A reader emailed to let me know that Adam Ant released some U.S. tour dates for later in the year. This correspondent was concerned that I wasn’t aware because I hadn’t posted anything yet about it. And seriously, I love the people who actually read this blog. You guys are awesome. Between your emails and the nice messages, you make… Read more »
I’m back home in Austin after my bday trip. But the trip was about much more than celebrating my annual trip around the sun. It was also a time for me to be by myself and come to grips with my dad’s passing. Everyone goes through grief differently it seems, and for me, I really needed to be completely alone… Read more »
I’m back in Austin and back at work. I am having a difficult time getting motivated to be a productive worker bee even though I have a ton of work to do. I think I’m in mourning because I really had a great time over the past couple of days and it’s hard to believe that it’s over. Adam Ant… Read more »
OK, now that I’ve checked out of that hotel, I need to warn all y’all about staying at the Sheraton Jacksonville… Do not be deceived by the nice newer furnishings. As evidenced by my last post, that place has the worst insulation between the walls of the guest rooms. I’ve stayed in Motel 6s that had better sound proofing. Yesterday… Read more »
Currently sitting in a hotel just south of Jacksonville and since I finally got done doing a super-critical, last-minute work document, I figured I would recap my last couple of days in Florida for what I’m billing as my midlife crisis concert tour – for no other reason than I have the laptop fired up and I need to create… Read more »
So, I’m hanging out in my hotel room in Clearwater pretending to get ready for a work meeting I’m having in 20 minutes. I should be out running around checking out the beach and finding lunch but instead, I’m updating my blog… Seriously, I need to get my priorities in order. Actually after this meeting, I have to check out… Read more »
I’m back in Austin. Actually, I got home late Monday night but as soon as I got up on Tuesday morning, I’ve been running with work, a follow-up visit with the doctor, and a suddenly active social life… Since I like to relive my travels, y’all are going to have to listen to me recount my week in London before… Read more »
As noted in my previous post, my trip to Florida to follow Adam Ant around on his Florida gigs hit a big snag named Irma. On Wednesday, after I received the evacuation notice from my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, I decided to opt out of the fourth show in Jacksonville and try to get home earlier than Monday evening, figuring… Read more »
Hello from sunny Fort Lauderdale! Yes, I am in Florida , the state that has a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane bearing down on it. Why, you ask? Well, I decided awhile back to do a little road trip and see a few concerts by Adam Ant. I’m not exactly sure who on his team is responsible for scheduling four concerts… Read more »
The events the past weekend in Charlottesville were pretty upsetting to me. There was other bits of upsetting news as well, one of which was that Nile Rodgers was hospitalized. About a year ago or so, I got to go see Nile Rodgers open up for Duran Duran. At the time, I wrote about how his battle and triumph over… Read more »
