The first day of VAHI didn't go as planned. They say it's a Sunday festival, whatever that means. We shall see.
Song of the Day: Absolute Zero - Stone Sour
Sunday – 02 June 2013
Day two wasn't any better than one. I've never had a more disappointing unproductive show, but at least I got my work out there for a couple of days and made some new friends. The best part of a festival shouldn't be the rain allowing me to load out early. I'll get my groove back next time.
Song of the Day: Roll On - The Living End
Monday – 03 June 2013
The weekend rain brought the lilies back.
Song of the Day: Gotta Say - Izzy Stradlin
Tuesday – 04 June 2013
And the hydrangeas too!
Song of the Day: Alex Chilton - The Replacements
Wednesday – 05 June 2013
I was out in Marietta for a client meeting this morning – the Big Chicken is always good for a laugh, no?
Song of the Day: Army - Ben Folds Five
Thursday – 06 June 2013
Song of the Day: I Ain't The One - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Friday – 07 June 2013
Maynard is feeling a lot better, but I don't think he is too happy about having to go back to the hospital next Wednesday. You've been home (30) days little buddy! (60) more and we are hopefully all clear.
Song of the Day: Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees
Saturday – 08 June 2013
Today was the first lazy day I'd had in a while and I took full advantage (I even turned my phone off for most of it). Pretending to fold laundry was as close to productivity as we came – it was a very good day!
Song of the Day: Coming Back - Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes
Sunday – 09 June 2013
I got roped into helping a buddy move today but couldn't help but laugh at the irony of the streetlamp banner as the bottom of the sky literally came undone.
Song of the Day: One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood
Monday – 10 June 2013
I went back into the studio tonight for the first time in a while. I didn't paint anything, but at least I opened the door.
Song of the Day: Why Bother - Weezer
Tuesday – 11 June 2013
Decided to check out the local flora and fauna after an abbreviated site visit in suburban DC today. Northern Virginia really is a beautiful place. Fifteen minutes from our nation's capitol, deer meander along the muddy banks of the Potomac unconcerned.
Song of the Day: Blood of the Lamb - Billy Bragg and Wilco
Wednesday – 12 June 2013
There's an incredible view of Garden City port on the Savannah River when you make that hard low right flying into SAV from ATL so I always make sure to book a seat on the starboard. The peacefulness perceived from above however did not prepare me for the intolerable heat when we landed. I don't know why or even how people live here this time of year. Ridiculous. In other news, Maynard received the good word from his cardiologist today – he's healthy enough to start the full treatments! Wish I could have been there but know that he was in good hands.
Song of the Day: Coming Into Los Angeles - Arlo Guthrie
Thursday – 13 June 2013
Wonderful electric thunderstorm tonight followed by an incredible sunset. I write about it here.
Song of the Day: One Headlight - The Wallflowers
Friday – 14 June 2013
Tix to the next show!
Song of the Day: I'm Amazed - My Morning Jacket
Saturday – 15 June 2013
Making my rounds this morning, I saw this wonderful positive affirmation. There's no telling how many times I've taken that left on Flat Shoals and I've never noticed it before. I love my odd neighborhood.
Song of the Day: I Was Wrong - Social Distortion
Sunday – 16 June 2013
My Father's Day present from the pups. I don't know who's more excited, me or Belle!
Song of the Day: My Back Pages - Roger McGuinn (and friends)
Monday – 17 June 2013
I knew the sky was a bit too ominous for a Monday and I found out why after I got home. Maynard had another episode and is back in puppy ICU tonight. Won't know anything until he sees the cardiologist in the morning and I of course won't be in town. Fingers crossed for good news. There was a decent thunderstorm tonight though, so that's something.
Song of the Day: The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden - Concrete Blonde
Tuesday – 18 June 2013
