watching the tokey tones
Originally uploaded by sienna & christopher I should have known something was up when Chris, self-proclaimed hater of cell phones (especially his own), received a text from Scott in the middle of lunch at his mother's place. He angled it away from me when I tried to take a look, and I frowned at him over my pumpkin soup. He later sweet talked me into a stroll past the Essex Green and to Circus Circus for a hot chocolate; the air was icy. Boy, was I surprised to see Scott, Kiku and Li-Ming when we returned home. I stood and stared in useless shock as my friends - including the best friend and partner I could ever have imagined - turned our lounge into the smallest concert venue ever, and the Tokey Tones re-formed long enough to wish me a happy birthday. It makes twenty-seven that much more palatable. For posterity's sake:
Honeydew
Caterpillars and Butterflies
The Beach
Pulling Those Strings
Summertree
At my request, they also dredged their memories for lost chords and the words to "Glitter and Paste" and "Moon & So On."
(Thank you.)
