the loud woman and friend, after they asked me to take their picture for them. the loud one was very religious. she told the other one some long story about meeting some guy and she said, “are you christian?” and he was, and that made her very happy. i knew they\u2019d leave. the family left, too, i don\u2019t even remember when. sometimes i do that; i just forget about what\u2019s going on around me. i mean, they must have made some noise leaving, they didn\u2019t just skulk off, and there were quite a few of them, but really, i can\u2019t remember their departure. brain cells, disappearing as i sit here.<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been DELETING like crazy, and if you\u2019ve ever looked at the archives, you\u2019ll notice that the archives from the beginning, last april, till november, are gone. soon they will be back, but they will be IMPERMEABLE to the evil evil bastard commenters who plague me.<\/p>\n
and who knows, maybe i\u2019ll be able to have actual real comments on here again someday. what do you think, christine? because as i was deleting, i noticed some of the old comments and it was fun to read them. making it more of a give and take type thing, instead of me just randomly typing and nobody being able to comment anymore except for e-mail me directly.<\/p>\n
today i got an e-mail from Wil Maring herself, the very talented woman who i wrote about in June. she and her band Shady Mix performed down at Shaw\u2019s Garden in St. Louis, and they\u2019re fabulous, and she found my website because i wrote about her. I just looked at her website, and am highly entertained that it\u2019s in english AND german, very bilingual of them. <\/p>\n
i love to read those german words; the sight of them just makes me laugh. also the thought of trying to pronounce them. like their listing: Band Geschichte. band history. looks like geshundheit, doesn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n
here\u2019s the shady mix website, in case you want to order some of their great music:<\/p>\n
