Okay, I'm too lazy and still head cold ridden so I'm not in the mood to do a long blog post today but if that changes and I find reviews, etc. I'll come in and edit. In the meantime, have you ever wanted to own one of my books but were to lazy yourself or too short on cash? Well, with the exception of Daddy Left Me Alone with God, which is published by Tease and which can be purchased by

ETA: Here's a review of the show in Perm, but I had a really hard time translating it, though I did manage to pull out this sentence:"Eric Slick - drums with a classical musical education, operates drums minimal configuration, while the audience is simply amazing amazing musicianship and intelligence, draughty in every stroke." (If anyone can translate this review for me, please email me said

And um, just a heads up that my current NaNo project (National Novel Writing Month - a 50,000 word novel written during the month of November, as in RIGHT NOW) is the sequel, which will bring you all up to date on these *cough* "fictional" characters as well as introducing you to a couple

Good afternoon....So you'll notice there's a new song on my playlist today, which totally freaked me out this morning when the alarm went off because my alarm is the radio and I have it tuned to XPN, and the reason it freaked me out is because????Well, it's Al Stewart's Road to Moscow. And Moscow is where Julie and Eric are headed this very minute. It blew me away that this song was playing as

Who is this green man?Surely you recognize the character from this:Here's a hint: He spent the entire summer on tour, just got back late Monday night, and has three - yes three - gigs today/tonight for Halloween with three, yes three, different bands - where he'll also be playing guitar and bass (who knew) before taking off for Russia and Turkey on Wednesday...Okay, I know it's obvious.I should

So much for my statement that I'm resigning as unofficial publicist for the Adrian Belew Power Trio to concentrate on editing/writing my new book(s) but I had to make an exception because the trio is featured in this month's Guitar Player Magazine.Here's their video interview with Julie and Eric Slick:To see Guitar Player's interview with Adrian and to watch their footage of the trio's

I've never been so homesick in my life.Okay, so it does look like I'm having a good time catching some rays and reading a fantastic book (Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo) in Redondo Beach, California, that is true:Though I was seriously terrified when leaving Phoenix for Utah when we had to make a bathroom stop and this was the only place for 400 miles."You ladies have come to the right place,"

Well, we’re in the final stretch of the tour and to say I’m homesick is putting it mildly. All I want to do is sleep in my own bed in between my two guys.Oh wait. That didn’t sound quite right, did it. Oh well, Ha ha, get your minds out of the gutter, I’m talking about dogs. Oh Monty, I miss you so much!So as I indicated in my last post and as you may have read on my Twitter feed, this marks

And this pretty much says it all...Notice my skinny vegetarian body? Ha ha, I'm freaking starving to death, but oh it's so worth it.Also notice my new banner. You know how Frank Zappa said "Play My Music"? Well, here's my version: "Read My Books!"In the next few weeks, my blog will undergo a transformation.

Dear Blog:I'm sorry I've lost interest in you lately, especially as we are coming up on your five year anniversary this month. I was going to do something special to celebrate, but then I thought to myself: Robin, it's a blog. What the hell are you thinking? Truth is, and I know this is sad, but I've kind of lost interest in blogging. Between writing an actual new book, editing one I wrote a

So I've been at the beach all week, and I've been missing Julie and Eric Slick something awful...well, that's about to change. Eric is on his way here as we speak, and Julie will be arriving tomorrow morning and finally, we'll have a real baseball team again!That's a pic from the amusement park here circa 2006 - I am going by the length of Eric's hair in the photo combined with the fact that I

Well, I'm back home from touring; I have about nine million stories, all of which you can read in my new book tentatively titled "Merch Woman" because it would be a travesty to blog about them for free har har, and in case you haven't caught up with my agonized posts on Twitter, my first day back had me at the periodontist on Monday having the absolute world's most painful dental surgery so I

Hey hey:For all of you wondering where is Robin and why isn't she blogging from the Adrian Belew Power Trio tour, frankly, so much has occurred I've got the material for a hilarious and interesting (I hope, anyway) brand new book so as much as it pains me, I need to control myself and refrain from writing anything other than (1) It's been a blast so far - Adrian, Julie and Eric are making music

Hey hey:I'm home today before taking off for the New York City show tomorrow night at BB Kings (and don't forget about the CD release party at Rembrant's this evening at 8:00 p.m.; doors at 6:30; admission FREE)...but I just wanted to take a minute to publish some fun snippets from the tour so far.Now, obviously I have many stories and a few of you have sent me the most wonderful photographs in

Okay, okay, I know I promised live blogging from the tour but you cannot believe how incredibly stressful and difficult selling merch is at the shows each night...naturally, I am having the best time ever but the blog thing...no.If you do not already know, I have been live tweeting from the shows each night, so please follow me at www.twitter.com/robinslick.But I am popping on here to tell you

Well, you know it's going to be a good day when you wake up to this:"...In this case Eric Slick, one hell of a drummer whose name probably will be only whispered in a couple of years because everyone will be scared of his talent. Yes, he is that good and currently touring with Project Object, if I am not mistaken."(Eric Slick and Robbie "Seahag" Mangano at Zappanale in East Germany 8-14-09)You

Oh man, here's a tasty You Tube from Friday (8-14-09) night's show in Germany - Project Object featuring the usual suspects (Eric's back there on drums - you can hear him even if you can't see him...ha ha, the plight of the drummer)...along with Geronimo Black on guitar (the late Jimmy Carl Black's son) and the insanely talented Robert Martin on sax.More later. I'm not awake yet.

But my cake, a rich butter pound confection that will be the last fattening thing I consume this month and next (and
