Rum, bum & baccy, Kendall, the usual. I believe they are making a film about voyage of the Mignonette, which was the last (known) case of cannibalism at sea that was put through the courts. The reason I raise the point is that she sailed from Tollesbury, in Essex, where the good ship Skipjack is berthed. Talk about thread drift!

I just got the word yesterday that my conference in Philadelphia has been postponed until August. That means that I won't be making my own grand tour down the east coast to visit with Sinsull and Annamil and Max until then.

Bill, at one point you suggested you finish the tour in Keene, since it's so close to Boston. Here's what I can offer you:
Sunday, June 3, an evening concert in Keene, coffeehouse style with donations at the door.
AND/OR
June 12 or 13 a gig at my school that will pay well.
I don't want to be selfish but you are welcome to do both gigs!
I'm at school so don't have your email address. Let me know what you want to do!

Wow! Annamill, you will have a house full. You probably won't have room on your floor or in your driveway for one more on the 11th.

Since I am on my way to Philadelphia for the 12th and I will be in Mystic on the 10th I thought I might line up some visiting time with someone.

Or I could sponge off... er.. visit Mary in New York.

There have been times and dates bantered around and so I'm not really sure of our guys itinerary at all. June 12th is Tuesday and you know, Bill, you, Sam and Ian are welcome any time in my home. I have written to Bill suggesting he come to my place on June 9th and stay till they have to leave. We could drive over to West Chester on Tuesday, or Wednesday and we could have a big get-together the weekend of the 9th. I'm wait to hear before I put out a thread. Just let me know.

The host for the house concert has pulled out. I am now looking for an alternative location for a concert in Maine on June 2. I expect it will be at the Chocolate Church in the Curtis Room unless we get more than 100 people to reserve seats.

The first time I heard "New Hampster," it was from a DJ on a local radio station in the early 80s. He's host of Hollywood Squares now.

We once had a performer at the Chocolate Church that used that term. He was up from NH but originally from California. As he described it he was sitting in his home on the West Coast contemplating the death of his beloved pet. He mused, "Now I need a new hamster." Next thing he knew, there he was in a new state. I've called it New Hamster ever since.

He was also the one who asked what was worshipped in the Chocolate Church. He thought it might be the God Iva.

I don't get jet lag crossing East to West but West to East is a problem so that should be OK The 31st is a thursday on my calandar but we could be there that night in Boston, (are there any good sessions in Boston on thursday nights?)Friday should be OK for Portsmouth and Saturday OK in Maine (I've never been to Maine but heard a lot about it) If Animetera can get Nelson for the Sunday that would be great then we could head South. Mrs Cobble , Don't correct Bret's spelling when you spell here hear. And I always thought it was New Hampshire not New Hamster

OK, I think we can do this. If you flew into Boston on Thursday the 30th you could do the Portsmouth (New Hamster) session on Friday, a house concert in Freeport (Maine) on Saturday and the rest of your tour from there. The only problem I foresee is jet lag.

Now, we need to arrange accomodations. C'mon guys, let's get together on this. I have a futon and two foam pads so I could give them sleeping room but it wouldn't be as comfortable as real beds. Who has room for them?

Bill, do you mind if you get slit up between houses? I don't expect you would but we can keep your costs down if we can keep you out of motels and such.
