So, Lady, You Got a Bug Problem?



Why a Lizard is Better than a Husband

- You can pay the lizard in french fries
- When it goes out on a Friday night, you don't care where it goes or when it's coming back

Sure you've got a cat but no way will it eat the stuff a lizard will put down.  If you want to keep your kitchen up the way Martha Stewart thinks you ought to do it, get a lizard.  That's today's tip on kitchen maintenance from the Silas Galactic Peace Tour.

So, Lady, You Say You Have a Lizard Problem?

Iguana Motel


The first question to answer when you're dealing with lizards is to determine the scope of the problem.  Are you dealing with big lizards or li'l lizards.


The lizard was in the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, OH, and maybe he still is.  The motel is in Fort Worth, TX.  The squirrel is running for political office somewhere so we don't care where he is.

Silas Does "I Love Rats" - Live at the 20th Century (video)

trip and silas show 012


It had been a standing joke in Second Life when I'd end a set with this tune that someday an adoring crowd would call out, "Silas, I LOVE RATS!"

This was the show!  It wasn't exactly an adoring multitude but it was a great party!

Fade to Black

Cut

It's a wrap!

And so ended the Galactic Peace Tour!

You can check out the Cast of the Show at My Duck Soup.  Thanks to one and all!

Reunion with The Freezebirds!

We hadn't played together in twenty years so it was a wonderful moment.  Circumstances have prevented seeing them again since but I'll be forever grateful that we had this short time together again.

Thanks very much to The Astronomer and the Drum God (they didn't pick the names, I did).

With all my love to the Mystery Lady forever!

"It's My Life" with the Mystery Lady - Live at the 20th Century

If I could keep only five minutes out of the entire Galactic Peace Tour, these would be the five minutes.  The Mystery Lady and I had done many things in our lives but this was the first time we were ever so tight on-stage and it was the most beautiful, loving moment of my life.

Here's "It's My Life" on video, shot by Scotland Yard, live at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati:





Give it up for the Mystery Lady!

"Mr Ganja Man" with the Dancing Marijuana Plants (video)

trip and silas show 088


Sheriff G did his best but it did no good and the Dancing Marijuana Plants continue dancing.  Trying not to laugh while this set was happening made it all the more amusing for me as I was playing from the stage.

Here's the "Mr Ganja Man" set on video as recorded by Scotland Yard:

Sheriff G keeps coming around to tangle with the Dancing Marijuana Plants but the more he tries the more they laugh!

This set had people laughing from start to finish!

Many thanks to Sheriff G and the Dancing Marijuana Plants!

"Mr Ganja Man" is a song I had been doing for quite a while as it's a jam tune that let's me screw around for as long as I like.  These are some of the men who brought it to life.  Sheriff G who lives to bust kids for smoking pot because it's so scary dealing with real dope dealers is outside tasering chickens or small dogs or something.
