Texas Heat, Cowboys & Clowns...

Yep! I landed in Dallas, Texas home of the Cowboys Tuesday afternoon. My play little sister, Leah lives here with her family-hubby, Eric and the lil' ones, Teagan & Wyatt. Seems like this leg of my adventure has been filled with the small tykes. It's amazing how open and pure they are. They haven't had the benefit of grown-up fear, loathing, and hate yet. Thank God for innocence!

Baby Wyatt

It's so freakin' hot here! I can't even begin to describe how sticky it is all the time. There's not even relief at night when coolness usually arrives. Oh well... I'm totally jazzed to be in a whole new place. Can't wait to get to Austin for the National Poetry Slam Convention and all the music! That place is said to be tres cool.

Send In the Clowns... No such thing as coincidences, these guys were at the Seattle show!

Meanwhile, I need to send out thanks to my friends in Seattle. I had such a wonderful visit! Playing the Queen in Cymbeline was terrific and all was enhanced by the presence of my pal, Kevin T Moore (see post 6 May). I was reminded how precious friendship is and how incredible are the people in my little circle of friends. As I said at my live show at The New Orleans Creole Club, you know who you are and what you mean in my world. Just want say, "I love you, no shit!!!" Thanks for housing me, feeding me, watering me, and keeping me in touch with the hip happenings. The treats were fabulous!!!

Lovin' every minute of singing my music and sharing the stage with friends...

Eric Verlinde & Neda Shahram

Me & Dr G~aka Evan Gackstatter

David & Daniel Thompson (Dr G's Band) backing my vocals

A very special thank you to Evan who dug my music enough to provide the soundtrack with his guitar and band at my Seattle gigs. You and the fellas rock, Dude!!! It'll be a blast to do it again! Check out Dr G & the Funky Recovery Monday night at the Rendezvous in Seattle's hip Belltown section.

Tonight I'll be chauffeured around Dallas, so I can totally misbehave. Time to pull out my Cowgirl boots!!! See y'all...
