PEHDTSCKJMBA! (or why I love Tom Waits)
OK, so I know that this blog is usually about me, and my travels. But if you've know me for, oh I don't know, an hour or so, you'll know how much I love Tom Waits. Seriously. When I was 7 years old, I knew all the words to "Frank's Wild Years" (admittedly, not the most appropriate song for a kid that age).
So this is a quick interstitial entry about Tom. It's my lifelong dream to see Tom in concert, so I get very excited every time he announces a tour (which is actually fairly rare). Problem is, he's always going to the most random places, and I haven't managed to coincide with any of them yet.
And now, he's announced dates for his new Glitter and Doom Tour, along with its rallying cry: Pehdtsckjmba! Watch the press conference for an explanation:
So, if anyone is stuck on what to get me for my upcoming birthday (it's less than a week away, after all), may I suggest a concert ticket and road trip to some fine city in the Central or Southern US in July....
Seriously, I'd love you forever.
UPDATE: The tickets go on sale Friday May 16th. If anyone is honestly interested in taking in one of these concerts with me, let me know. I just might try to get a couple tix (though they usually sell out in minutes).

If you drive to St Louis, it wouldn't be too far out of your way to meet the triplets! I'm just sayin'... :)
