The One Thing that Dupes Ducktape

Somewhere in Connecticut
I so heart Boston and the greater Massachusetts area. Fantastic show, fantastic radio experience. I loved it. Even in the rain and cold. I kept thinking it was September or October. People heard me on the radio early in the morning and made a LONG DRIVE to Worcester to hear me play. I got money and A DRAWING in the tip jar. I loved seeing the whole experience. I And I kept right on loving it until the Fung Wah bus home, broke down due to a ducktaped window coming lose.

Ducktape is a miraculous substance--it can hold INCREDIBLE things together. I learmed this early on, when my brother Blake went through a tape phase. His motto was, "Tape can fix anything!" Bike parts, legs of a broken chair, severed action figures' heads. I have learned, however, that ducktape cannot hold together an enormous slab of plexiglass at 65 miles per hour for three to four hours straight. The glass and wind win in the battle of good vs. evil. So we sat on the lawn in front of a McDonald's in anywhere, Connecticut and waited for direction, watching the next layer of ducktape get applied to the window edge. We went back on the freeway, crawling along, so as not to disturb the ducktape, and to meet another bus that was meeting us from New York. Over FIVE HOURS LATER, we crawled into Chinatown. I thought I was going to strangle somebody, which is not a godd place to be when you're trying to make your way through the sunday evening crowds of Chinatown to the subway.

I've never been so happy to reach a kitten infested apartment in my life.
