revolting queers party at the organ house [< hey look it's tom-A-hawk!] a couple weekends ago. was a scene: plenty of minneapolis art school scenesters, all riding their skinny road bikes, rows and rows of them all locked together, like amsterdam. saw THREE great bands between 11-1: reverse church, a band in the amityville horror room in the basement - maybe 1st communion afterparty? teen eagle? then mute era back up in the living room - tha kids were moshing! there was crowd surfing! didn't get right into the pit because i was like at least 1.5 times as big as anyone in there, so i guarded the perimeter, stomping away, sometimes holding up the whole crowd from falling over all by myself. missed gay beast cuz i had to be up early for work.
last weekend was high spring with trees covered in nothing but blossoms, lilac liqueur filling the air for the mayday parade. had kim over for pasta party dinner saturday night, had kung over sunday morning for a pre-parade brunch w/ mimosas (1/2 italian bubbly, 1/2 fresh-squeezed oj, w/ a splash of pomegranate cherry mmm ...) and a frittata. mayday pics up on my flickr...

following the spirit of kdogg's advice on my myspace comments ... the radio k top 7 is rockin my solo sunday brunch. hearing all kinds of early-90's sounds in 2day's hitz: belly, velocity girl; and, literally, low. but the real music for channeling spring magic is animal collective and their side project panda bear.
last saturday at work mary the maintenance lady came to the membership desk to show a polaroid she had taken recently of a wild turkey that had wandered into her yard in minneapolis' gritty, urban phillips neighborhood. this did not prevent kung and i from being surprised that monday - the day of the virginia tech shootings - to see a tall, grim-reaperesque turkey trotting nonchalantly through the grounds in front of mctc on hennepin avenue downtown. in all our years in the twin cities neither mary, nor kung, nor i had ever heard of wild turkeys in the urban core. the following days found me surprisingly affected by the shock of monday's news, and i KNOW i know i know that this is only a coincidence, but that knowledge did not prevent a chill from going down my spine when i learned that virginia tech's mascot is a turkey.

a couple more stories about movie night at don + tim's: stevie sez there were at least 35 guys there, one guy we met surfs 20-FOOT WAIMEA. he's a young, tall airport meteorologist and it was very nice talking with him! also, everyone kept asking me 'when are you leaving?' ... of course they didn't mean anything by it and i didn't even know it had really affected me that much - until i had a dream that night where my flight was leaving in 40 minutes. i was in a panic because i couldn't get the phone or computer to work so i could contact the airlines and extend my stay. i ended up breaking down + crying in the arms of a little local aunty. hawai'i is a place where you can feel good about yourself, and be happy. i no like leave!

this shameless self-delusion has gone along nicely with the general excess grandiosity of aquarian birthday season (mine - and my mom's, and james dean's ! - is on thursday ... thanks stevie for the bday care package* from hawai'i!). i've actually been working in the occasional cab ride on my few forays out into the frozen world - my blacked-out date harassed chris r at the hot p-cons / hockey night show on friday; a little soiree at the caterpillar with kimberland, and her latest fave dj bach, got me out of the house after the super bowl sunday night, to meet up w/ bday bro jcat before he jetted back to his new home in seattle. but now there are actual concrete plans being made to bring tom-A-hawk back to the islands, an urgent airlift to employ me on another solid hawaiian custom cabinet job with steve, and to spare me from at least one more month of what truly is a cold and brutal way to live. it's much easier to deal with winter when you have an escape plan - otherwise i swear my fun little winter daydream could develop into a serious "the shining"-style psychosis.
but i'm not there yet. i'm taking my supplements and i'm on my tonic, i woke to very pretty, delusion-reinforcing snow falling this morning, which has tapered off and i should go shovel now. my mystery neighbor's free wireless has been down for days, so i'll go to the chalet, i mean coffee shop, to post this later.
[*stevie's care package included the new freesurf, including an ad that made tom-A-hawk realize eddie rothman is his big new surf stud ... buttons sez he "literally chained me to a pole in his house for two weeks" ... yea Daddy!]
