Nice report John! I hate to miss shows so close to home, but I had a game to coach, and I did do the Keswick show.
Ken and Sherry's dog is a cute and smart little thing huh? He's part Border Collie Ken told me, and they are a smart breed,in fact, smarter than most republicans scientists have told me.

thanks, john! mark and i wished we could have joined you, but such is life. see you at carnegie!!

Nice report! Hope you got some pics & can put them online or send to Dave. Big burning question: What did Arlo wear? Anything else unusual happen. Thanks!

cheryl..i heard rumors that instead of the black suit that we've all seen him wearing over the year he switched to red leather.

No, it was the all nude show. Didn't you see the "clothing optional" notation on the concert listing? I, myself, felt much more free. As the Morecambe Naturists Society's commercial put it "no clothes, no ties, no social distinctions."

Oh yeah Laura! but didn't you notice the red leather hat?

Yes, Arlo called me the other day and asked my opinion on the nude show. I told him he looked great, and therefore, he should do it. So what if he's playing with his kids. They're young and liberated.... I told him the red leather hat was a must.... Just for you Cheryl... other than that? I told him I could smell that stinky black suit a mile away. I didn't go to the show, but it sounds like he took my advice.

Which way was/were the nude(s) facing?

I think this is an image I'd rather not conjure in my addled head.

So, red leather, you say?

Ho ho ho!

He was wearing a hat? Gee, how did I miss that?

When you do a nude show and wear leather hats, of course you face the audience. Facing the other way would be weird.

Sounds great and I too wish I could have been there, although I do find nude shows chilly this time of year.

pat, that is why they were selling hot soup during intermission and arlo took us all out afterwards for hot toddies...i didnt want to tell you because i knew you'd be upset that you missed it!

stay warm..any way you can...LOL

glad to see arlo went back to the John Harms center, but too bad it was the weekend before thanksgiving!! and with the clothing optional in effect, I was really geared up for this show! Too bad!!! Of course, I couldn't very well appear in the all-together without the front half anyway!!!

john, thanks for the setlist and thanks laura for the red leather update!
wow.. do you think they'll do carnegie in Drag??? cool!