Productive kick-off meeting in Charleston today. The two hour delay on the return flight gave me a complimentary upgrade and this wonderful sunset view from 30,000 feet. Still no definitive word from the docs on Maynard and it sucks.
Song of the Day: Surfing With The Alien - Joe Satriani
Wednesday – 19 June 2013
Thursday – 20 June 2013
Perfect Chicago morning, middle, afternoon and evening.
Friday – 21 June 2013
I may never have been so happy to be back home after a time as I was tonight. In spite of last night's shenanigans, I made a point to wake up early and take a final walk around Chicago before I left town. Having never seen the sun rise across Lake Michigan or the pristine beauty of Michigan Avenue in morning light before, I was glad I made the effort. My love affair with Chicago subsists unabated – full story and more here. Back home just in time to see my Mississippi State Bulldogs close out a win against Oregon State to secure a place in the College World Series Finals followed shortly by epic nap time on the couch with the pups. Long week, this one.
Song of the Day: Keep The Customer Satisfied - Simon & Garfunkel
Saturday – 22 June 2013
In spite of the fact that this dude digs up basically everything I put in the ground, I can't help but smile when I see him. He's kind of a bad ass too. When Belle barks and chases him up a tree, he barks back! That's awesome. He's a 'hood squirrel.
Song of the Day: Enemies - Shinedown
Sunday – 23 June 2013
This morning I noticed these two Thrashers dancing around over by the honey suckle. They are clearly on a Sunday morning lovers walk in the park...this is another reason why birds should have hands, no?
Song of the Day: Earthquake - The Von Bondies
Monday – 24 June 2013
Belle's ready to cheer on the Bulldog Baseball team!
Song of the Day: You're Going Down - Sick Puppies
Tuesday – 25 June 2013
All the wishing and hoping and unlikely prayer I could muster couldn't keep my Bulldogs alive tonight. It was a good year. I've loved watching these good kids experience this experience. We've had a slow spot for a couple of years but I'm confident that MSU baseball is back. As much as I'm disappointed in the outcome of the season and in spite of how much I hate college baseball right now, I can't wait for next year. Time to regroup and rejoin the Braves bandwagon – we're apparently pretty good this year too.
Song of the Day: Can't Stand Losing - The Police
Wednesday – 26 June 2013
A little something new on the bathroom wall. I like it. I think I'm ready to get back in the studio.
Song of the Day: Bathroom Wall - Faster Pussycat
Thursday – 27 June 2013
Song of the Day: Get Down Moses - Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Friday – 28 June 2013
Good sky.
Song of the Day: Juice Man - StoneRider
Saturday – 29 June 2013
The legendary Bob Weir. Excellent show. My Morning Jacket and Wilco sandwiched between two giants. It was cool to see Dylan but he's horrible live. Saw some old friends, made some new ones. Good times.
Song of the Day: Friend of the Devil - Grateful Dead
Sunday – 30 June 2013
This little guy is named Alton and he nearly came home with me today. Puppies make everything better, no?

I had a day trip to Jacksonville today and did not get the memo about Tropical Storm Andrea being in town. She made both flights interesting. Good day in spite of though – productive meeting, fresh seafood with a view across the St. Johns River and even saw a couple of manatees chillin' around the dock.

Hectic morning trying to squeeze a week's work into (4) hours before the flight. I did get to see Maynard before I left though and he is going to be released today. They're increasing his meds and are delaying the heart worm treatment in the short-term. After an incredible steak dinner at Gibson's, I took a walk along the Chicago River to clear my head. It is awesome to be back in Chicago – I have forgotten how much I love this town. As a bonus, I watched a Blackhawks win with the locals in a local. Outstanding.
Song of the Day: Call It Rock And Roll - Great White

Went to MODA with some work peeps and noticed this little peaceful jewel outside as we were leaving. They have an Eero Saarinen exhibit right now that is worth the price of admission. Plus-level bar food and libations at Tap after and getting caught in a perfect thunderstorm without an umbrella rounded out an above average day.
Friday – 28 June 2013
