November 13, Dolder 2, Feuerthalen
Ahhh, Dolder 2, a home away from home. Kevin and Alex have played here every tour (5 in all) including three with me. Our host, Tom Luley, long blond pony tail and all, treats us very well (when he isn’t otherwise oocupied chasing the skirts), and the audiences are attentive and receptive. We stayed across [...]

November 11 – Day four
Rock and Roll Scripture: Just a perfect day Lou Reed If it weren’t for the listing of posts I’d have a hard time remembering the day. They’re melting into one another now. Last night was the gig at Gwölb, presided over by Hans-Jurg. He is a giant of a man as generous in spirit as [...]

November 10 – Day three
Rock and Roll Scripture: Home isn’t where it used to be, home is anywhere you lay your head Elvis Costello Tour. A lot of moving from place to place. A whole lot of activity with one thing to think about: show up and play music. It’s easy to forget things here. Day two and everything [...]

November 9 – Day two: …and, exhale

November 8 – Day one: Travel.
Rock and Roll Scripture: I’m so glad Cream Day one, leg one: And so it begins… The morning of our departure I woke up having packed exactly nothing. No clothes, no gear, nothing. On the heels of almost not having a passport I suppose it’s to be expected, but I was in good spirits and [...]

Martian 10K
In 1977, Pete Riegal published a formula for predicting performance at a new distance based on past results. The formula is based on the theory that when distance doubles, performance slows by 6%. Based on his formula, and given the Shamrocks and Shenanigans PR of 25:14.8, my predicted 10K time was 53:23. The Martian 10K [...]

Shamrocks and Shenanigans
As you may have concluded, “Shamrocks and Shenanigans” is a St. Patrick’s day race. Only five weeks removed from the disappointing Super 5K, I was steeled to the prospect that I may not get a PR here either, if for no other reason than the course was much hillier than the one at the previous race. Whatever. I [...]
