Editor's Note: Ron, a familiar face to regulars in Red Elvises online fandom, is on the road with the Elvises at the moment, and has been kind enough to send us little mini-reports. Thanks, Ron!

Hello every one! I miss you all!
It's Monday afternoon in Albuquerque, NM. I've been very busy since arriving in CA last Tuesday. We have boon shows in Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, and Santa Fey! even though it's only been 4 shows it seems a lot longer!
We are having a most excellent adventure, and have only 41 more shows to do (Vlad added two more) in the next 6 weeks! I hope I can maintain.
I am running a rather high tech lighting system with 4 "intelligent lights" 2 smaller fixed pattern lights, 2 fog machines, and 4 bubble machines!!! (Oleg bought two more) It's a bit tricky, but I think in the next few shows I will have it pretty much down.
The new line up in the band is coming together quite nicely, every show gets a little bit tighter. Adam is a very good drummer, and an even nicer guy! Shramm is a very talented on the keys and accordion, and is really starting to get into the RE groove! He just purchased a tenor sax on the road, and will hopefully use it in tonight's show!
Well Gotta go, I have an hour to catch a nap before tonight's show.
Take Care, and hope to see you in a town near you soon!
Rok On!

Hi Every One!
Had less time than I thought (duh!) to keep everyone updated! We're in Orlando and it's 7 pm. we got here at 3 pm and have 5 hours free time. I called my mom and kids than shaved my head again! It seems to work! What do you think? (Thanks Susanna).
It's quite the experiance and have been keeping a journal for the upcoming book! Seems like a month, been 2 weeks! I have been eating well and taking care of myself, walking every morning, and smoking less, It's hard to quit when you work in bars!
Well, need to catch a nap before the show, Take care and be well.
Ron, RE, redron, Comerade Lennon, husbond, son, bro, father, and friend!
