Happy Birthday Rin!

My sister is the best sister ever. Really. It's not even up for discussion.

Kath, if you're reading this, come visit soon. We all miss you.

Have a great NYC-style birthday.

What Keeps You Going

E-Strippers - I'm in existential mode tonight. Just wondering what in particular makes you tick. Friends, family, love, art, music, work, religion/spirituality?

Cool banner

I just noticed the baner image with emily in the window and the estrip street sign. It makes me wonder if she really does wear the bunny suit all of the time.

Walking Home

1:00 AM
Walking down Allen Street alone

A female voice. "Hey.."

Can't be for me. A few minutes later, the voice gets closer. "Hey!"

Oh no. Is it one of those junkies that's going to harrass me?

Footsteps right behind me.

I turn around. It's that cool chick that Flacidness and I played pool with, about a month ago.

"I saw you walking out of the Pink. You looked sad."

"No, just really tired. It's good to see you though."

"You too. You sure you don't want to have a drink?"

"Yeah. I have to get up early."

"Ok. I'll see you around then. Hey - what's the name of that site you were telling me about? I wrote it down but I lost it."

"elmwoodstrip.com"

Flash Class

Paul - I am all for a Flash primer. It's one of those things I could learn on my own, but a class would provide some motivation - something I've been lacking lately.

I'm Not Worthy

I know for a fact that I am not the biggest Dylan fan in the world. I'm probably not even the biggest fan on my street. Which is why I was so unbelievably lucky to see two great shows last weekend.

I'll leave the music review to the pros. But I will say that during "All Along the Watchtower," I had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I hadn't gone to heaven.

Thanks to Jeff, Kim, Dave, Dave, Connie, & John for being such great trip companions.

And special thanks to jw for the best cookies ever.

I hate to tell you, but you do have friends.

In any event, you celebrate it (or don't) any way you want!

The Real St. Patrick

I stand corrected. Apparently St. Patrick never used a shamrock to symbolize the holy trinity.

Nevertheless, if you're going to celebrate any Christian holidays, you may as well celebrate this one. Although we don't know too much about St. Patrick, we do know that he was one of the first Christians to speak of women with respect. And Thomas Cahill writes:

"For a decade, gay and lesbian Irish-Americans have sought permission to march in New York's St. Patrick's Day Parade, and for a decade they have lost in court. Cahill, among others, has allied Patrick with gays and lesbians. Cahill's Patrick is a muscular progressive. He was a proto-feminist who valued women in an age when the church ignored them. He always sided with the downtrodden and the excluded, whether they were slaves or the pagan Irish. If Patrick were around today, Cahill says, he would join the gay marchers. "

So, in the spirit of celebrating progressive saints, as well as the vernal equinox, I'm heading to Mixer's tonight, where my roommate is bartending. If anyone wants to come, it's located at 1797 Niagara Street. If you've never been there, don't expect too much.

Happy Birthday Jill! And make sure you go out and celebrate!
