Over the weekend, we traveled up to Peoria, IL, stopping at some fun and interesting places along the way. Like the gas station/motel/apartment/playground that formed the majority of "town-age" at one exit. Weird.

Some great musicians were booked for this show, including the Gin Blossoms. But the Gin Blossoms didn't appear. I think the I'm-so-cold-I-can't-believe-it Illinois weather scared them off; either way, there were some other musicians who were great. I'd link to them if I knew their websites.

Anyway, on the trip I wrote a new song I'm calling "Shoulder", a song that is one of those stay-up-writing-in-your-motel-room kind of songs. There's just a certain quality from those you don't normally get. Once I polish it off, we might work it into our shows, and maybe even to a CD. I need to work on more normal rock songs, though. Trying to continually develop my song-writing ability tends to make me stray into weirder and weirder styles.

Creativity is a constant balancing act. Just something to think about.
