Finally Finished With This Weekend

Opening weekend for ACT went fine - since we're not playing all the time, I was able to take in the muffled thud from the biergarten next door between numbers. The Polkaboy-inspired madness Friday night was expected; it was the cover band from Saturday night that surprised me. Was Eric Clapton's "Forever Man" really a wise choice? I'm fairly sure there wasn't enough cocaine down there to really make that song sound as good as people seemed to think it was in the 80s.

I managed to miss the On Procession parade due to some scheduling mix-ups. By the time I was headed back to the neighborhood, the floats were on the way out, Miss Botox was deflating her blow-up dolls, and people were chasing giant olives down the alley after they'd escaped the giant martini glass. I'll post the meager two pictures I had tomorrow. I settled for some jazz at Deano's after my show and went from there.

My share of the MySpace book is finished, too, despite their efforts to prolong my writing. Just as I was getting ready to put it to bed, the MySpace Applications feature went live, and that had to be tossed in. Still, it's done, and folks can find out more about adding next-gen quizzes to their pages just . . . in . . . time.

Sorry you missed the parade. It was very fun. One of those Chinese dragons came up to Patrick and danced in front of him for several minutes, which astounded him after he noticed it. There was a skating robot, some naked people, mysterious floats, and candy. The turnout was great. I know this was a one off thing, but it would be great to make it a yearly event!

I think I would have been astounded as well.

What goes in to planning a parade of this order?

That’s a good question. I would guess a ton of work, some unicorn horns, and at least one Chinese dragon are required.

Who do we know that has unicorn horns and a Chinese dragon lying around?

I’m glad to see you’re making your way through all the stress and deadlines! And it’s very cool to see someone promoting neighborhood functions. If we had more going on here in Irvington, I’d be all over it. But I guess FoSquare brings the gun to a knife fight.

Cheers to you and your lovely lady, and I hope the rest of the production goes smoothly-

What about the Irvington Halloween extravaganzas?

Plus, you have the Lazy Daze. We are without coffee shop at the moment.

Nuh uh. I thought Dave Jablonski or something had a coffee shop down there… or was it just a funny rumor.

I do like teh Lazy Daze. Any time I drive by the Starbucks on Wash. St. I want to scream at everyone sitting outside.

It’s true, but it appears to have closed. I’m sad.
