Please, In The Name Of My Future Children…
Yesterday was pretty major: Almost Home shipped, and I changed my first diaper. Quite the Friday night, right? First things first: Almost Home is en route from Acme CD Manufacturing in Houston, TX. All one thousand of ’em. All $1663.52 of ’em. Which, when combined with studio costs (which, thanks to Kevin’s generousity, were more…
Read MoreI’ll Meet You When I Get There
I didn’t really realize how much I missed California until this morning. I dispatched my good friend Matt Kinney (aka “Mother Goose”) to shoot some b-roll of the sun setting over Malibu for the ‘New York’ music video, and pouring over it this morning, I was more than just a little sad.

It’s not even 8:00 yet and already I’m showered, dressed, out of the house, and sitting at Starbucks (woe is me for my support of Corporate America) on 54th & Eighth. My G*D: What’s come over me?

Read MoreTotal Eclipse Of The … Well, You Know
It’s 3 a.m. Que Sera Sera and Fish are in the hizza. And we are all bombed. which is fun. BW: I’m wearing Fish’s pajamas. FISH: drunk Fish. thank god for typing lessons in the 8th grade, and thank god for vodka. Sarah B and Benjamin have seen just how long my Luara Ingalls hair…
Read MoreMan, what an amazing weekend already, and it’s barely Saturday afternoon! I saw Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris tape an episode of CMT’s “Crossroads” last night (courtesy of Nonesuch Records publicist extraordinaire Melissa Cusick) and man oh man was it inspiring! Dave was in rare form, possible stoned to the gills, and in full-on Joe…
