Thanks to my good friend Jerry, I'm going to see Tom Waits in Asheville next month. Yes, it means I'll miss work, but I won't miss Tom.Thanks, Jerry.
I will, of course, blog on the experience.
Jerry and I have a 35-year history of road trips. I can guarantee this one won't be like the old days when we used to do winter trips, wine bottle hanging out the window, chilling in the winter air. I doubt if we'll pass our exit three times because we're THAT HIGH and singing THAT LOUD. And the chances of us crashing on the floor of a woman who owns far too many cats are slim, but who knows? I will stick a toothbrush in my shirt pocket, just like the old days when this was considered packing for the trip.
It'll be fun.

i'm so freakin' stoked that he's playing within driving distance!!!

I am very jealous. You lucky bastard.
Tom hasn't played in driving distance of me since I was less tha one year old and didn't even know who he was.
Son of a BITCH! I am so unbelievably irate at you right now, I'm using the word "irate".
David--In case you haven't already heard it. 1998 KCRW hour long show with Waits. Interview and tunes--rambly, shambly, and pretty damn good. http://www.kcrw.com/cgi-bin/db/kcrw.pl?show_code=mb&air_date=01/02/98&tmplt_type=Show&gclid=CKORvLqwmYYCFUFDGgodQU74sQ
