Urban Witch - from Abraxas

Aug 23, 2009 09:03

We are people of the cities, of high streets, fast food, and all night supermarkets. Neon signs are far more likely to shine from our eyes than the stars. We search, reach for what’s missing, the mind straining for that melody, blown by a hot puff of exhaust to the edge of forgotten....

Pretentious nonsense, I know. But I'm going to be in print! I got a call from Christina at Treadwell's saying they had four pages left to fill at the end,and she really liked my blog, did I have anything? I said yes, then spent the next four hours trying to bash something out. The result was a 400 word piece thats sort of on nostalgia and the importance of mystery. Buy the Journal and read it, not because of me, but because of all of these amazing people.
