09/19/2002 Entry: "honey your not in kansas anymore...."

my yogi and fashionable from nyc friend joined me and drummer pete during our weekend of shows in wichita, ks.... having just complete a major shopping spree and sporting our Bisou Bisou and Velvet, perhaps we were a TAD overdressed for Cowtown, but we prowled around the mock little town preserved to celebrate life on the prairie... we were greeted by a real life cowboy on horseback (or a man pretending to be a real life cowboy on horseback) who educated us as to the major migration of cattle from texas to Kansas in the 1900's... after about 20 minutes or so of this, my mind was getting a little fuzzy, and sadly i cannot recall in detail this migration, as mostly i stood there imagining all the very fine looking cowboys that must have been rounding up this cattle and how manly and sporty they must have looked and, etc, etc... ahh..... where HAVE all the cowboys gone?

anyhoo, we did what any good cowgirls would do in kansas, we went shopping! And now, sporting our new cowboy boots and suede coats, we were ready for a night on the town...

My almost "GLITTER" moment came at a club called THE CAVE in Wichita...while the fine people of the city were dancing along to the lava covered dance floor (all techoed out for no one plays the bee gees anymore) :( drummer pete went to the car to get a copy of my european single and gave it to the DJ... and poof! the DJ listened to the single and spun it, viola, just like in GLITTER! Unfortunately, unlike Glitter mostly people LEFT the dance floor, as they were unfamiliar with the tune, but enough of us stayed and partied down!!! Wahhhhooooooooo partner! And again, unlike GLITTER Mr. Big was not there to usher me into the back door of madison square garden, but Mr. Little was there and bought us all beer & late night omelets....

And during one of my sets at a club in wichita I was propositioned by a one armed man with a glass eye & a stutter, and though TEMPTING we had to drive to Omaha after the show so I just tapped clicked my lil' red shoes and disappeared out of his life forever...
