Babybabybaby?

Today is my wife's due date but we are still waiting for the little one to make an appearance. Had a false alarm on the 28th and it was pretty intense - but as our doula puts it we are well prepared. Or as prepared as anyone can be for parenthood. If this little tike doesn't show up soon I think I may start having labor pains. We have family flying in a few weeks after the due date so we get some breathing room and some time to enjoy the horrid smells that come out of our child. Ah yes. Fatherhood.

All is well on the show front, Vancouver shows Feb 10-14 are completely sold out and the Charlotte North Carolina dates go on sale on Feb 6th. The Charlotte shows will be at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center from March 10-15.

Reading this book called the Four Hour Work Week. Damn good book! I'm also reading a book about Pixar - very inspirational.

Vancouver and more.

SOLD OUT! Two words I like to hear. I'm excited about doing the shows at The Cultch (Vancouver East Cultural Center) and it sounds like the public is too. 99% of my touring thus far (Scotland, Canada, Australia, UAE) has been a result of me making it happen with no help so I'm really excited about Tim Fox and Columbia Artist Management coming on board to make some things happen for the U.S. and beyond.

Our baby is due in a few weeks so our place is full of little tiny baby clothes, blankets, bottles, and other things. It really sunk in when I put the cot together. Now it's just sitting in our room and for some reason the whole thing seems more real now. We're gonna have a baby! My wife is in great health and she still looks fresh and young.

There will be some downloads for iPod/iPhone on the website soon so keep checking back for updates. Hope to see you on the road.
