You know that feeling you get when you walk into a giant theme park and your all excited and you can't believe this day has finally arrived so you start running as fast as you can towards the back because you know as the day progresses the lines are going to get SO long and your favorite ride is in the back or at least it used to be and you keep bumping into people but you don't care because its 10 A.M. and everything is right in your world and no one smells like B.O. yet because everyone just got done with breakfast and the heat of the day hasn't set in yet but you haven't yet come to terms with that by three in the afternoon you will NOT be making out with that mystery fox you're still hoping you'lle meet and your feet will hurt and you'lle have blown your lunch money on gummi bears and you'lle wish you could just go anywhere and your brain hurts from all the colors and noise and oversaturation and even the damn plants are singing to you and you've given up on love and the best things in life which seems like theme parks when your not at one and you're still hoping for something real to happen to you, anything. Well, you turn the corner and your magically transported to an other world nation, any one will do, 'cept they need palm trees. And you find this outdoor cafe and you sit down and put those tired dogs on the chair next to you. Then you light up a cigarette and order a strong black coffee, and there, in the far corner, you see us playing. And we hope you like it.
There is nothing the Itinerant Locals like more than fueling up the car, grabbing the kids, throwing the instruments in the back and heading out of town. Anywhere will do. They started playing out of necessity, as their wallets were flat and the gas tank was empty. This started years ago in Toronto, and ever since they have been unable to break the habit of poor planning mixed with large amounts of travel and caffeine. Hopefully, one day, one of their children will grow up and organize these two, but till then, we'll all have to enjoy the strange spurts of polka mixed with rock mixed with circus mixed with traditional tunes. And then there is Fred the Composer, this whole thing is kind of his fault. It was in his band so many years ago these two started sharing a music stand, and from there launched one of the strangest and most unexplainable musical careers in the annals of tuba and accordion duets.
For the first time In generations, an AUTHENTIC freakshow will be touring through ARKANSAS!!
The Elephant Man is coming! Along with Firefly, the 27inch SMALL woman! The Lobster Girl! Jackie, the HUMAN TRIPOD! John T Rex, back from extinction and behind the drums!
You'll witness the Eastern-European influenced circus band, THAT Damned Band playing the live musical score, Lowrent the Clown and his flaming shenanigans, and The Great Gozleone with his several swords to be swallowed!
Don't miss this opportunity to witness history being made! Arkansas, you have three chances to witness the show of a lifetime!

Well, Jim is on the prowl again. He killed a little woodpecker this weekend. Chewed the neck out and left it in front of the fireplace. He also peed somewhere downstairs, but it's outdoor carpet and some Nag Champa seemed to cover up the smell. I think he's having separation anxiety, but he's fairly content I think sitting on top of the fridge protecting my beer. Made some more IPA yesterday, with Nugget and Cascade hops and just over 7 pounds of malt. The other IPAs are about to peak. Porters and Stouts in good form as well. Will make some kind of lager next week.
You guys rock my socks off. My saturday evenings have not been the same since my departure from the brau haus. Just don't think I can go another day with out hearing your rendition of in heaven there is no beer. By the way i have been scoping out targets to start hiest wait shouldn't of said that here DAMN
