The Glamorous Life On Tour

You know you travel too much when you realize you're sitting in the same random airport bar in Salt Lake City as you did five years earlier, and the only thing that's changed is the amount of alcohol you consume.
It's not that spending your life getting paid to travel across the country can't be fun;
Late night trips to small town gas stations for more alcohol.
The rare craving for an awful chain restaurant like Applebee's.
Quick stops at national monuments, points of interest and mom and pop variety shops...
But on the whole life as an artist on the road is less glamorous and more TOURture!
Especially when you've been doing it since you were eighteen!
Of course I'm grateful that I've lived my life performing around the world-
What nineteen year old would turn down a six month trip performing across Europe on someone else's dime?
Still, at thirty-three, I'm ready to spend more time in the city I live, and less time on a brutal, oversold Southwest flight to (slight pause for dramatic effect) wow, I don't even know where I'm going!
...and I kinda like it that way.

Chain Food Hangover...

So now I totally remember why I try not to eat out at chain restaurants too much!

I'm left with the worst hangover- Literally, my belly is hanging over my pants!

I think that's going in my stand up act!

Uuuhhhggg, I have to go to the gym now and get on the treadmill! I might not get off until next week...

The truth is: those "casual dinning" restaurants just give you way too much food. All of it is over salted (to taste incredible) and no matter how full you are at the end of your meal...

the picture of that damn mile high chocolate cake with hot fudge and ice cream is always right in front of your face! So you have to order it, and it every last bit!

I'm on a food detox!

Just say no to chain restaurants!

...until next month when I forget about the nasty feeling and 'am lured back yet again!

Chili's!!!

I know, I know... no one likes to admit that they eat at chain restaurants!

It's like admitting that you think Ryan Seacrest is actually pretty good at what he does...

But who cares? I think there is a time and place for everything...

And tonight at 7 pm the place to be is the Chili's Bar and Grill in Encino, CA!!!

I have a group of friends who are all funny, smart and sophisticated-

...and we LOVE to meet at Chili's and overeat!

After all, it's an American pass time!

Plus, the have awesome meal deals, and let's not forget we're still in a recession!

So stop judging, and support a local chain restaurant today.

Everyone is doing it!
