A Low Tide Sinks All Ships
A particularly low tide yesterday when Deanna Varagona and I went to Muir Beach. On display were really too many sea stars to count, thousands of sea anenomaes, including several very large ones, and disturbingly large mussels.
After beer and scotch with Arshad and Laura we headed to my least favorite icredibly tastey restraunt in the city, Burma Superstar, which warned me that my okra and egg dish (which I requested very spice) was "extreme". It was not, but it was delicious as always. I know some stuff is still spicey out there but I fear I may have lost the burn. Much talk was directed toward the upcoming tour, and various musical elements to be worked on this weekend. Waiting for over an hour for a table certainly helped (thank god for the blue danube arangement). Today, in addition to computer and sample stuff there'll be apron making for Raf and Margot's annual chili cookoff and some rock collecting for Chris and Rebecca's house/engagement warming. In answer to the question "whaddaya got in your bag, a bunch of rocks?" the answer is always "yes".
One major bummer was, after driving through the fog with Deanna while listening to M Ward we discovered after dinner (which was LATE) he had been playing with Conner/Bright Eyes in the east bay. A quick check of the internet showed a Portland show today so they were certainly on their way by the time we got home. So close yet so far...reminds me of the near collission with Bob (and the rest of Shellac) in London in Dec. Well, at least in that situation there will be a reason for not hooking up.
