blasts in iraq
shock at how easy astounding things can just happen.
rufus was such a fantastic thing last night. i'm not much of a fan of watching a concert from a seat, but this was just right. the acoustics in the kimmel center could not have been better. you could tell that rufus was feeding off the environment and that made everything all the more fantastic. he did not play the song(s) which i was most hoping to hear (damned ladies or imaginary love or the consort) he played a ton of older songs which was terrific. he kept saying most of his songs didn't really fit a positive love theme so...
we did not know until we were seated that our seats were 6th row, dead center. i think his singing of rebel prince was the highlight song of the evening for me.
add in a pinch of pre-concert snow, and walking to that post-show Foodery 'john'. then when you rolled out that drawing paper after midnight i wanted to outline your body on it. maybe we'll pick that up later.
silly infomercial, i made you laugh until your cheeks hurt.
and apparently i can center clay on the spinning wheel pretty well. and i am surprised at how seriously you took that whole basket of things. i really liked the joint and i will go back there with you. i guess it's fitting that we'll see how these creations will set once the kiln is fired up.
the free food was not enough to offset the free wine. and probably most i smiled at the closing bar requests you made. and later, walking from quarry st., your affinity for long walking was easy to roll with. i'm sure your questioning words had much to do with that ease for me oddly enough. your admiration in the swell of such difference is both endearing and puzzling. and yes i think the guy buying everyone shots at www.nationalmechanics.com/ did do you in.
a few days in and i find myself needing a break, and when i have it i want less of that break. binx needs food afterall.
write the rest off. the fact that we had breakfast alone on the ballroom floor where george washington danced with (seduced?) ben franklin's daughter should be a post in itself. i ate the leftover biscuit on the train ride back uptown.
