Just having a lazy Sunday morning lie in which has just spilled into the afternoon. I'm gonna get up and get something to eat now. I hope everyone's
well and happy, or at least happyish.

listened to 1973 08 18 Copenhagen yesterday; 2 hour show, pretty good sound, great long Dupree's Paradise, a rare BrownShoes for this band and w/ JLP,
Farther O'Blivion has a long Bebop Tango section with no vocals in it instead of the usual drum solo; thru half the tape the drums are a bit muddy and
the overall sound is tinny even with the bass way up... but great rare versions. Village of the Sun is in fine rare form + somewhat different than
the Roxy version...
Today I listen to 1980 05 06 Columbus, Ohio. Also a 2 hour show and very different; but the peaks are all distorted and takes retreating on the bass a
lot, and it's probably a hockey rink so there's a bit of echo on the vocals and bass drum sections, leaving the whole thing sounding like a hollow
spacebulb. This show is special though because it gives a taste of the spring's outing and the material they were preparing for their Mudd Club debut
in two days : like Outside Now, City of Tiny Lights, A Pound For A Brown, a great Pick Me I'm Clean/Easy Meat ~ for twenty minutes...
yesterday also I heard a noise outside in the morning I did not recognize. It was hundreds of joggers, as far up and down the street that I could see,
all running up to half a marathon, to raise money for the local Health Care Access. Free health care for people who qualify. Hundreds if not more all
jogging down my street on their route most of the morning long. Nice thing to see. So I went out and clapped for awhile and then went back inside.

Aw that's sweet.
Found a 1960s reprint of a 1930s Go Fish game Philips issued to make lightbulbs more popular. It has awesome graphics!
In the mean time we're clearing the house. We're getting a new heating installation soon.

Heating? We're approaching winter down here and just had our first taste of it this week. I prefer this time of year but that doesn't stop me getting
a wee bit blue from time to time as the days close in.

Is it cold or are you having snow as well?
Been making a lot of Celtic knots, they're very neat to do!

Elections here on Sept 12.
...This round was at least as unprofessional but nowhere near as funny as the LPF fiasco in 2002.

yesterday listened to
1988 02 06 NYC : sound good to good plus, a very responsive audience; a complete packard goose with the Bartok bit in the middle. The kids were there
so they came up and did stuff. Dweezil on Whippin post, diva and ahmet on dancing. A two hour show, seemed shorter.
Mowed the lawn. i'm thinking about changing my name and telling the idjits on the zforum how stoopid they are. So disappointing. The thing is they
think they might be waging a culture war. The war is over. We're still fighting though over the scraps of what's left. So sad.

Makes you wish you could've been there.
Managed to score a guy's phone number. Now to figure out what to do with it.

the show?: yes
the forum?: no
today's listening
1980 06 08 Dortmund. So far, City/Pound For a Brown are longer improv pieces. Great live romps and Frank pushes the envelope again and again but the
rest of the band seem less engaged. Of course, I'm silly enough to think Frank woulda been better off putting out a whole bunch of long improvs from
this tour rather than what came out in Tinseltown Rebellion or the first disc of YCDTOSA3. For example, in addition to the regular string of YAWYI
songs, "If Only She Woulda" gets a bunch of solos and is fun.

...I still believe the nice people should unite. Which I believe happens in topics like What Happened To You Today in Randomonium, which gets no
negativity.
Still I need to get one of my FZ-related ideas off the ground. Just remind me of it occasionally.

No snow here Bonny, ever. In fact I don't think it's ever been below zero celsius. Mind you, cold is relative. Once you get below 15° it's easy to get
a chill if you don't rug up.

Went to see him in person. It was a nice warm day and the entire crew at the giveaway store was sitting outside enjoying themselves. He was racing
around on his skateboard and managed to jump over a barstool on it. Will call him to get a more personal chat, am still not sure what to make of him.

Yeah. At one point I went inside. Last week he had his arm in a sling because of a skating accident: dislocated shoulder. This time around he didn't
got injured. I did, while I was helping him pulling sticky stuff from a ramp so he could use it to skate on. Thumb got trapped between ramp and wall.
Anyway it seems like he's begging the gods to injure him so I can Florence Nightingale over him. No thank you.

Went to visit my frient in Nijmegen today, had dinner with him.
We cooked spaghetti with carlic, onions and bacon together. I cut the onions.
Anyway since he didn't have any sauce (that's no problem for me btw) he decided to use mushroom-flavoured instant soup to make a sauce.
It was not a bright idea, but it took tasting to find out why: bacon is very salty on its own, and so is instant soup. Put those together and voilą,
instant high blood pressure.
Before visiting him, I went to a second-hand store, where I bought a CD-i. When I arrived at his place, I discovered the disk wasn't in the box, so I
asked him to go back to the little shop with it.
And on the way back in the train I heard a loud beep. It came from a man in a booth in front of mine. He'd brought his smoke detector with him: it had
broken down and he had taken it to his father to get it fixed. He couldn't turn it off and for the next few minutes, any serious conversation was
impossible. He did manage to silence it... eventually, not after we all complentated on leaving it in the trash can as a prank.
Fun times.
