Fanatic! I just got back from the first of two nights of the Make-Up playing at Zebulon here in Los Angeles. Tonight’s show was great, can’t wait for tomorrow night. The night after, I’m seeing Alex Cameron at the Troubadour. The next night, I’ve got band practice. I’m singing a song with Cyndi Lauper at her annual benefit show in a few days and we have to get the song rehearsed. Singing with Cyndi Lauper, nope, never saw that coming.
My new book, Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 1 is out. Signed copies can be ordered here.
