The other night I went to Hank's Saloon (my new favorite bar) to see Morning 40 Federation from New Orleans. Hearing them took me right back to a particularly tumultous phase of my past, where I was always discovering new strange places and people.

I remember hot nights in New Orleans wandering through decrepit neighborhoods and hearing raunchy, old-timey music floating on the air.

They sang lots of songs about always being drunk (or as Baudelaire put it: il faut toujours etre ivre), and being very dirty.

Also the last couple days I keep seeing really cute skinny redheaded girls. There is one girl who plays the fiddle for Uncle Fucker and other bluegrass bands who used to come into the cafe where I worked, who was at the show bouncing around, and one younger girl at the bartending school (in class), and there was another one on the train last night. You know what I mean, the cute freaky art-school girl, who has on green tights and Docs and a vintage dress, and is reading a Harry Potter book, and who you know is just so cool. And she grows up to be into plants and have a nice 50's kitchen table. And maybe makes hats or something. I have a big crush on those girls right now.

my best friend spent some time being a musician on the streets of new orleans. he brought back a video of some of his friends, some of whom were actually pretty rocking. before he went, he wouldnt listen to anything but blues despite my protestations, but he came back an enormous bluegrass fan.

i dont know the circumstances of your time in new orleans, but i spent some time in the mississippi delta, which always ends up my favorite daydream when i get tired of the crazy lawschool ratrace. juke joints in 120 degree heat. it's the best.

I want a hundred of them to all be my friends. Not that there's anything wrong with my current friends.

It's a whole other planet from this one, right?

Yeah, they got the radar on too. My best friend in 9th grade was one of those girls. She painted her whole bedroom black and had an iron canopy bed. Awww.

Blond for summer, red for winter! Easy as pie.
