Having done the Coffeyville gig that Jed is now almost halfway through, I have to say that every evening I went back to my room in the boarding house (that was when you could GET a room in the boarding house; not so now) and watched DVDs of "Stargate SG1" on my laptop.

The days were exhausting and that is really all I had the energy to do. This was also four years ago and the situation might have changed.

I still maintain, tho, that if you are a musician and do fulfill the requirements, you should do this gig at least once. Joann Murdock, who books this residency says "Good things DO come from Coffeyville" and she is correct. I had some very nice moments.
