The kitchen is open and it's time to getcha weight up.
For the most part, my visit to Baton Rouge was a great experience. I say for the most part because consistent headaches and overall restlessness hindered me from enjoying myself as much as I know I could have. 
sick_of_being_j (Jeremy) and
yesternight (Erin) are awesome folks. The time I spent in the company of J made it very clear to me that he was a caring, warm and down-to-earth person. Unfortunately, 99.9% time that I was in the presence of Erin, I was suffering from extreme exhaustion as a result of sleep deprivation. Those conditions seemed only to exacerbate as I spoke so I tried not to. I felt like a fucking zombie. But even through all of that, it was obvious that she shared Jeremy's warmth of character and wit. RBL-ODOC and whatnot.
seanp (Sean) was just as crunk as the last time I saw him and The Cocker Spaniels set was high quality.
He played two newer songs; "over-educated under-achiever" and "steal my guitar". The latter is, at the moment, my favorite song of all time. The fluidity of his fretting hand and the control over his palm muting had improved considerably since his show here in Memphis. Due to extreme technical difficulties, safety hazards and just about everything else that can go wrong, I didnt get a chance to truly experience Wilderness Pangs firsthand. Hopefully there will be a next time of some sort. Whether it's with Wilderness Pangs, Cockspan or solo, I'm quite eager to hear more eardrumming from Toussaint-Baptiste. I met
derelict_tiger (Clay) at the yard show in Baton Rouge too. I learned of him through
vitamin_love (Steffani) a long time ago. Since then, I would visit his journal every so often to admire his prose and read about his ventures through art school. A kickass human being, he is.
All in all, I enjoyed myself but between my physical state and the social problems I already have, I just didnt feel as open or loose as I know I could have been. It was always pretty easy to look distantly at Sean, J, Clay and Erin as some of Steffani's friends as opposed to our friends. But the more I learn about them, the harder it is to deny that...dem might be my peoples too.
