Welcome!

Come in, dust yourself off, get your shoulders down from around your ears and find a comfy couch, that one over there is good. Here's some pillows. Yup, we're burning clandles and incence all the time, even when it's sunny out, like right now. Here's an ottoman for your feet. How about a nice single malt? We've got The Balvenie. Or an orange soda with vanilla ice? Here, taste these cucumber sandwiches. Don't they look yummy?Absolutely delicious. I told you so. Later there'll be some people from upstairs, you know, from the practice room. We'll make Misu play the cello. In the meantime, what will it be: Ahead of All Parting by Rilke is a recommendation, or some Yeats for a pleasant afternoon? There you go, enjoy. No, no, that's quite alright. Just kick back and relax. We love having you here.

Yard Sale, Bumbershoot & Zero 7, and a lazy Monday



Sat around in the cooling shade of trees, drank Cadillac Mountain, haggled with customers and let the heat fill up my bones all of blue-hot Saturday. Sold two van loads of material burdens, called too much stuff I like and don't need, made a mint and financed Sunday aaaall day Bumbershoot. Amazing bazaars -bought a white cotton shirt from India and a basket made by a widowed women cooperative in Ghana. The crowning glory of the day: Zero 7. Brilliantly creative, perfect blend of old and new (i.e. acoustic and electronic) moving vocals, excellent song structure. An exciting band that mixes serious music with hilarious/kooky on-stage behavior. It says everything about a band when you'd rather hear their new material, than your favorite songs from the previous record. Sunday, lazed in bed, snuggling till 11:30. Just one meeting with accountants in an, otherwise, uninterrupted day of lazing. And it's not over yet.
