September Newsletter

Hello and thank you for being one of my wonderful newsletter subscribers!

What's new since my last updates? 

Hmmmm.... Well, I went to Lollapalooza last month. 

I rocked out (lol) to both Limp Bizkit and Journey. 

It was sooo much fun!  I hope to attend each year, for as long

as I still live in the Chicago area. 

Which brings me to the matter of where I live and am "based"....

Rumors have made their way back to me that some are saying I truly am from Holland and another that I currently live in Arizona and yet a third that I used to live in Detroit;

these are all completely untrue. 

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in Chicagoland my entire life.

Work-wise, I'm no longer based here and currently don't work in the area at all. 

As far as work goes, I do not have a base. 

I am only available on tour and by Fly (or Drive) Me to You arrangements. 

~I'm not from Amsterdam (my father is actually from the Netherlands but I was born in this country), nor do I live there. 

~I never lived in, nor have been based, in any state other than Illinois. 

~I did not move to Arizona or anywhere in the Southwest US. 

My Tryst and Preferred411 profiles currently list Amsterdam as my home only because those sites require a "base" location and it's too much for me to constantly update it. 

(Tryst did list Detroit as my base location for several months prior to that but besides my tours, I wasn't actually there.)

I do frequently change the cities listed on my TER profile, to show upcoming tour destinations. 

So I'm not from whichever city you see listed there, either lol.

I HAD planned to move to the Southwest last year but unfortunately, the pandemic changed that.   I'm still living approximately an hour from downtown Chicago and both airports.

My parents retired to Florida some years ago; their health is failing so there's a chance I might temporarily relocate there to assist them, but this remains to be seen. 

So unless I announce otherwise, you can expect to see me continue my usual touring.

I took the selfies just above and also below, this morning.  No filters. 

That's me and as recent as I'm ever likely to share.   

I'll post a few from this set of selfies on my site soon too. 

Why are almost all my pics in hotel rooms?

Because I like to be shown in my natural habitat. ;-P

Dates* below aren't my complete '21 schedule.

Things may change and a few dates have already changed since my last newsletter. 

I had to cancel Omaha in both July and August so now I'm trying to fit in before the end of this year but I don't have dates yet. 

Due to various issues, including the high cost of rental cars these days, I will be removing and/or decreasing my tours to a few places.

Lexington KY, Topeka KS and Columbus OH:

I am saying goodbye for now.  

Although I will continue to visit Kansas City as usual, I won't be able to return to Wichita this year. 

Once flight and rental car prices return to normal, I'll resume my Wichita visits.

Thank you all so much for your patience with my many changes! XOXOXO
