ammendments/hyde park

i finally went to see the harry potter movie last week. ive been avoiding it all summer, insisting i could wait in the wings and watch glue dry instead while it was getting watched, but no, i ended up inside, and you know, it was good! it was. very. i am not much for movies really at this point, watching anyway, but this was good. and points were made by rowling, goodish points. and so.





hyde park was hot last night. it was still 95 degrees at 8, i think. we played for a good crowd of folks, and even better, had a pile of faces we knew or hadnt met yet but needed to--it was great. thank you to those who made the effort and the drive! it was happy-makey.



there was a guy whom i was told later was a crack head who butterfly'd around while we were setting up and playing, and he made off with a shaker and did well, keeping time before he brought it back. and then took up a tip pot and beat it with fingers before taking it around and encouraging money droppage. it was lovely. i thought i was losing my voice but didnt. and jessica and rebecca wanted to hear homeland, and kate and hannah pulled in close to stage and it was fun. it was girls night--juliet is a jam artist extraordinaire.



some things are better left unsaid. others, better to say. that's obvious. getting your choices down, that takes nopridemind, it takes bendedkneeself, and some lovingopenheartedness. everything else is a piece of (birthday) cake.
