The route I am taking to Cleveland tomorrow will be a brand new one for me, gang. All backroads and State Highways. It should be beautiful. The weather is supposed to be splendid. We shall see!

Nick Cave will be performing in what is now called the KeyBank State Theater (how lovely, right? Sounds straight out of the USSR). A long time ago, though — meaning, in my wee bonny girlhood — it used to be called the Cleveland Playhouse and it had a wonderful theatrical history. But now the whole surrounding area is called “Playhouse Square” and is a collection of several theaters.

Anyway, I have not been to this theater since my wee bonny girlhood — yes, when the USSR was pretty much only in the USSR. I was last in the Cleveland Playhouse with my grandmother, who was my favorite person on Earth and who has been gone a long, long time now. I’m sure my memories will feel overwhelming while I’m there.

If you’re in Washington DC right this very minute — Nick Cave is doing a book signing at 11AM at a bookshop called Politics and Prose, at 5015 Connecticut Ave NW.

Tonight he’s performing in DC, also, but it is already sold out.

Okay I’ve got stuff to do because I need to work at the train station tonight (and btw — that new cocktail that is named after me is kind of a big hit. See Thursday’s post). Mostly I just wanted to make sure you knew that Phil is planning to go live tonight at 8PM Eastern time.

Okay, I gotta scurry!

Enjoy your Saturday wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!

I will most likely be playing this tomorrow…. my usual driving-for-a-long-time-on-a-sunny-day music! Tom Petty & the Heartbreaker’s live version of “Runnin’ Down A Dream”. (I miss you so much, Tom.) Okay. Enjoy!!
