Yeah. As I received in several emails last night, the operative word was... "bummer".
So sorry about yesterday. I was sure it was a total washout... and then I wound up doing something else and was not able to pull the trigger to head to the park around 3 in the afternoon. (Maybe I should have.) We probably coulda gotten in a few hours during that beautiful afternoon that snuck in.

Damn!
And, then next weekend the Permit Office is NOT issuing the permit I applied for.
So, unless you guys head out to the park today for this "Obamafest" thing near the bandshell, I guess I won't be seeing some of you for at least 2 weeks.
I hope I get to hang with a bunch of you today. I'll be there from 12 noon until 4:00.
Here's a little map showing where this event is taking place. It's near the bandshell, but not in the bandshell, okay? I think we're gonna be a little bit south of it.
Here.. the green arrow points to "The Hill" where we usually hang. The red arrow points to the place I'll be today.

NOW... this is not an event that I had a hand in organizing. Some people who I've never actually met approached me over the internet to be a part of this thing, and I told them that I'm available to help out in any way I can. So, I just wanna help some good people who wanna make a difference and try to make the United States of America somewhat recognizable again after this November's election. It's something called "Obama-fest" near The Bandshell. (12 noon - 4:00)

Seriously, try to get a few friends together and join me TODAY... or, just come by yourself and hang in the middle of the coolest city on the planet.
I did get quite a few emails regarding this disturbing image from Tuesday's update...

No. No... he won't be singing with me this weekend. I was just havin' a little fun. (But, I can assure you all, reading this across the country and around the world... I don't think this image is half as disturbing as the image of this man in the Oval Office!)
TOM CRUISE
I know there are always people visiting here who have NO idea what I do! And like I always say, I know there are people reading this in different parts of the country and different parts of the world.
Well... Thursday night I was playing a little barbecue gig at H.I. New York Performance Hall... which is located at Hostelling Internationals most beautiful youth hostel.
. 
After the my set, a young guy from Denmark comes up to me and says, "That song you played, that one about Tom Cruise being scary... did you write that?"
I, of course... y'know... admitted that I did. And, he said, "Oh man! Me and my friends in Denmark love that song. Did you know there's a video of that song on YouTube!?"
I just started laughing. I think that is soooooo fucking cool! The world is getting to be a very small campus!
So, I very often like to make a few songs available as FREE downloads. Here are a few more...
CRAZY ON THE SAME DAY
WHERE'S THE VOICE
TOM CRUISE SCARES ME
JESUSLAND
Anyway... everybody, there's always a lot of cool stuff goin' on around here. I'm just makin' this shit up as I go along.. (Photoshop images, political cartoons, FREE songs to download.)
In fact... there was a Super Update a couple of weeks ago with a full gallery! Knock yourself out..
I hope you keep stopping by here every day. And if you dig this kinda thing, I hope you turn a few friends onto it as well. (If you don't like this kinda thing... um.. uh... how the hell did you get all the way to the bottom of this page!?)
The rest of you... keep in touch.
Thanks for everything.
