SXSW, St. Patrick's Day, and an album release

In the last week I've played 18 shows with 12 different bands (including Don Gallardo & How Far West, Tom Mason & The Blue Buccaneers, Jonny Kaplan And The Lazy Stars...) at SXSW, flew into New York 10 minutes before my show started, drove the Whiskey of the Damned van all the way to Milwaukee (and only got one speeding ticket), and headlined one of my favorite venues in the entire world. Whew.
