Did some errands and went to lunch with Melissa Mathes and she bought me lunch and it rained really hard and the Baja burrito guy was chasing the umbrellas around the parking lot. It was beautiful to look out the window because you can see an uncharacteristically long way from there. I helped her sort of make a set list for tomorrow’s showcase. She took me to the bank and the pet store and it was finally raining. Thank gosh. Home and went to dinner with B and H and the Neels, the sort of directors of Al Gore’s climate project. Very interesting people. Good dinner, and everybody was talking about the night the wall came down in East Germany and I want to keep more tabs on current events. I think I should subscribe to the Economist. First the New Yorker, then maybe. Played Ping Pong and went home.
Got my Bees T-Shirt! Love it! It’s beautiful. I’m so proud. I’m glad to pay the 20 bucks for a thicker better quality one like it then the two 10 dollar Josh Rouse one’s I got that are flimsy. No offense to Josh. I love Josh. He may not be the most dynamic performer in the world, but when he gets into the studio, wow!
I bought a Marshall Crenshaw album on Emusic, and he had a cover of that Prince song “Take Me With U” , and I forgot how much I love that song, and Prince in general.
I want a NYTimes , Wall St Journal Sub first, then all the guitar mags, and PC Mag, but the New Yorker wouldn’t be bad. I love that writer Seymour Hersch.
