Mr. Jim, Mr. Alex, Mr. Dave, Mr. Bill, Mr. Wheel, Miss Rachael, and Mr. Mark, do we have the energy, means, freedom of schedule, and location to have a party in the NY area next Saturday that would include all of you, and yours, and as many as five or six people I might invite? Maybe we will, maybe we won't. Either way, hope to see all of you during a visit bringing me to the area 26-31 Aug.
Not sure whether or not he's hooked up and so therefore this message is almost like smoke, released in semi-readable puffs, to be read from a distance, but if the wind's too strong what good will it be? Of course, if there was wind I might not even be writing this. How very enigmatic. How mysterious.
The search for oneself and that ultimate purpose, if one is lucky, is a search carried out till the dying day. The search is the end, not the means to it. And like smoke in many ways.
That idea of getting out of the rat race and stopping to smell the poppys, is a good one, but let's not let it rule us. Often there are dissenting factors to consider.
Jim, who are you talking to, and what the hell are you trying to say?
Fair question.
Magee. Magee. Magee. Not to rush you across the country or anything, or to interfere with the time you might spend with parents in Houston (forecast for next week 95, 95, 95, 96, 95, 95), but repeat after me, "Mom, Dad, love you, not always, but in the end, however, gotta go, bye." Get to New Orleans, great town, fascinating, historic, culturally rich, there's the French Quarter, Garden District, St. Charles Ave., Uptown, Downtown, Bywater, Fabourg Marigny, Fabourg St. John, the Bayou St. John, Treme, Mid-City, City Park, Audubon Park, Tulane, Loyola, Xavier, see that guy there, sells crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, good guy, and that guy over there does the same thing but he's an asshole, by the way the forcast for NO this next week is 97, 95, 98, 97, 95.
Magee, can you hear me? Hey, hey, hey, are you listening? We need to get out of this part of the country and up towards that NY area where they've been having sex with the seventies all summer long.
Mark, Mark, come in Mark...
just placed my first kozmo.com order. their movie selection isnt very big but i managed to find something. i was almost more curious to see if they could navigate my difficult delivery scenario (no buzzer, no number)than anything else. some decent junkyfoody munchies options but no bubbly water or soymilk. nice that you can place an order and specify an hour window to receive it. ill keep you posted on the outcome.
Here's the live webcam of the Pacific Northwest Lego Train Club's attempt to break the world record for longest lego train layout. Here's a page of photos of the same. They are setting it up inside the Seattle Center. Serious geekery. (from /.)
Went to see Neil Young last night @ Jones Beach. No beer sold here ! Drove from JC over the bayone bridge to Staten Island expwy to belt pkwy to southern state pkwy. Cleaned the return trip at midnight in one hour.Super excelent sound system and it was net broadcasted as well.
The pretenders opened. CH looks the exact same as when I saw her 20 years ago! They finished up with Neil's "The Needle".
Neil's touring with I guess you'd call it the family band. Wife and Sister on back up vocals and back up hippy groove dancing (the sister is HOT) plus keyboard, drum, peddle steel, bass and NY. Mentioned that steel peddle guys been with him 30 yrs and the rest averaging 10 or so. These people have names and I do them a diservice not to mention them.
Opened with "Motor Cycle Momma" and the sister really wailed. The sound guy must have turned her down after that but it was a nice blast while it lasted. Lots of acoustic and electric but it all really cooked. "Harvest Moon" got a big pop from the new upper deck croud 'cause they alone could see an early H M coming up from behind the stage. Neil kept asking every one how they were doing and that he was good. He noted that last time he was here that there was no upper deck and that all those people would have been up in the sky for another big upper deck croud pop.
I really dug "Walk On", they worked it for it's full rockin' potential.
They played from 9:15 to almost midnight.
Let me dig arround the NY news group for a set list and I'll be back in a while with sumore.
I'm gushing cause it was my first NY show.
