Whoever thought that putting an outdoor mall in Wisconsin was a good idea is a complete idiot. When I was a kid, I enjoyed going to Bayshore Mall, but now it’s a joke. Nicole and I walked around the place, freezing in the wind, and decided we would never return. It is a travesty to have to put on your winter coat between stores. Perhaps the building designers were trying to drop a hint to Wisconsinites: you are all fat people who don’t exercise enough, so here is a shopping center where you can pretend to enjoy the lifestyles of cool places you wish you could live. The catch: you have to actually get out and walk around in the freezing cold to reap the benefits.
Suckers.
I’m ever surprised and disappointed by the lack of voter turnout. It just seems silly that people choose not to vote, for whatever reason, then spend their lives complaining about the very things they could have voted about.
Perhaps we take things for granted in this country. Perhaps if we lived under a dictatorship we might realize what we had…
On a positive note, it was nice to see a line of unregistered first-time voters stretching out of the voting hall. There is hope.

Waiting here at George’s Tavern in Racine, Wisconsin. We were supposed to be on 2 minutes ago, but there are some issues with the sound system, so we’re waiting ’til they’re ready for us.
Nice place. They (or someone near here) has free wifi, so I plugged right in, so to speak.
This is a sort of farewell gig for me and Holly, as we’re both departing the core group of the One Drum collective. What a sweet farewell it will be. This lineup features Cory Coleman (vocals, dundun & bass), Kristin Urban (vocals & percussion), Cecilio Negron, jr. (drums, congas, vocals), Holly Haebig (vocals & guitar), and yours truly on guitar and vocals. Poor sound guys. It’s 8:43 pm and they’re still fiddling with the system.
This is where the fans & the musicians both learn patience.
