Already the ides of July and as I'm swimming in an absolutely uncrowded Maine cool, clear lake on a sunny day looking up at the mountains, I'm thinking....this sucks. I wish I were stuck in a sweaty subway in a city listening to some nose breather next to me.
Oh, by the way, I was told this week that the title "Killer Convo" is off-putting to my audience. Because it implies that I've killed you with my words. Does anyone feel strongly about this? Did anyone alert Roberta Flack?
So this weekend it depends on whether the weather will cooperate, but not to worry. We've got indoor and outdoor fun things to do. Let's get started.

Lincoln Street Center
Paddy Mills will be playing tonight. He's done some great song work on the soundtrack of Maine Buggin's DVD. As a songwriter, Paddy has a knack for the overlooked. He knows that common sense is not so common, and simple truths are not so simple. With a hitch-hikers heart and a back pack full of notebook philosophy, Paddy leaves you grinning like you've just been let in on a secret -- one that you might just have known all along. Hear Paddy at http://paddymills.com/
