[Joel Cage Subject: JCUD 8.17.01 ...ingredients in a sausage factory... PLEASE SEND ALL RESPONSES TO: mail@joelcage.com JOEL CAGE "WEEKLY" UPDATE MARCH 29. 2001 Howdy Blokes and folks. Home at last, from a delightful bit of touring and a plane-ride from hell! Eight flights and two nights spent in hotels of unfamiliar soil courtesy of Northwest Airlines and their oh-so creative assortment of technical snafus. The House Of Blues was a rockin' treat thanks to the esteemed Mr. Jeff Pulver and Ms. Jennifer Dugan of RevUp records and Pulver.com. Early morning shows at the Newport Folk Fest and the Founder's Folk Fest in the lovely and upscale Park City Utah. The good thing about these crepuscular events is that, although sparsely attended by sleepy folk, I got to meet virtually everyone for whom I have the honor to perform. The Star Theater in Moab, UT was the coolest venue upon who's thespian boards I have yet to trod. Moab is awesomely beautiful country for you wandering souls .. so strap on the pack and pay a visit - Hello to all my new friends. Here's the haps: AUG 19 1p-4p Walter's Basin, Holderness, NH 603-968-4412 Brunch madness ... AUG 19 ---> later that evening: The 1st Annual New England Songwriters Festival 7-11 pm Jackson Town Hall , Jackson, NH This should be way cool - it's a 3-day festival so check there site for the expanded details. AUG 26 11AM THE MEREDITH ARTS FESTIVAL , Meredith, NH What could be cooler than an Arts Festival 100 yards from home! This is a nice regional festival w/ arts, crafts, tunes and grub all day long. I play at 11am, and again at 2pm. Other folks too, don't know who ... Sparky and Eddie of course ..! AUG 27 7p Guisseppe's, Meredith, NH 603-279-3313 Another one I can walk to . AUG 29 9p The Dolphin Striker, Portsmouth, NH 603-431-5222 SEP 1 9p THE PRESS ROOM - Upstairs 603-431-5186 At long last - a weekend night in Portsmouth, upstairs at the Press Room, no less! I am honored to be splitting the bill w/ my good amigos Cactus Highway If You've Read This Far Dept. IMPRESSIONS OF NORTHWEST AIRLINES: I can't stand it. I'm losing my cool. All these people in this tube are getting on my nerves. I like to think of myself as a compassionate soul, my sympathies intact with the harmonics of those souls around me, but who am I kidding? Give me some space. Leave me be! All this chatter, useless banter exchanged by frightened people all trying to disguise their phobia with charm. Am I simply describing myself? .. the professed "student of human nature" .. the uzi packing wannabe with a God complex? Eight flights , two days, all sweaty, all full, all too slow, all self-serving, all busybodies, all pathetic.. TOO MUCH EXPOSURE. Give me the blackness that hovers between .. I never realized just how safe the stage can seem - up in the light, naked and raw, but at least a part of a machine of my own making, rather than ingredients in a sausage factory .. yup, that's how it feels.. like ingredients in a sausage factory... can I go home now? A bit of honest and cynical ranting while stranded for the um-teenth time on runways of various land-locked US cities. My apologies if I offend thee. I am happy to report a resurgence of my usual Love For All Humanity .... and, as always THANKS FOR READING THIS FAR!
