Happy June, everybody! My whole life, as far as I was concerned, summer began on June 1st. Once we got into the warm J-months, it was summer for me. So welcome to McGee Season! Hope this one’s a good one.
IN NEW YORK
Just made it to Zork’s & LV’s new house in White Plains, NY. Doing a bunch of shows here tomorrow — namely the White Plains Library tomorrow night at 7pm. Then off to Manhattan for the THE INTANGIBLE GRAND SLAM featuring EBONI HOGAN & yours truly on Thursday Night, and the Nuyorican on Friday at 10pm. Let’s hang.
AN IDEA ON MERCHANDISE
Due to the fact that I stopped selling CDs about two years ago primarily because CDs are quickly becoming the dodo bird of technology, and a pain in the ass to produce and carry, I’ve been rethinking my means of transferring mp3s.
My albums available include:
Mike McGee Is Beautiful
Live in Exeter, England
Live in Denver
Miscellaneous
Anyone who brings a flash drive of 1gb or larger, or their laptop, to any of my shows from now on, I will gladly load any or all of these four albums onto their media for $3 each. This means I don’t ever need to carry another disc again and neither do you. I think this may be the smartest way to sell tracks on the road. I understand the desire to have something tangible to take home, which is why I also have a book for sale…
VANCOUVER, B.C.
I will be in Vancouver to attend Lisa Slater’s & Kyle Mallinson’s wedding on June 18. Because Kitchen Sessions have been so fun at home in Worcester, I wanted to bring it to places I love. I will be holding a East Van Kitchen Session #1 at the Foxy House on Saturday, June 19. Due to noise issues, the show must end by 10pm. So we will start at 7;30pm sharp. I am not sure who else is traveling through Van that weekend, but they should contact me and be a part of it. I will host. Sign up will be between 6:30 and 7:20pm for up to two poems each, or a song (I mean, it is Vancouver.)
I will stay in Van through my feature at the VanSlam on Monday, June 21, where I will also sell books and mp3s…
