Good morning. Hello! How are you? Greetings from Somerville, 6:50 AM. Leaving for NC soon. Be driving all day. Gotta hit the road so I can do a bunch of the driving before my work day starts cuz I am dumb and didn’t take today off.
Had a dream last night where Peter Gabriel played at that good Italian place on College Rd. In Fairbanks Alaska. He did “Sledgehammer” in short shorts and had very hairy legs.
Just wanted to pop up here and say that Real Wild Child was a ridiculous, hilarious, amazing success. About 200 people there, maybe a hundred kids, just toddlers running around everywhere and it was amazing. Just the best. A+ will do again, maybe in the summer. Thank you everyone who came, it was absolutely the best seeing so many old friends I never get to see because of kids.
Just wonderful to finally get to DJ at the new Man Ray, the crew was great all around, co-DJ Arcanus was wonderful, the signature mocktails were amazing and it is hilarious I am gonna add club promoter back on my resume in my late 50’s.
Did a ton of really great chores yesterday maybe I will talk about them tomorrow or something.
