Some pictures from the past month
I took a train down to Eugene to see Mount Eerie a few weeks ago. I had 6 hours to kill in town and I just walked around with a backpack on all day. I was on the University of Oregon campus for a while, a real "oh, I'm 29 and balding" experience. A student wearing cargo shorts and Doc Martens walked up to their friends and said "Ugh, the weather is nice but I'm still sad."
Two of the people sitting near me at the Mount Eerie show were one-upping each other to see who was the bigger fan. Both said they'd bought Tintin in Tibet, a comic Phil mentions in a song about his wife dying. At a Joanna Newsom show a few years ago this guy said he was going to Joanna's hometown. I asked if she was playing a show there, and he said "no, I just want to visit her home to understand her music." Fortunately I am a good fan and I do things the right way.
Here's a song I started singing on the porch when we had a really sunny couple of days.
