On other news:
I just realized that I had seen TEMPLE OF BON MATIN in New York before I had ever seen them in Birmingham. My memory of that show was so hazy--like some Jonas Mekas montage. I have this image of dreadlocks; Deitch frantically speeding by in a Dearraindrop suit; a cartoon dog; me running from the Slow Jams Band who were throwing up West Side and jumping on some trampolines; then this really clear memory of looking at Kyle Lapidus' little girl and thinking of how she must have been having the best time ever because when I was a kid at Mardi Gras and all of the adults were all drunk and wearing rainbow costumes, I had that time. I've seen so many shows that a lot of times I don't remember them until I see the same group again a couple of years later. So I am glad now that this blog will also be a way for me to keep a record of all of the things I see and people I meet.
