Wise MadnessOh, good, I’m starting to write before 10:00. I once again did not get enough sleep and will have to pay for it and some time but now I’m feeling fine. I just have to be awake to see Anaïs Mitchell doing Hadestown tonight. I’ve had tickets since they went on sale but I don’t […]
I didn’t go out yesterday, that means a writing challenge today. It’s always easy to find things to write about when I’m not writing The question is can I do it under pressure? We’ll find out. I can write about dinner, it was the best I’ve made in a while, just roasted chicken and potatoes […]
I was a dirty-stay-out-late, as my parents would say, partying to all hours of the night. I was at the Hudson West Folk Festival volunteer party.
Yesterday’s highlight was seeing a photography show featuring, among others, BriBri Dougherty. Normally I use just their first name but this is a professional reference so I use both. My Gentle Readers know Bri as my great friend and Budgiedome partner in musician wrangling, Paul calls her the Gordon wrangler. There are not many people that I’d travel to Newark from therapy in Harrison for. Bri is well worth three hours.
I didn’t finish writing about NERFA but it’s time to move on to John Platt’s On Your Radar. I usually begin by saying, “It’s the second Tuesday of the month, you know what that means.” But it hasn’t meant John Platt’s On Your Radar since July. Like psychiatrists and teachers, OYR takes August off. In […]
I’ll wrap up the NERFA reporting today. This is going to come from many different directions, that’s good as NERFA comes from many different directions. It’s going to start with a CT Scan, don’t worry, I won’t spend too much time on that. My gastroenterologist ordered a CT scan aka CAT scan and I scheduled […]
Time to plunge in and start writing about NERFA. I’m going to be useful to the folk community and write about the artists I discovered at showcases.
Here’s how my Election Day went.
It’s a dreary day today, it matches my dreary mood; that may or may not be a coincidence. My best guess is that it’s a contributing but not deciding factor. That’s the way these things usually work. I could write about the things I’m beating myself up over, topped at the moment by not working […]
Marty couldn’t use his ticket to see Anna & Elizabeth and The Low Anthem at Zankel Hall. The only reason I didn’t have a ticket for that was that I couldn’t afford it. Not a fan of The Low Anthem but I love Anna & Elizabeth. I couldn’t say yes fast enough. Not only did I get to go, I got to sit in the front row. This show was a big deal, Zankel Hall is part of Carnegie Hall, its ultra-cool basement auditorium.
