This is how you announce a tour
Jeff Kocan Monday, May 5, 2008 at 11:35 AM It's been almost ten years since I first saw Tom Waits in concert. I was in the back row of the Beacon Theatre here in New York, and at the start of the show, Tom burst through the back door - not five feet away - screaming through a megaphone and tossing handfuls of glitter into the crowd. That's correct: Tom Waits threw glitter on me.
This morning, Tom announced his 2008 Glitter and Doom Tour, as only he can (details here). I'm pondering a road trip. Who's in?

"screaming through a megaphone and tossing handfuls of glitter into the crowd."
Are you sure it wasn't Rip Taylor?
If I drove from Morgantown to New York to see Rip Taylor, I'll be pissed. Now I have check my ticket stub.
That's one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. (Love the new template.)
