Upcoming Seattle show
Not counting my friend’s 40th birthday party last Saturday, it’s been a while since I’ve had a gig in town. This one’s a matinee, check it out:
Many thanks to Jim from Stuporhero for setting this up.

Summer projects
It’s September already, I may as well mention the stuff I’ve been working on this summer. Here’s the first thing:
I’ll have a long wonky set of pages soon describing what this is all about, but to summarize I’ve been restoring a 1979 Honda CT90 and becoming a bike dude, within limits. So far it’s been a lot of buying parts and reading about solvents and oils and polishing creams.
The other project is less tangible, I call it “tour simulation.” It’s meant playing a lot of open mics and small shows mostly out of town, trying out my new songs and a selection of old ones that work well solo. It’s been fun. Tonight I’m in Centralia at the Hub, and a few weeks ago I was at Toorcamp. Check out my Sun Tunnels Facebook page to see photos from that, it was weird.

Open mics
I’m getting into open mics again, partly to prepare for the epic 2-hour show I’m doing in Union, WA in three weeks — not to mention Toorcamp the week after — and partly because it’s fun and you get to meet strangers. I played Shadowland in West Seattle last night, and Molly Maguire’s pub last Monday. I’m going to keep this going: Seamonster Lounge next Monday, Hopvine or Skylark the next Wednesday after. Let’s hang out.
If you’re into open mics this page is priceless: openmikes.org. It lists open mics all over the country. Many thanks to Paul Roub for setting it up. You used to have to look in a newspaper. One for every city. Stacks of them. So wasteful. Life has never been easier.
