Tomorrow I fly out of Ho Chi Minh City.  So long Vietnam, and thanks
for all the pho.  A day and change later I arrive in Melbourne,
Australia.  Still going...and going...

You yourself might not be in Australia, per se, but maybe you have a
friend there?  And maybe you'd like to tell your friend there about a
few very excellent Fulton Lights shows that are coming up within the
next few days?  Far out.

January 16, 2009, Melbourne (Australia) The Lifted Brow launch party
for TLB4!@ East Brunswick Club w/Bachelorette, Aleks and the Ramps,
Institut Polaire, Sly Hats, + one special guest tba (hint hint he used
to be in Pavement and his name does the rhyme with Viral Pears)
January 18, 2009, Melbourne (Australia)@Bar Open w/Eliza Hiscox of
Royalchord
January 23, 2009, Sydney (Australia) @ Hopetoun Hotel w/The Curse of
Company

I can't wait to get down there for the shows and for working on music
with Royalchord, whose new tunes blow me away every time I hear them.
I am also looking forward to not having to take my life in my hands
every time I cross the street.  Seriously, they say you never miss a
good stop light til it's gone.  And it's so true.

Speaking of working on music, a long time ago I mentioned that I'd
been producing a debut record by Katie Mullins.  This would have been
tail end of '06 and early '07.  I played some electric guitar on it
and some synth and some banjo and harmonium and whatnot and helped
shepherd it along.  She got around to making a myspace page, it's
here: www.myspace.com/kateemullins.  The music is worth your time.
It's folky and quirky and sad and not sad and beautiful.

G'day to ya.
