HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU GUYS
as celebrated by POKEY

Remember last year? That humongous 21st Birthday Party for the Baby Bigfoot of Monroe? Thousands of people, tons of food, drinking & dancing. This year, us being on the road, they haven't had time for more than to share a muffin with one symbolic little candle. But Happy Birthday anyway.

Last year was also that cozy little family party just for Adam & Melly with Art and Elaine and Liss' two lezbee mothers. and Doug finally forgiven and returned from disgrace. Me too, but still dealing with a buncha disgrace back then.

That seems sooo long ago. Adam & Mel hadn't even consummated their lust-affair yet, Liss either. I too, was doing without; hadn't met Maki yet. I sure ain't gonna say nothing about the good old days.

But this year we're in Pittsburg. Really, I'm supposed to get aroused and write an interesting chapter about Pittsburg?

Ok, maybe I'm not being fair to this potentially fabulous city, but all these towns do start getting a little bit tedious after number-- what, 200? (17, actually) --I mean, how many farmer's markets can we visit and keep on smiling? Our two lovely squachettes burned out after Denver, although they did like the abandoned ruins of Detroit, which I thought were pretty sad. But that was before I saw Pittsburg.

(private note)
We've got a Full Moon coming up, couple days before the 4th of July. I guess it'll just be us for the kha-rat, which is way fine by me. I'm liking the big crowd scene less and less, but am looking forward to being just with the people I love most. It's not even the sex... never mind, I'm full of shit. I LOVE the sex with these girls.

We're supposed to be doing a show in Nashville on the 5th, I hope our squatchettes are cooled down enough by then or we'll really be putting out some shit-kicking music. Hee haw.

Yeah, ok, happy whatever, my loves. Liss

They say: "Everybody writes a concert report".

"What IS this?" I ask, "our HOMEWORK assignment?"

So then they say: "Aw come on, everyone else is doing it, you should try it."

Hey, I DID TRY IT for 4 years in High School and now I don't have to any more. I'm a decadent rock star, not a dedicated student.

But then pretty pretty miss Melly says, "Hey, Benny Joe, maybe you can win the prize for shortest report. All you have to do is define which concert--venue, city, date --and whether our show was good or bad."

Damn that beautiful bitch, she can always SEDUCE me into whatever. (I'd like to write something crude here, but maybe I better not-- professionalism between rock stars, you know.)

(note from Melly: "But you can get away with writing something crude in that report-- you know you want to.")

Hmmm.

STAGE AE, PITTSBURG, PA -- Sunday, June 21
BENNY JOE reporting...

Concert went OK, nobody got hurt. There.

Oh crap, I forgot to write something crude. Shit.
