I just realized I ate at Jean-Louis in the Watergate when Eric Ripert was chef there. I believe it was before seeing George Winston at the Kennedy Center. It was one of my early dates with M1. Apparently, we had decided to act like 50-year-olds that night.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee! Made of win. Was it delicious?

George Winston wrote a blurb for the SO to use in his publicity back when we were playing out. George did a show at our college because our college had a gorgeous Stein grand, and the SO snuck in and spent the night in the chapel because George had blocked out the time for rehearsal. After having been ambushed at like, five in the morning, George still agreed to sit down and listen to D.'s playing. He was shuffling papers and D. started, but George stopped him and said, no, wait, I want to be able to really hear what you're doing. Gave him his full attention while he played. And then sent him the blurb, some six months later.

Good show, too.

ABDC: I can't believe Fly Khicks are still in at the cost of Ringmasters and we're not going to get to see Ringmasters do magic. But I have to say they put on a pretty good show last night. Overall, though, I think all the lame dances were still lame dances. Funny, though! And Quest Crew's stall...what? That was amazing.

I'm not into the cloggers anymore. All the drama is coming from the one person. Whatever.

Still love Beat Freaks and Strikers.

I read "Winston" as "Clinton" and was like "that is a DREAM DATE!"

I know. I don't like the Fly Khicks. Although the Ringmasters kind of creeped me out with the wierd body stuff, I thought that they were better.

I read "Winston" as "Clinton" and was like "that is a DREAM DATE!"

George Clinton totally gave me the eye one time. I was at the 9:30 Club to see him, waiting in line, and he happened to get off the bus right where I was standing. He was shaking hands and walking through the crowd, he saw me, stopped and shook my hand and said hello before he was ushered off. My friend Sam looked at me and said "George Clinton just totally checked you out!" I said "yeah, for a second I thought that I might get invited backstage, but he probably wouldn't have let me bring you" He replied "I would have killed you if you had said no" That's a good friend.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

George Clinton has been called many things. Stupid isn't one of them.

Sweet! Heck yeah you would have had to go!

A friend of mine made hats for him back in the 90s.

Is that what the kids were calling it back then?

Jockeys: Oh that was fun. I'm going to watch it again. They picked a nice cross section of jockeys AND we get to see Zenyatta.

That's pretty much all I was going to say. But I do love the diversity of the crews this season - it's living up the ads before the first season much better than in the last two seasons.
