Another concert!

Hey, Shack fans! This is Hobo Bob, posting again after a very exciting week!
You see, as I mentioned in the last post, Ritchie, the lead singer and bongo player of the famous hobo band Ritchie and the Overnight Park Stayers, invited me to play another concert with him at the famous Hobodome after the great success of the last concert I had had with the band.
Suffice to say, I was nervous, but I think I overcame that fairly quickly. Since I had memorized all of his songs, he didn't have to teach me anything. I played guitar, a little bass, and sang some backup lyrics in the 17 songs that we played.
A music reviewer named Lenny produced a review of the concert in the Hobo Gazette (our weekly newspaper here in Hobo Town). Here is an excerpt:

RITCHIE CONCERT ROCKS HOBODOME
by Lenny SlavoƂyski
On a Sunday afternoon, several thousand concertgoers gathered at the Hobodome for what they expected to be a normal Ritchie and the Overnight Park Stayers concert.
It wasn't. Someone else was joining in on the glory.
Hobo Bob of Hobo Town, Alabama played with Ritchie at this memorable concert after Ritchie invited him to.
"I had no idea that it would turn out to be this," said Bob, clearly happy about having so many fans.
And indeed he did. The group and Bob rocked though the 17 songs that were played there. Several favorites of mine included the smash hits 'If I Had A Crowbar' and 'Cardboard (The Only Thing I Know)', and the new single, 'Train Time'.
It really was tremendous, and you could hardly hear the band over all of the cheering...

I don't think I need to tell you that it went well.
In other news, I have added some improvements to the blog.
First of all, the language translator. This translates my blog into tons of different languages for the viewing pleasure of people who do not speak English.
And second of all, there is the Hobo Bob world map. This shows where in the world people who come here are. So far I have somebody from Lille, France, and somebody from Bat Yam, Israel. I hope many different people from many different countries come!

Why dosn't Hobo Bob got to the homless shelter? He could sell his computer for some money. Or he could get a job.

My computer says your website is fraudulent, is it true?

Hobo Bob said...

Fraudulent?
Not that I know of.

Why would I want to sell my computer? I wouldn't be able to post on my blog.

San Fran, sweeet!!! So, I'm rockin' the new tricked box i got at the dump, it's fridge size! I don't know if all you guys have the fridge size, but whatev! You should all check out the closest dump, you can get lots of flippin' sweet stuff! Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but, I met this guy at the dump, and he was all like, "Hey, hobo lady! Got this TV fo' you. Comes with all the service and stuff! I'm going green, don't need this anymore!" and I was all like, "Sweet!", so now I got this flippin' TV! I also found this dye, so now my hair's purple, pink and green! Check it!
