Bunch of Something

Blog and Blog-Readers,

I learned some time ago that tardiness (or even negligence) is often forgiven if an explanation accompanies it. All this to say, I've taken a blogbreak to do some musicwork. Here's what I have been juggling whilst the blogball dropped:

--A trip to Memphis
--A trip to Arkansas
--Writing an entire album's worth of new songs
--Organizing what will become my Street Team, and everything that entails
--Planning out what will become my next tour, encompassing twenty cities in thirty days (January 2007)
--A trip back to Memphis
--A trip back to Nashville
--Booking up the rest of the fall with shows in Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock
--Getting the word on some Leaving Tennessee reviews to come out soon
--Seeing The Departed (JesusLordofHosts!)
--A trip back to Memphis
--Playing a two-hour set at the Southern Festival of Books
--A return back to Nashville
--Desigining new Milam merchandise, coming soon to a bumper near you
--Updating the website
--Promoting aforementioned shows
--Walking the neighbor's dog
--Feeding my sister's cat
--Watering my cousin's garden
--Balancing the budget
--Writing, hyping, rewriting, scrapping, and ultimately burying the great American novel
--Loading inappropriate ringtones onto my new cell
--Competing at the 2006 Billiards Trick Shot Championship in Des Moines, Iowa
--Flexing
--Playing trampoline golf

Yep, all of that (sure, that list started becoming fictitious at some point--but can you guess which point???). So, the Blog's got some dust on it. Never fear. I'll be back soon.

In the meantime, All You Nashvillians!
