and liquid
and the gorgeous skies continue. october and may seem to bring such a flurry of color to the endless roof above us. and tonight i will drive into san francisco as the colors spin their webs, to play a show. it has been quite some time since i've found myself in that world of the stage. it feels bittersweet, as i will likely play it alone. i recall the last show i played alone quite well. it was at luna's cafe in sacramento, over a year past i believe. the room was crowded and i felt weightless. and liquid. i broke a string as i often do, and played a bunch of old songs i hadn't played in years. who knows what i will call forth tonight. oh, this making of art can be such a beast. simultaneously beautiful and ugly, heavy and light. inorganic and organic, like computers and bears. so i drag out the live guitar and change the strings. warm my hands and voice. it's all for love in the end. all for love.

Hope the show went well. Wish I could have been there as it's been a damn long time since I've seen you play (since, I think, Edinburgh Castle months back). Who has seen Above the Orange Trees lately? Any comments on recent live shows from friends & fans?
Meanwhile, I find myself more than halfway through Atlas Shrugged. I had no idea that Ayn Rand's views were so politically conservative (or rather that the current conservative political machine is matching her views?). In any case, she scares the crap out of me.
