Weighing heavily on me was the idea that we were going to have a 20th Touraversary Show without Sharif, who predates* my Touraversary with Heather. Sharif even predates Heather being in the band. Playing old favourites like Matador, Storm and Deep in the AM might've SOUNDED right, but I'D know what was missing.

Missing no more : Sharif just got FREEDOM. Hard-won, mercurial, swiftly shifting, TEMPORAL FREEDOM.

At least for Saturday night.

This weekend : Friday night we'll be close to full band, Sunday afternoon we'll be a trio, but Saturday night, at one of the most beautiful venues in Maryland, under a clear sky and low-80-degree temperatures - we'll have all six of us, acoustic grunging as only we can. 

ilyAIMY is Live from the Lair on facebook.com/ilyAIMY, YouTube/ilyAIMY and twitch.tv/robilyaimy ALMOST every Wednesday at 7pm ET. 

Twenty years as of this Saturday: Heather and I have made a lot of great decisions. We've made a lot of mistakes. We'll be celebrating on Saturday with strange and wonderful things, Sharif, music, free downloads of on Luck on Fumes on Spit on Love, and we'll be recording the night too - so hopefully you'll be a part of it. Especially if you know where to howl.
