Tour log 10.11
Good evening, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to read this blog entry from top to bottom without falling over backwards. This blog will self-destruct in ten seconds. Good luck, Jim!
Don't mind that first paragraph. I sometimes rent my blog space out to sixties television shows. Has something to do with the space-time vortex through which we ordinarily travel when on these interstellar tours. Don't ask me to explain - I'm not an actual scientist. And unlike some of my blog renters, I don't even play one on television.
Anyway, here's a rundown of how Big Green's [INSERT NAME HERE] Interstellar Tour 2011 is going so far, ripped straight from the pages of my log book.
10.08.2011 - Negotiated our way through the asteroid belt. We needed to lighten our load somewhat, so we tossed a few things overboard, like Marvin (my personal assistant)'s Lowery organ he borrowed from our one-time promoter and second keyboard player, Tiny Montgomery. Mitch also chucked all of the foodstuffs. He hates foodstuffs. Food, he likes, but foodstuffs... not so much. Anyway... we started the search for the Olive Garden in orbit around Jupiter. Tough sledding.
10.09.2011 - Actually started a gig on time - first instance of this since, oh, 1992. A couple of weeks. We played the big red spot on Jupiter. Weather was awful (seems like it's always stormy when we play there), but the Jovian audience is the greatest audience in the world... if "the world" can be thought
of to include Jupiter itself. Paid in Belgian waffles. Hard times have hit up here as well, it seems.
10.11.2011 - Woke up around 18:00. Missed yesterday entirely. Our hyperdrive engine soiled the bed, so to speak, so we're creeping along at about 25 miles an hour, headed for Titan. Should be a Titanic gig if we ever get there. For now, I look out the porthole and see space turtles passing us. Note to self: when ship lands on Earth, fire Mitch.
10.12.2011 - Jammed with sFshzenKlyrn on Titan. He's big into Lenny Breau, now. Watches him on YouTube, which apparently is available on the planet Zenon. You heard it here first. Glad to see no waffles in the pay packet this time. No nothing, actually - I guess the Titanians have discovered currency trading... and subsequently discovered they were no good at it. Traded all their currency for Legos. Legos valueless in the outer planets (unlike back home).
More later. Isn't it always the case?
