hey mister pin stripe suit, there is no polite way to remove your underwear in an alley

-prelude-

New Years EVE Skytrain Dance Party at VCC Clark. Meet at 7:45 on December 31st, bring everything - music, costumes, party favours, instruments, etc. "At 8pm we hop an Accordion Train to the Future." Total Trip time 1hr. 8pm to 9pm.

Act 1.

The Dancing Fields. A movement, they kiss. Every smile is a line inscribed. He makes her laugh. This is not a new thing, but another attempt. Her distance allows for the illusion of successful intimacy. This is the first time he's met her at the door with his hands.

Act 2.

Heart of the World news. The current owner has put the Bollywood films up for sale on Craigslist. The letter of my contract says As Is, meaning, everything in the building is coming with the building that was there when I saw it. I'm sure that it was implied somewhere that this was to mean only fixtures, but I'm willing to kick for a discount off the price. I think we can roll with this. The realtor, though he seems nice, as it is his job to do, is still going to receive a silly amount of money, no matter, so I don't feel I'm cheating anyone by complaining.

I'm also thinking about what it would mean to us if we bought them off Craigslist ourselves. Currently the films are stacked all over the theatre in big spilling reels and awkward tin boxes that we'll have to organize, box up, sort, etcetera. If we buy them off Craigslist, not only will we be paying less for them than if they're included in the theatre price, that will all be taken care of for us, and we'll have to spend significantly less time cleaning the space up for performances. It might be worth a shot.

-intermission-

W.C. Fields began his career as a juggler, so good that he performed for royalty and heads of state. A portion of his routine was committed to celluloid in 1934's The Old Fashioned Way. There's a clip of it up on YouTube.

Act 3.

An Italian cafe, Cafe Calabria. Double-consonant beverages and nude white statues of mythical heroes with santa hats perched on their faux-marble heads. A Mediterranean cover of Bryan Adams' Have You Ever Loved a Woman, "Lei mai ha amato una donna?", piped past hanging cakes that frame the renaissance revival ceilings. Two nights in a row I sat there, nursing a delicious hot chocolate to within a drop of its life, and waiting for friends who never walked through the door. Tonight, the second night, I winked at the man behind the counter who called me "bella" and decided to try to be a regular.

Ah, your comments there. yes. Too blurry. I only really like the one on the left, putting it with the one on the right is an attempt at salvage.

Duncan sent me the link and I sat dumbfounded, stupidly trying to explain to Michael who W.C. Fields was and why it was so surprising that he was a juggler.

One of those people whose stage persona was so successful it became confused with the actor himself.

I'm assuming it's the same organizers from last time.

There's no mention of it on the newmindspace site, but it could be.

hey - happymerry

Another eve kisses the future, moving time past
our attempts at laughter; it’s a favor to the others,
whose intimates are distant illusions, unwilling to
be inscribed on new forms.

Eve builds his kisses nearer to the world’s heart,
where matter is merely film, or letters, all of which
discount reality, fixing its price.

Eve is the amount of theater, for less then we spend
on cheating her; she’s the currency of our selves,
spilling awkwardly on our organs…in her box.

Eve brought us here to perform the space, while
nude myths take care not to reveal our heroes.

Eve says, be worthy of the old ways; they’re like
mouthfuls of royal chocolate consonants juggling us.

Lest the public get the wrong idea, the friends were there as planned but there was a time distortion - once by T-24h and once by T+35m. Better communication by both sides would allow for correction of these sync problems next time.

Cafe Calabria is one of my favourite places on the Drive. The men behind the counter are unfathomably sexy and they serve beautiful food and espresso. Life doesn't get much better. :)

I was a regular there something like six years ago, when I first lived on the Drive, but it's been fading out lately because I never "go for coffee" anymore. Nipping in these last two nights have very forcibly reminded me just how nice it actually is.

Re: Cafe Calabria

I'm going to go with Frankie Junior, if only because I can't imagine what Vinne Flesh Gordon would look like. he had thick black hair, does that help?
