Ahhhh! Another Stageit online show to view around the world!

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Steve

First of all- last night was super duper trippy fun. I met thi really cool artist sculptor cool person named Chris Warr and it turns out that his first concert he ever saw was me playing at Java Joe’s. Years ago. Years and years ago. And years. Anyways, he lives in the place where I played last night with a bunch if other artists and got to meet his family and check out his great art.

Now- I’m also excited about the fact that I’ve added another show online for the whole world wide web to watch and participate in instant chat while the show goes. It’s another 39 minute show with an encore of 20 for a grand total of 50 minutes. CLIVK HERE! For more information.
The show starts at 6 pm pacific time zone. On the dot!
Can’t wait to do this.
Love,
Steve

Free San Diego Show- Sat Jan 28

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Steve

Hey Freaks!
I’m playing a freeeee show tomorrow night Saturday Jan 28, 2011 at 8pm.
It’s at a really cool art museum opening. Space 4 Art and Loft 9 Gallery present a Pacific Standard Time exhibition exploring early surfboard design and how the use of surfboard materials influenced mid-century sculptors and designers.

The show was conceived and curated by Richard Kenvin, of Loft 9 Gallery. Kenvin is the director of the Hydrodynamica Project and has surfed in San Diego for over forty years. The exhibition focuses primarily on the work of two Southern California surfboard pioneers: Bob Simmons and Carl Ekstrom.

Brekkie galore

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Steve

Man oh man! I think my favorite place to have brekkie in the whole wide world is The Coffee Cup in La Jolla California. The other day they had these breakfast tacos that were amaze-balls. If you’re ever in San Diego it’s worth the trek into La Jolla for some amazing grub.

Right now I’m in a van heading towards San Francisco. I just decided at the last minute to ride up to The Connecticut Yankee for Tim Flannery’s show tonight. And— I get to be a special guest and sing a few songs. Yippee! Right now we are blowing by Coalinga.
Then I fly right back tomorrow to San Diego.
Rock on!

Thanks for watching!

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Steve

Last night was crazy. Thanks so much to everyone for tuning in over the Internet last night. I had a lot of fun in a weird way. There were 125 people tuned in from around the planet. Seriously crazy this future that we are living in. I’m going to do it again next week. I love this picture from Devon showing Troy watching while little Audrey chills out.
There were heaps of peeps from the UK still awake at 2 am. Rock!!
What a strange world this is. Getting smaller everyday.

I’m playing a web streamed show on Wed at 6pm

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Steve

I’m playing a show that you can watch AND hear on the web! The show is at 6pm Pacific time on Wednesday night. (That would be 1pm Thursday in Melbourne Australia!) Here’s how it works according to the Stageit folks: Go to Stageit and signup to set up an account and then click the BUY button. It will offer you an opportunity to purchase credits (which Stageit calls “Notes” ; 10 Notes = $1.00). Notes allow you to pay for tickets to see shows and to tip performers during the show. Once you have Notes, they can be used for any show!
The show is 30 minutes PLUS a 20 minute encore. Yee haw! 50 minutes! You can instant chat in requests. I’ll see them. The show is going to be from Chris Modl’s recording studio so the sound and camera stream will be great.
The show is only 2 bucks! You can tip me 50 cents or 50 million if you feel like it! Or not. It’s gonna be fun.
Wednesday night. Live! 6pm pacific

Have 3 cups of coffee and call me in the morning

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Steve

Let it flow through your veins and then make your decisions. Shit man, it’s Monday and there are things we need to accomplish. There’s a whole highway of super freaks and we need to connect the dots. We all need to somehow meet up. Let’s have a festival. Festival of freaks and throw a ticker tape parade for only us. I have to start preparing because I have a show at The Belly Up Tavern on Feb 19. The Rugburns—yeah man–John Castro is flying out. Bob Schneider is playing a set. I’m playing so and with The Rugburns. Bushwalla will do a few. Gregory Page too! Shiza Minelli it’s gonna be fun.
But first I need more caffeine and then I can make better decisions.
Yah mon. Irie

I ate everything and then collapsed in pleasure

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Steve

Sushi Ota is so good. I must eat there everyday. Please join me. I went there yesterday and then I didn’t want to leave. They had to call the people in the white coats to haul me out. I went koo koo. Now I’m in a padded cell but I was allowed to write one last post before they cut my brain open and fix my head. I live in a tunnel under the Mexican border and I hear voices from other beings behind fifth dimension walls of protocol. There’s a mole in The Senate and I need to report his identity to The CIA. Copious amounts of top secret information are being disseminated by carrier pigeons. It’s only through trips to various sushi bars that I was able to become privy to some pretty crazy stuff. Please send me a cake with a nail-file and some scissors and a luffa and some patchouli oil and a lamp and an ashtray and a Mongolian yurt and some carrots and diapers. If the phone doesn’t ring it’s me calling.

Are we having fun yet?

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Steve

The other night I jumped up onstage with The Nards to sing a few songs at The Tiki Bar. The dearly departed John Kuhlken was their drummer before he passed away am the Tiki Bar keeps a huge portrait of him on the stage. How cool is that? So if you ever visit San Diego I recommend stopping in to The Tiki to pay your respects to a great friend of all musicians. Give him a kiss on the cheek. He was a good good man.
