Happy April!On this april fools day I tell you this, I shall not be fooled again, by this business. I will stay with the Flaming Lips, but never again go out with a crappy, talentless, bunch of hacks.
Sunday's show at the Hawthorne Theater was the worst evening of my career.
It was absolutely the worst PA system I have encountered. I shall not go on. It was terrible and embarrassing, worst show ever.
I have been in Portland for the last two days. It has been so wonderful, I love it here. I haven't done anything much. I walked the beagles several times. They are so happy that I am home. They haven't left my side since I returned.
I had some Pho last night with Shawn and Kate. It was the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. Shawn and I went to Sweat Peas and got Vegan Carrot Cake for desert. It was fabulous. We came home and watched some tube. I went to bed at 9:00pm and awoke at 7:45 am. Oh to sleep in my own bed.
I have a massage appointment today that I am really looking forward to. I deserve it. 90 minutes. I think I may swing by the gym before and sit in the sauna and hot tube to help enhance the relaxation. I am still a bit weak and not ready to do any yoga. I am recovering from that crummy illness and my lungs are still in a very fragile state. Lot's of coughing.
Tomorrow I have to fly to finish the tour. :(
I have four shows in a row. It is hard to think of leaving but I committed to this and shall see it through, plus I left my favorite coffee mug on the bus.
I think that I am going to take a nap now before going to they gym to sit in the sauna steam room, hot tub. YAY!
I will do a bit of meditation as well, I feel so calm and at peace here in Portland. I realized how quite it is in my neighborhood. I guess it is from being around a bus that is always running and loud music. Silence is bliss. There is something so wonderful about it.
So many of you have been such a wonderful support to me on this tour as well, sending my words of encouragement, and hellos. I thank you all as it has really meant a lot.
I get to see Valorie in San Fran in two days, I am excited about that. She has really been a huge support to me on this.
Om Shanti Peace.

Shane, Why on earth are there Christmas lights hanging on the wall behind your head...they're hanging a little crooked too! What's up? Love you and miss you! Shannon
Soul patch? Really, bro? I thought you had style.
Portland is seriously an oasis of awesome. I was just back for a week off and it was just what I needed, a good re-centering, life-decision-affirming experience. Sorry I've been silent on the internet, but life has been moving too swiftly for me to comment on it.
Glad to hear you'll be back at your home on the road in the soon.
