puny is going down south on a tour

hey my computer still doesn't have a shift key or a period one so trust me i'm not just being lazy but i have some news about 'puny' - first of all i might have forgotten on my last post to mention that i'm a member of the band so i feel comfortable reporting on the subject of news regarding 'puny' - and before i reveal the news i wanted to share the craziest dream ever that i had the other day where i was walking down the street in a big storm because i had just got laid off of my job - work just dried up which was funny considering that that was the opposite of what was happening outside with all the rain coming down and all - and the water was already flooding up past my work boots so i went to the first shop i could find to get some shelter, which was a coffee shop type of place, but instead of being in the wild west like most of my other dreams, this was more tame and no one had guns that i could see so they must have all been concealed and i was dripping wet and everyone looked up from their computers so they could see me being soggy and sad and then i tried not to get nervous but i walked up to the register and saw some cookies that looked pretty good and mostly i was here because i just needed to get out of the rain, but i thought i would get a cookie too so i pointed to the cookie i wanted and the woman behind the register grabbed it from the frosty glass case and she handed it to me and said 'two dollars and ninety eight cents please' and i reached into my pocket and pulled out all of my wet change and it was all covered in sawdust because i had just been using the table saw and i counted out three dollars and handed it to the lady and threw the rest of my soggy change into the tip jar but the lady said i had given her only two dollars and seventy five cents and i knew it was regrettable that i had tipped her before she double checked my counting because now i didn't have enough money for the cookie, but i did have some credit cards, but unfortunately there was a minimum of five dollars for credit cards, so i said 'can i just have another cookie please' to get my bill up to the five dollar minimum and she said that was fine and then i had to tip her again since she probably didn't see me tip her in the beginning - so there i was -- soaking wet and spending all my money on cookies -- and I sat down, still unemployed, at the seat by the fish tank because the fish were wet too, by nature, and i wanted to adopt some of their expressionlessness because even that would be an improvement on my glum face and they all looked at me and i looked at them and then once the fish knew i wasn't a threat they returned to their various games - mostly just either cleaning stuff or hiding from each other - and then i heard my name called -- 'croton' -- and i broke my gaze from the one fish still looking at me and remembered i was at the dentist - it could have been any dentist office in the world with the fish tank, a weather forecaster on tv, and some soft and vaguely familiar music that all the middle-aged women in the waiting room hummed along with - and i replied that i was 'right here' and without much enthusiasm i walked towards the kind voice of the receptionist, but i reminded myself that the people at the dentist office were only trying to help me because i needed to get a crown on my molar and i hadn't even seen the dentist yet, but i was already ready for the dentist's joke - it's like i could sense it - i was pretty sure that when the receptionist led me to him, he was going to put a goofy crown on my head instead of the kind of crown you put on molars - but in the meantime the kind lady was flipping through my files as she led me through the narrow hallways and she asked if i've been flossing and i said definitely and we both laughed nervously and the walls were as pink as sunburn and after a long bunch of winding corridors -- which she said were so winding because the building was constructed during the cold war when it was important that sharpshooters were not given the perfect opportunity that a long hallway provides for an angry soviet marksman -- she sits me down in a dentist chair in the middle of the hallway and says the dentist will be right here to see me and i thank the kind lady and i looked up at the tiled ceiling and one of the tiles had a big photo pasted to it of a pretty waterfall scene with deer grazing next to a naked fly-fisherman and it calmed me down and i thought i'd have to wait for a long time looking at that waterfall and listening to that familiar music that the middle-aged women all knew the words to, but then the dentist walks in right away and sure enough the first thing he does is put a crown on my head -- a wooden crown -- and he's laughing and i'm laughing because his laugh is contagious and it was pretty funny actually and eventually our laughs slow down with little hiccups here and there and i realize the dentist is my friend kevin of all people, from the tuna crystals' staff and he says 'your teeth are fine, croton' and that was a huge relief to hear and he said 'you want to go get some cookies' and i froze and was like 'wait a second i've got cookies already - i got two of them' and so we go back into the waiting room and pull two chairs next to each other facing the fish tank and we laugh and eat cookies while we watch the fish suck rocks up with their mouths and place them elsewhere, into various mounds ------
------ that was it for the dream but the news i mentioned earlier is that 'puny' is going on a tour down south, all the way to new orleans with their friends annie enneking, daniel bonespur, and hand sand hands and the tour is called 'the make me feel good' tour and daniel bonespur made a video with the details embedded inside of it that you can see if you click on the tour's name above - so come check out a show, and of course there will be new music that wasn't even on puny's most recent album the sports store

croton!

(same copy and paste trick that you're probably used to by now with that exclamation point and these parentheses and i think a new keyboard might be in the mail but i'm not sure)
