Went to the Steeplechase with the dogs early and I learned that it’s the only public horse track in the U.S. The dogs were wet and tired. Went home and Josh was awake and I asked him if he wanted an omelet but he had a doctor’s appointment and he wasn’t supposed to have food. He played me some songs from his ipod, one was a band called The Clientele which was very cool. Another thing I really liked was a collaboration between Zero 7 and somebody else. It was very good, too. We had breakfast at Frothy Monkey after he went to the doc, then I went to a meeting at Big Yellow Dog. I really like them and I hope we can do a deal. Then I had to get ready for my Tin Pan South round, so I made some tea and started practicing the piano, but it was miserable because I’m so out of shape on the piano, it would have taken me weeks to learn four songs. Plus, the songs i’m doing now have lots of hard chords and that makes it worse, so I gave up and just decided to play the guitar, which made me disappointed in myself, but as they say, you gotta pick your battles. The round went well, and afterwards went to P.M. with Angelo, Eulene, Troy Verges, Jessica Maros, David Mead, Dave Berg, and Dave’s girlfriend I later found out is a gifted muralist, and I was telling HER about painting murals! Step One: Insert foot in mouth. The party moved over to Angelo and Eulene’s and Angelo was taking all these polaroids of everyone (see below) and we were cracking up a lot. But the downside was I drank too much and by the time I got home it was 2 AM and I was really buzzed.
