Rick Monday says...
I realize now, that I have been very negative and bitchy in my last two posts. I apologize.
Life is not all bad. In fact, it is mostly good.
I talked to my good friend Rich Sater in Denver last night. I think I am going out to Denver for NYE to see Yonder and Keller at the Fillmore. I am almost as excited to see Rich as I am to see the shows. Rich has a friend who works publicity at the Fillmore who got me a show poster already. Rich thinks he can get tix to the shows for free, but I just hope we get them before they sell out.
I am probably gonna try and rent a car instead of flying. It may be fun. I have never driven through Iowa or Nebraska before. From what I hear though, I may not be missing much.
Maybe I can get a half a day of boarding in while I am out there. That would start my year off in the best way possible. Friends, music, and some mountain air.
Today it may be a bit dreary here, but there are sunny days to come.
This is how I quiet my mind most of the time. Thinking of the future, posibilities, and planning. During the most recent argument with my mother, she told me again of a quote I hadn't heard in years. An old firend of Phil's, Rick Monday, used to say,"If you're not where you're at when you're there, then you're nowhere".
So, here is a list of things here that make me happy: Charlie Don't Surf, Mary Beth, Jamba Juice, kissing on the sidewalk, wet pavement, crowded coffee houses, the Hideout, Sarah B. and Rich, working downtown, reading on the train, long showers, Crash Davis, seeing Heather in love, Potbelly's, bloody marys at Heaven on 7, Tower Records, Strange Cargo, Gingerbread lattes, and not knowing what will hapen next.
