So you know those Ferlinghetti tickets? Well, apparently, when I was mentioning them in the entry I wrote last night, HE WAS FUCKING READING!!! That's right - for some reason, I'd gotten it into my head that he was speaking today, Friday, when in fact he was speaking Thursday. The first clue came when we got to Campbell Hall tonight and it was COMPLETELY empty.
True, I'm sad that I missed out on getting to hear him (he's 87 - he probably won't be around much longer), and I totally wasted that $20, but what annoys me the most is that I did it at all. I'm normally so good about remembering dates and not mixing that sort of thing up. Is this a sign that I'm getting old??? I feel all weird about it - I'm a little sad/depressed, a little angry, a little frustrated with myself, and a little amused at the entire situation.
I'm going to make damn sure I don't miss "The Goat."
