Not a lot to say. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on more than a two week tour & the adjustment to it is harder than I remembered. Those of you who know me know that over the past few years I’ve gotten more & more agoraphobic & life on the road is totally out of my comfort zone these days, which is part of why I really wanted to do it; because I know stagnancy is revolting & I was in a stagnant place. But it is kind of stressful to play the character that I have to when I’m on tour instead of just being the sad sack I naturally am.
We did get to stop by Robert E Howard’s house & have been listening to some of his audio books.
Another thing worth mentioning is that in New Orleans I met a dude who makes comics smaller than mine & sells them in vending machines.
Working on the new issue of QRD from the road & the compilation for the guitarist interviews ebook. Running behind on trying to make the press releases for the stuff I wanted to be out by now. Not too much luck getting comic book work done, but I have gotten some photography things done (for some reason you need to click on the image to get it to animate).

Last Night’s Dream:
I’m on stage after a show getting my equipment put up for loading out. The promoter comes up to me & says I need to fill out a bunch of tax paperwork to get paid & he understands if I’d rather not fill it out & just not get paid. What the fuck? Is this the new scam to screw over bands?
certain venues in boston do this (except the part about giving you the option of not being paid). but you def. have to fill out tax forms before you play. The shite part of this is that if you booked the entire night as promoter you get taxed on the total despite the fact you paid out all the money to the bands.
