Look at the weather!!!
GET THEE TO CENTRAL PARK!!!

I mean, if you live here in town or are gonna be here today. Yeah man! Get out there!
I had a great time at Pier 45 in The Village last night. And from what I understand, SUMMER began while I was singing down there, at 7:59 pm... so thanks to every one of you who showed up to sing the Sun down and welcome the new season.
Now... it's THE FIRST FULL DAY OF SUMMER 2008 and time to head out to Central Park! And here at the website, today is another SUPER UPDATE! (Just means there's a lotta stuff here!)
First, to all of you here in New York City, I gotta say... it's lookin' like we're gonna have an amazing day weather-wise for hangin' out together in Central Park Y'know, I say his all the time... if somebody described to me what I do out there in Central Park, I probably wouldn't go.
But, something really cool happens every week. The people are great. The feeling is extraordinary. And... y'never know who might show up.

What can I say! He digs my song "Keep Hope Alive"!
Hope I see you guys today. I'm always looking forward to possibility. And hopefully, I've learned something from the experience of yesterday that remains in my mind and in my heart. It's all cool.
Oh, by the way... YEAH. I promised I'd mention this again to all of you.
My good friend and colleague, Christine Lavin, is gonna be heading to Central Park for a very different reason on Sunday and I think I'm just gonna show up, too! She's been asked by a really nice guy named Evan to be a part of a "Bake Sale for Obama"... y'know, as part of the "Hungry for Change" idea. (IRight now I think it's gonna start Sunday, near The Delacorte Theater around 10:30 or 11 am. But, if for some reason they get hassled over there, go look for us on Central Park West in front of the Universalist Church on West 76th.)

Damn! This guy shows up to sing with everybody!
Um... oh yeah. You guys who are regulars around here know that I am a "possibility-junkie".
Well, I have another idea that might become a really cool NYC experience if everyone is up for it and will support it.
'm thinking about putting together an outdoor music festival/picnicright here on the Upper West Side of Manhattan sometime in July.
Is that something you guys would be up for?
I mean, I'd see if I could put together a lineup of wonderful singer/songwriters and make it a day-long party on the back property of the H.I. New York Performance Hall.

So many of you have already come to the indoor concerts in the new music hall. But, can you imagine a "picnic on the block-long, back lawn on a beautiful Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon?

I'm thinking... music on the block-long back yard lawn. A bunch of musicians who wanna show up and jam. A chance for all of you to actually meet some of the same people you hang out with all summer. A real weekend party with great live music.
Y'think?
If you guys tell me you'd be up for it and could bring friends, then I'll start setting it up! I'm thinkin' you could bring come of your own picnic if you want. Maybe even... everyone could cook up or bring a little somethin' extra to share with the people around you. Might be really cool
Sound good?
OKAY!!!
NOW... here's a little repeat of that gallery I ran a few weeks ago. This is just a random mish-mosh of a bunch of ridiculous things that have been posted here in the past. Let me know if you dig this kinda thing and I'll do more of it. (I'm gonna be making more songs available as FREE downloads as well.)

Let me know if you enjoy this kinda thing... if you like the idea of grabbing these images and sending them to your friends - and even people you DON'T like!
Y'know?
Email me if you have any reactions to any of these images, good or bad.
Ha! If any of these images piss you off, definitely email me and let me know why! Because if that's the case, I'm fascinated by you!
Okay... I gotta get back to work.
I hope I see you at any of the places I'm gonna be this weekend!
Thanks for everything.
