Music at the bayshore house – Jan 8th

last week
so, on friday at 6pm headed out to the dali museum in st pete… to see tom carabasi play drums with a jazz band. he wore his brazil soccer shirt, so i presume the music was mostly brazilian, at least in his mind… saw dali at twelve years old doing festival posters and line drawings of the witches in cadaques. then on to the vinoy with cheri, tara, and sheila, and tom. and yes, i think that there should be a comma before the “and”. so there. “i have a really bad bug bite on my ankle, do you have any tea tree oil?” says sheila, “when i went out to the fire…” ok, where where we? lets get back to friday….
oh, the vinoy- doesn’t it remind you of a lounge on a cruise liner? and what a spectacular night time view of the bay, and the st pete pier- seriously, yes, and the acoustics in the lounge are really good, comfortable seating, and a jazz band? didn’t they join us for a drink and a snack? the trumpet player was quite amazing – loved his playing. to make a long story short, headed over the bridge, the big one, with the unpainted-for-ten-years cable by ten pm- can’t miss it, and i really want to know why. did somebody in the highway department screw the wrong persons wife? what could possibly explain the inability to complete a paint job on 28 (i’m guessing) cables in ten years… surely the swiss have designed a bridge cable painting machine – hmmm-
then ivy, yet another opening night club in sarasota, seems to be a run of them… with a huge turnout, you could really get a glimpse of what a local looks like, that was definitely not tourists, that was some local sarasota money walking in there. you have wrap it up.. did we go somewhere welse after that? we dropped the girls off and spent a couple hours then off to bed early. there was a party the nest day.
saturday: erica turns 18, which fact i didn’t realize until i got to the recital at 2pm with edward- she put on an awesome set, which is up, or will be in a few hours at http://ericareynolds.com.
and then, a marvelous party at my cute girl zeros house, the high point of which was daniel, just in from germany, who brought a newly produced track which everyone quite enjoyed dancing to- in fact we had six or seven people speaking german, followed by a transcendental breakfast in bed, swimming, and dancing till very sweaty at the drum circle, and so on. two visitors from vienna, and a light up frisbee in the dark.

what’s in a name?
in several nearly unrelated phenomena this past week the power of a name has been revealed to me.
1. say this out loud: HD DVD
now way this out loud: Blu-Ray
with not much functional difference, which would you put your money on to succeed in the market? Perhaps germane, the terms BetaMax and VHS.
2. Religionism – the last great ism. now that sexism, racism, classism, and the unremembered others are becoming unfashionable, it’s high time that religionism receives the scrutiny it deserves. christians do it, hindus do it, muslims do it, and everybody smiles and says that’s their right you know, separation of church and state and all. think about it. they get a fucking exemption from having to obey the law? enshrined in the constitution? destroy the separation of church and state and look at religion for what it really is, discrimination on the basis of a belief in the supernatural. makes racism look really smart, doncha think?
3. Foleygate- all inherent irony aside, the term has a real ring. now, comingle the references and imagine richard nixon covering up a penchant for young men… what’s really on the missing tapes?

the lost gospels of judas
this has been in the news of late, and the finest thing to arise from the whole foofaraw in my humble opinion is this here - tell me it isn’t so – i dare you.

events
Strange happenings: had a meeting with a client during which he almost hit me he was so out of control. guess i’m dropping him. the bayshore house is as beautiful as ever, the crickets are heavy, the drainage pump from the development across the street kept us company this evening of national night out…
i interviewed for a job as stage manager for four shows at the newly renovated asolo theater up the street.
ms. k is on the street in mexico city – she sends this dispatch: “Meanwhile, the largest street in mexico city has become a giant campground with yoga everyday at 8 am and black beans cooked over fires and dancing at all hours. I fucking love this city….i’m never going home.”
thank the universe for all of our good luck.
