Oh man.. almost 1 AM again.. so this will be short.. Tonight was an ‘Oud night’.. (note ‘Oud’ rhymes with ‘good’) We began the evening with an hour meeting of our section of Richmond to examine the town zoning restrictions.. about 6 sentences into the converstaion is was lost in legal language.. I spent most of the meeting writing our hostess’ name in red cabbage slices on a cutting board. Diane and I agree that we’re glad that there are folks who can talk through the details of zoning laws.. but we’re very appreciate  that it’s not us.

Around 8:15 we moved to ‘On The Rise’ to see my buddy Peter’s band ‘locum;.. (or ‘Turkish delight’.,, if you’re translating)They are amazingly awesome. they capture the eastern Europe/western asia’s mourning twang and crazy rhythms so much that I could swear that I was listening to klezmer music that I love so well.

In addition to seeing Peter and Dana, we were also happy to see so many of our friends working the bakery so late at night. We saw Jaquie, RJ,and Lyz

I love that Jaquie is wearing a Sam shirt !

OK.. gotta sleep now.. GNite All.. Gnite Gabe !
