and the visitors keep coming..
1. thursday kate bracken and those transatlantics and braille swung into pittsburgh for a show and we went to the james street jazz tavern and ate cajun food and laughed really hard and had a big breakfast and they were so kind and lovely.
2. friday i was whisked away to the purple door festival in lewisberry, pa by erica, israel, morgan and phil because they called me and said, "are you coming?" and i said "i dont think so" and they said, "why not?" and i said, "well, i dunno?" and they said, "then you should come."
3. so they came and picked me up and we went and anathallo put iz, erica and i on their guest list so we went for free! and i made all these new friends that i had heard about but never met and we camped crammed like sardines in a tent and i didnt sleep at all but in the morning dani and i went and stood in the waterfall river and told our stories and there was fog and bunnies everywhere.
4. i got to talk to denison for a little while and the brothers danielson wife and two beautiful daughters, lilly and ida. (i told ida i liked her name very much and the mom said, "we actually pronounce it the norwegian way, "eeeda".) perfect.
5. we drove back to pittsburgh and 13 of us crashed at 4am and in the morning i made bigbig omelettes and then they said that i should come with them back to michigan because i was trying to figure out how that was going to happen, so once again in a last minute flurry i packed and we drove to lansing and then phil drove me home and i slept like someone had drugged me.
now to seeing a few friends and hopefully heading to mt pleasant and grandmas house and somehow back to pittsburgh although who knows how yet. gosh i think i just needed to be plucked out of the city and taken to the country and driven to michigan. and i didnt know how badly i needed whatever these last couple of days were but they happened and i am blessed!
