Alan's latest From The Road talks about their Chicago show and his hat shopping adventures.

"...It was cold in Chicago yesterday.  I needed a hat..."

I would have loved to witness that story!

Alan's latest From The Road talks about their Chicago show and his hat shopping adventures.

"...It was cold in Chicago yesterday.  I needed a hat..."

I would have loved to witness that story! 

I'm still dying with laughter at this story!  The image of Alan replying in the thickest accent possible to the manager while casually explaining he's playing up the street is too hilarious! 

Now that is a great way to start a Monday morning... nothing like a funny from the road to ease into the work week.

May I suggest an FBI hat for some more fun while touring the states?

Note to self...

Next time Great Big Sea comes to town buy some kind of piece of clothing that says security on it, hang around doors, tour buses or maybe open windows looking like you are supposed to be there.  Could also work with beer delivery uniform!

LOL  x5

Ha! Hahahahaha*hoot'n'holler*hahaha!

THAT is why we love him.

And now, the story synopsis ...... Emoticons, if you please...

Bwah ha ha ha ha I am dyin' here! That is too much!

Hmmm Wonder where else we could go with a "security hat"?

K 

hmmmm...from the sounds of it they are already in Kansas City.....I think I may just take the afternoon off and do a little "fishing"

 Oh....and all day tomorrow....*cough cough* I feel a little cold coming on.....maybe I shouldn't come into work tomorrow....don't want to get everyone sick at work ya know!

I'm reminded on a thread about what we could do if we pulled the bus over... seems like a security or police hat might work ok to help that plan.

Alan is spoiling us this week. Check out the latest From the Road!

"Just pulling in to the hotel in Kansas City. Spring seems to be well underway here.  Yellow grass giving way to eager green."

Note to self...

 Wear new security hat to churches that double as concert venues and approach strangers who bolt in during services.  I love the fact that they think of this (and Ames) as neat and interesting not small town hick that they are too good for!  600,000 eyes holy moly a lot of people go to church in Ames!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL again - this one more of a constant snicker. We're gettin' the goods this week! I confess I love the misadventures best. ...quite the knack for showing up at just the right moment this week...tee hee hee.

Alan, Alan, Alan...(shaking head)

Again, Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Love a man who is able to poke fun at himself!  

 Cheers!

I love these "From The Road" writings.  So Alan talks about debuting a song called "Straight To Hell" and then in his next entry he stumbles mistakenly into a Church service.  This is where one might say that God has a sense of humour. 

Excellent writing.

Does God have a sense of humour?  One word--Platypus.  'nuff said.

Oh my gosh! This is what is so enearing about Alan. I love not only the WAY he tells his stories, but I also love the KIND of things he chooses to tell.  

He got himself into some interesting, tricky situations there in Ames, and carried them off beautifully.

.....or at least they way he tells it.....
