also ran into Shane, who gave me a We Are More pin.
Of everyone I know, Lung loves it best when I'm unemployed. He comes by almost daily to shake things up. It's downright wonderful. Yesterday he met up with me and Michelle for tea, (her new seeing eye dog is adorabibble), then for a drive out to her place, where she showered us with books and gave me a simple air cast, so I can walk around without regularly collapsing in a sprained heap. Next week I'm going to start going out to her place to help her clean.
Today we're going to visit Dominique and her tiny daughter, then drop in downtown to soak in some of the Olympics excitement and meet up with Mishka, who has a 4:oo Mariachi gig at Robson Square, playing on the stage downstairs next to the rink. The Olympics have been an exciting time for her - she's going to be playing with Dan on CBC on Friday. I talked with her about it on the phone last night before their first rehearsal and it was absolutely lovely to hear just how far she's over the moon! I'm always delighted when my friends connect, and even more when it tickles them so. Fingers crossed I'll have the chance to take photos at their gig. (David told me after that I missed Dan and Shane being silly at Chapters yesterday, which was a bit of an damnit! moment, but then we got the ginger ice-cream out and the world was alright again.)
Later this evening, 8 pm later, Jess Hill will be playing at Cafe Monmarte with Erica Mah. Even though I'm not sure Lung is game for it, I know Ray will be, so I'm guaranteed to go. She's amazing. You should go too!
