - La Parranda

Dominican food
Late night jam in the lobby
These are my people.

Haiku #35 - New England Autumn

PA - so not technically New England, but still pretty

there are far worse fates

than bussing through New England

in fiery autumn

Haiku #34 - Hangover

The occasional side effect of being on the road with people I really like:


the sun shines brighter
and ev'rything is so LOUD
when you're hung over

Great audience in Burlington tonight.  Wish we were staying longer, but we're on to Concord, NH tomorrow!
