Temple Beautiful Tour Dates
First off, checking in from the Home Office to let you know we’ve added a bunch of gigs with the Mission Express. A lit-fest in Wales too. We’re going a long way to spit on a hobbit, people! I’d much rather kiss a leprechaun, but that’s the way the itinerary rises and falls this time around.
All we wanted were a few gigs to sink our gums into and now it’s almost six months of solid gigs. Good timing, since Stephie just reminded me that when we got together I promised her “nice things.” And we’ve been moving ever since. (What can I say? Some hotels are nicer than others.)
Meanwhile, I know what you’ve been thinking: What do you get for the kind of guy who has everything - the kind of guy who likes to go to yard sales, smell everything and just leave?
How about a nice 30 gram Temple Beautiful LP? Check the merch section below.
And another thing: I read somewhere that San Francisco ranks second only to New Orleans in narcissism (New York has its own category). Well, for good reason. You’ve got to love a City where Roy Loney and The Phantom Movers are playing with CP & the gang!
Be there, March 30, at The Great American Music Hall. Roy and his Phantom Movers don’t get out much, so this is rare treat for everyone involved.
In YouTuberville, you can still check out the sights and sounds that made the Temple Beautiful LP happen, in a rockumentary directed by Darrell Flowers and edited by Cody Flowers: The Temple Beautiful San Francisco Tour (part 1):

And for people coming in from out of town on March 30, can I recommend the Palace Hotel walking tour? Work off that Great American hangover! Stand over the bed where a US President died! http://www.sfcityguides.org/desc.html?tour=61
All the best (and all the rest),
—CP

fresh air
I woke up to a kind of cool surprise: Temple Beautiful being reviewed today on Fresh Air, by Ken Tucker himself. I checked my medications and they hadn’t expired, so I guess it was real. Somebody tell my mom!
Check your local listings.
Oh, and the One-Time-Only Temple Beautiful San Francisco Bus Tour and after party are history - the right kind of history, a night to remember kind of thing - thanks to YepRoc and a sterling cast and crew who know who they are. . . Check out a full and spirited account here, all hail the S.F. Weekly:

Last but by no means least, you may have noticed we’ve got more gigs stacking up everywhere. So an Overdue Shout-Out to Dan Kennedy at the Mummyhead Home Office and ‘over there” to Chris Metzler. These two Indispensables work miracles for me and many others on a daily basis. Chris pulls overseas tours together and arranges for the band and me to sleep indoors. Thanks to Chris, we don’t even have to drive the van ourselves or change the oil.
Hope to see you soon.
Go easy,
