  1. And once again, he will be avoiding the Bay Area like the plague (the Bridge School doesn’t count). So, a strawberry to you, Mr. Waits. Thhhhbbbbbtttttttthhhhhhhhh!

  2. “The higher the monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail.”

  3. The tour’s name , GLitter and Doom is actually that name of a German painting show from last year (2007) at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Considering the great painters from the show..Dix, Grosz, etc., I bet Mr Waits has seen it. Why, you ask? Well, he is or has completed another work with Robert Wilson…so there. I like Tom’s new hat. I imagine that it is probably a fur Bowler and not just a felt job. THe fur ones are the best…and go for about four times more than the felt jobs. THe old ones used to have a thin little area on the top for the heat to escape. Considering who we’re talking about here, I imagine there be one . Here’s to my favorite person on the planet. Did you know there is a thomas and thomas web site that he is involved with that donates books and funds to schools in Mexico? Takes paypal. YOu might like my web page…it’s a collection of sideshow imagery.
