death & dreams.

the mails brought me a package full of death and dreams.


Photobucket


photo by the generous & gorgeous Nathalie Boisard-Beudin.
(she challenged me to spell her name correctly, fingers crossed.)


this package came to me from Cyn in Seattle.
where I will be next week on my new tour.
at Bumbershoot festival with The Kills, a dynamite little band.
this will be a quick run,
just a few dates on the west coast, but i asked the universe to put me back on a tour bus,
and so it did.


if you want this kind of power over the universe, go HERE for one of Cyn's pendants...
fair warning, they will go fast.

post-tour and new Neil mailbox...




Got home from the summer Zombie/Slayer tour to a huge pile of mail, much of it for Neil.
I, of course, had very little time to blog in Europe and even less on the Canadian/US run.
it was a beautiful summer, full of festival dates & new people...

my wallet was full of many monies & Zombie guitar picks...

I flew into LAX from Brussels at 10 pm on Monday night and Tuesday morning had me in a car service to meet Neil back at LAX at 10 am. Not much decompression time. Neil was coming off his AMERICAN GODS tour and he was a sight for sore eyes. This boss of mine has been on a health kick and he looked amazing. We had only to remove the beard, and *wolf whistle...
