On our way back up

Finished my two weeks in Florida. Had a blast playing eight shows at the Coconuts Comedy clubs. I always like to end on a high note, and Saturday was back to back good shows. First at a Nudist resort called Caliente, which was my first time performing in front of some naked people. Only about a quarter of the audience had no clothes on, but the guy whose cell phone rang was completely naked of course, who knows where he keeps the thing.
For my birthday on Sunday we went to the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, I got to see some Orang-utans, feed a Giraffe and pet some Stingrays. I also got in for free because it was my berfday! On the way into the zoo I found an 16GB iPod touch in the parking lot. I checked the address book for contacts...empty, address book for phone numbers...empty I was pretty excited, thinking the universe gave me an iPod, when I found an e-mail that they sent to themselves. Dammit! So I`ve sent an e-mail to Teri Blevins, and I`m waiting to hear back. It`s been two days and nothing yet thought so maybe she doesn`t care about her iPod as much as I do.
For dinner we went to Skipper`s Smokehouse in Tampa. Best oysters I`ve had in the U.S. and some great other seafood. There`s an outdoor stage and live bands playing every night. We had only sat down for a couple minutes when suddenly we hear a flute rocking out while the band plays a Jethro Tull track. This may not mean much to anyone reading, but we only have a cassette player in the Saturn and we`ve been listening to Aqualung album non-stop.
Now in Atlanta, just staying at my friend Griff`s house. I`ve only met this guy three times, but we`re like old friends. We`re going to make a short cartoon about a Wolf and a Manatee have our voices and talk about our lives.
Spending one more in Atlanta. One night in Nashville tomorrow, then back up north to London, Ont for Pearl`s (Sylvana`s niece) birthday by the 18th.
