I can confirm that the owner of Molly's Jim Monaghan (I may have
misspelled his last name) saw Alex on Wednesday and he was fine,
according to his employee Mike who saw him (I called there a minute
ago and asked). The phone number has been working there, but not some
places. I believe this is the point at which we should realize that
Alex is ok and we should at this point just leave it be and let him do
whatever he's in the middle of dealing with but that he is ok. Thanks
patrick!

Whew. Thanks so much, Chris.

Alex is too cool (and crusty) to not have survived the nation's worst natural disaster.

I mean, afterall, he survived Panther Burns...

Seriously, I hope everything is okay with him.

By the way, Mississippi is still reeling too — even though New Orleans is getting the most press coverage. It will be a long time before any of us recover. As for N.O., I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the people I know and trying to focus on remembering all the great shows I've seen and times I've had down there.
