quick as cats
Merde, I yet breathe! In the last two weeks, I've driven to Pennsylvania in three days and flown back. This is after co-throwing Arizona's largest spoken word festival and saying goodbye to too many people I've loved in my fierce curled-claw way. On the spontaneous roadtrip, I was able to see my lovely Chicago, if only for a few stolen hours, during which I yelled out the window to various passerby, giving what I thought was positive encouragement (i.e., "You keep on keepin' McCormick Place!"). I realised how much I missed my City when we drove past the Art Institute, and I wanted to climb all over the stone lions and get lost in my favourite Picasso, "Old Man with Guitar" and as much Monet as possible. There wasn't enough time, so I had to make do with a meal at my favourite Delware eatery, Mrs. Park's Tavern and a quick-stop for cheap aviator sunglasses and obnoxious, dangly earrings at H&M.
There's much to say and many chronicles that have been started by hand, but I've been having an attack of malaise. It sometimes happens when I've done too much and suddenly have empty spaces and quiet where once was movement and sound. There's no reason for it, but that I've lived a lot of lives in a few weeks' time and learned numerous lessons. This weekend, I am going to write about Slab City Slam, finding love, the roadtrip, my best friend logan's visit, and the next step I am taking in my life. Driving long distances through various lands brought a clarity that I'd only before touched. I'd begun this process with January's events and am continuing forward from that starting point. These things will be revealed with all the rest soon.
A love-rock bit of news in the meantime is that I am going to be performing at the Club Congress in Tucson on July 21, along with Tucson bands One Eye Open and the Winelords as well as my pals Flam Chen (a fire-performance troupe) and Midriff Crisis (a hip-shakin' belly-dancing troupe). O, yeah, logan will be tearing up the stage. In one of his letters last week, "Lynxface," he said, "I feel like you and me can take over the world." We will. There's huge projects we're stirring, not unlike our collaboration for Friday night at Slab City.
Right now, though, instead of world domination, I'm going to find the fresh cherries I purchased at the farmer's market yesterday, and I am going to show them my teeth. I like fresh fruit and the coming summer even more. There's a hint of possibility in the air, and I think I like it very much, even as I work through this down mood. What's new with everyone else? What's the prospects?
