ok so...

today so far has ruled
i did still have a fever when i woke up but - that did not deter me from early day errands and coffee with [livejournal.com profile] smallstages  whom i haven't seen in way too long considering how much she makes me laugh. "but [livejournal.com profile] smallstages  i am lost and soon to be broke and omg you're right and how did i not see it and hahahaha" there is me rolling on the ground laughing so hard at sometimes i don't even know what. she just makes it all better. so we braved the parts of town where a quarter in a meter gets you only 6 minutes and ate pig flesh and picked up things that were needed. i got to show her some of my favorite sf dorky places that i only go during the holidays and we got to laugh at ghost yuppies who bang into people and can't even tell because they are so disconnected from themselves. by the time i got home the cold was making itself very known but my mood was fighting back the full force of the ick. rooster took a break from her end of semester workity work work and we had some tasty no prep dinner and then i decided to pick up the squeezebox since [livejournal.com profile] vagabondageband  is playing three very new songs at the show on monday.

somehow i started playing with a plan of half an hour and now three hours is gone daddy gone. dayum. ended up rehearsing some numbers for the seattle show as well and feeling still nervous but also damn good about how that is gonna go. i'll be rolling solo and so gotta practice both vagabondage and rhubarb whiskey songs that usually have either dual or other person vocals on em. good times.

but especially cool was post practice i checked my email and found out this project i was a part of is officially rolling. it's called last book. it's an installation at the national museum in buenos aires with artists from 53 countries who submitted and it's supposed to be the last printed book - a comment on digitalization and internets and stuff like that. here is a youtube video of it. i just think its kinda rad to be part of something so international. neat!

Hi, do you want to get together sometime soon? If I can get Dickens costume stuff sorted pre-13th, I'll be available, which I noticed in my poll is also a date you are available! More folks want to come craft post-NYE but we could hang at my place, or come poke in your wardrobe and play DRESS UP and go to dinner or something!

Also ever since your appearance at the Dark Room I've wished I knew the words to your Concrete Blonde cover so I could have sung with you. We should sing together sometime.

I am! I plugged you on my LJ last night. :)

Looks like I am doing Dickens on Sunday, but Saturday is open for me.

I teach until 7 and will be back in Oakland around 730. Do you want to come my way around then? We could go get dinner pre-show if you were into that.
