Demolition

It's looking more and more like Clint will be doing a 30-something It has been confirmed, that Clint is doing 45 date national tour with Griffin House! He did a similar length tour earlier this year and in the span of 4 weeks I managed to:

• cut down 3 trees with a chain saw
• paint two rooms
• moved the dining room into the spare room
• made myself a salon where the dining used to be

There's no telling what all home improvement will go down in his absence this time around. Maybe I'll actually manage to fix my porch which is still jacked up from Halloween...

But back to the point..

I'm super excited for him. He's going to be playing good music with other great musicians (Jeff Irwin is also going), and he's going to get to play all over the US.
