the Brooklyn Coney Island show is tomorrow and we look forward to some good old fashioned chaos; as its a freebee with the usual hordes attempting to access whatever small area is designated as the deluxe vip thingy… we are planning several levels of non-admittance, that is velvet ropes and people with clipboards preventing entry into other areas that are guarded by people with clipboards these in turn surrounded by the same etc etc ad infinitum… at the end in the interior superior vip area there will be nothing, like unto the proverbial matter sucking black hole:

the shows continue to be amusing… we will return to Europe and the UK though probably not till next year, i keep getting queries about that
thanks so much to everyone who has turned out this summer to see us
i’ll put up some pics from the tour soon…

the tour (and ourselves) is covering a lot of ground… we will have crossed the country maybe twice
thanx to all who are showing up… the whole pairing with Pat seems pretty succesful, brining in new people for both acts
the Donnas are also a lot of fun, i must confess to not being familiar with them previously
so back in the bubble as we used to say; the road crew are pirates, in pirate mode that is, the busses, sound checks, hotels, monitors, the whole 9 yards
some memorable shows, and the band is very ‘tight’… tight is a musical term that means everyone plays the same song at the same time but with precision
i dont have any specifics right at the moment
we are in Lake Winnipesaukee NH… i only know how to spell it cause there is a poster right over the desk here with a picture of a canoe at the edge if a wood and the heading “pleasant memories of the vacationists paradise”
the place we are in looks like twin peaks: rustic charm la la, maybe a murderer or two but i havent seen em
another fabulous hotel room

Two Female Rock Icons Share Stage Together For First Time Ever New York, NY — (May 11, 2009) For the first time ever, two pioneering rock legends, Blondie and Pat Benatar, will share the stage on the Call Me Invincible tour. They will be joined by special guests The Donnas. They will embark on a trek across the U.S., beginning in Saratoga, CA on July 21st and ending August 23rd in Houston, TX. The Blondie and Benatar ticket gives fans of all ages three decades of hits from the two female rock icons for the price of one! Says Blondie front woman Deborah Harry, “Pat Benatar is not only a friend, but a fearless female rocker who has entertained me and her wealth of fans for so many years. This will be a reunion for us both and being able to bring our two shows to fans across the country is very exciting!” Between Blondie and Benatar, the tour will feature songs from a combined ten Platinum albums, eight #1 Hits and countless other favorites including “Heart of Glass,” “Heartbreaker,” “Call Me,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Rapture,” “Invincible,” “One Way or Another” and “Love is a Battlefield.” Pat Benatar adds, “Deborah and I have been friends forever. I’m thrilled that we’re finally getting an opportunity to tour together, it should be a blast.” The tour also showcases original artwork created by New Orleans artist, Tim Neil. His unique design will be the recognizable image of the tour featuring the clever blending of both iconic faces and will also be available for purchase on select merchandise items.
