Send us Fan MailChris Isaak, Cabernet, and the Great "Aunt" Infestation 🍷🐜Prepare for a moody, reverb-drenched journey into the heart of travel-induced madness! This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, Jill brings Chris Isaak’s 1993 album, San Francisco Days, to the table. While the album is full of smooth, lonely-boy rock and pining lyrics, it serves as the ultimate trigger for Jill to recount her latest "stranded in paradise" nightmare. Forget the romantic fog of the Bay Area; we’re talking about a flight cancellation that left Jill marooned in California wine country with nothing but a suitcase and a rapidly deteriorating sense of reality.The episode descends into a high-stakes survivalist documentary as Jill describes her time stranded amongst the vineyards, where she was forced to deal with the two most formidable "A" forces in nature: Ants and Aunts. We listen in horror (and fits of laughter) as she details the literal ant infestation in her temporary quarters. It’s a tale of double-vision and double-trouble, where Jill had to determine which was harder to get rid of—the tiny insects crawling on the floor or to visit more wineries.As the melancholic sounds of Chris Isaak provide the perfect "I’m stuck in a luxury prison" soundtrack, the crew debates the logistics of wine-country-exile. Was the Cabernet enough to dull the pain of the Ant-Ant-Ant cycle? How many glasses of Pinot does it take to start hallucinating that the insects are actually harmonizing with "Wicked Game"? Most importantly, after a saga involving closed airports, family interventions, and a very confused rental car agent, we are left with the ultimate cliffhanger: Does Jill ever actually make it home, or is she still wandering the rolling hills of Napa, being chased by a swarm of sugar-starved insects and well-meaning maternal figures? Tune in for the most harrowing travelogue we’ve ever recorded!website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: (978) 310-1613
