Hammer Down

OK, here's how I heard it: "Hammer," our set builder and the dude who plays the Dark Knight in our field show, is in the Hoosgow!
He took "Broadzilla," a tall bike, out on the town with no head lamp. (this bike's seat is above an adult's head)
The cops pulled him over, and after writing him a ticket, discovered a warrant he had in Bend, OR, for bar brawling.
Some of the Clown House gang were down the street, and spotted our beloved Broadzilla surrounded by police, so they went to investigate, not knowing how or why our bike was at Killingsworth and Albina, or who was on it.
They were gonna tow the bike, and wouldn't release it to Roadkill and Reddish.
The cop asked, "What's the serial number?"
"5."
"5?"
"It's the fifth one Toaster built, so it's number five."
Reddish Radish posed the question, "How will you put it on your car?"
The officer looked at the bike, and then her, and then agreed that they sould bring our horse back to the corral.Thanks, y'all!
NOW:
I know a bunch of you folks that read my blog know Hammer, and know he is a helluva dude who always has time for both kid and dog. He thinks about his friends and always chooses to do the right thing ... except, I guess, when he is in Bend, dancin around in the mud, & the blood and the beer. (We all go through it, I understand.)
If YOU want to make fun of his Summer vacation plan, write to his dumb ass :

Michael Murrin
c/o Deschutes County Jail
63333 hwy 20 west
Bend, OR.

I don't know the zip. I got the address on a wet napkin, in the rain, from his girlfriend who was on a bus and I was on a bike, written in lip stick.
But it appears to be the right info. So write to the guy, and ask him what kind of bird in Deschutes County can't fly? (a jail bird).

next gig: Geek Fest, July 15th!
