It would appear that in the busy time of early summer I have missed a week of documentation. Life happens. Cool clothes lines get built, screens get splined in on the new porch, bikes get ridden around the lake, things get figured out. Instead of a dog door on the screen porch, Melissa figures to put one door opening in and one opening out and just show Scout and Wing how it works. Film at eleven.
Our Red Molly show last night was just the finest kind.  They made money, we made money, they charmed the crowd, the crowd bought many CDs. The moose in the lobby left over from a wildlife show provided amusement and photo ops.
They select great music to record, like that Boswell Sisters piece and that final cool song by Susan Werner, "My I Suggest." That kind of show makes me want to book more stuff.
Here's a Jonathan Rauch piece in the Atlantic from 2004 on a Federalist approach to gay marriage. Interesting to consider the states as "laboratories of democracy" approach four years later as California prepares to legalize. And Clay Shirkey's notion of "cognitive surplus" may explain why I watch TV while using a laptop. Yesterday I was watching the DNC meeting on CNN at home; when I got to the theater in the late afternoon, I streamed it on the laptop. I could switch between two camera angles. Yes, that is how it should work. When the TV becomes the computer, I'll be able to switch among a dozen camera feeds while watching the Olympics or the inauguration. |
