(no subject)

i had a fitful night sleep... partially because of the stress of the eventful (but fun) day preceding,
but mostly, i think, because of the little click inside that tells living things that Summer has handed the sceptre over to Autumn, and time has come to prepare for, or become dormant for, or die for Winter. it's strange, yesterday was an overcast and rainy Summer day and today is an overcast and rainy early-Fall day.

the meetup with Alex and Ethan (object_holder and tnt_yow) went astonishingly well, we got along and had some fun 'schmoozing'. i took them up to Rollins Pass where i believe i found the Velvet Foot (Flammulina velutipes) -- i haven't formally ID'ed it yet -- but otherwise very little in the way of mushrooms.

later we ate at Dushanbe Tea House and then hit Bart's CD Cellar, where i convinced one of them to buy King Crimson's "Discipline" and the other to buy Hugo Largo's "Mettle" -- so, see? i've increased the amount of good in the world, right there!

on the way home, i had to speak to the police, having witnessed a low-speed fender bender that i myself was almost involved in physically. yipes.

PS: unfortunately, i forgot to take photos! :(
(not of the accident, of the meetup!)

a day off

i had originally scheduled myself as available to take tomorrow off because it looked more likely that Ethan and Alex could meet on Monday, instead we ended up meeting Saturday... but the allure of having a "vacation" day off was too tempting to resist, so i'm taking tomorrow off. well alright!

initial plans include working on the remix i promised Lutz of Tarkatak way back. whenever it was, a year ago or more. i am anxious to get something accomplished toward that goal.

however, the invitation remains open to those two fellers to come over tomorrow, and i could probably throw up a few mics and record some sort of improv-type sound event.

who knows?
