Yup – leaving Airstrip One for a week or so, as I’ve been lucky enough to be able to attend a couple of conferences on the East Coast of the USA. I’ll be doing some of my old acoustic crowdpleasers, but also trying some of my newer experimental electric material.
If anyone wants to meet up, have a beer and reconfirm that I am indeed, full of shit, then I will be in:
- Baltimore: Thursday 14th -17th March: Asis&t IA Summit: “speaking”
- New York: Monday 18th – Thursday 21st March: “Mooching” (and hopefully, seeing Qbert, Dilated Peoples and Ash)
- Washington DC: Thursday 21st – Sunday 24th March: AIGA “Voice” Conference – Milton Glaser, Naomi Klein and Matt Groening – Together at Last!!!
So anyway – I’ll be in Dubyaland* for a week or so mail me if you’re around and thirsty.
*to be honest – last time I was in the US it was booming with Bill, and I’m a little nervous of going there now… should I be worried? Will I get lynched for being “a european peace-loving pansy?”??? Answers on a postcard.

never been to baltimore (driven through it though, s’tiny), but eat some crab.
when in new york, have at least one cocktail (i reccomend the chocolate martini) in the korova milk bar. but the nicest bar i found was bar-on-a (on Ave. A, natch). cheap too!
and in dc, make sure you get the time to check out the mineral exhibit in the natural history museum, coz it’s awesome! my fave place in dc is the sculpture garden attached to the national gallery…iceskating in winter and a lovely fountain in summer. and the roy lichtenstein sculpture is brilliant 🙂
