so, did i tell you last night i went to hear over the rhine? james couldn't find a buyer for his tickets, so he ended up taking me instead of his girlfriend. we got there at 8, and learned the sunday show starts at 8 but the saturday show starts at 10! what to do now? i was so glad to learn that he drinks, so he had a few beers and i had my cranberry vodkas, and we had the nicest time. it was great to hear his side of the story about breaking up (or being broken up) with mairee. it's so interesting to hear a guy's view on loving girls. his problem is his girls keep finding these supernice guys to marry instead. poor thing. it's too bad, he is so nice. i ended up coming out to him, always scary with xians. but it went ok. and after all this, how great could the concert be? they played all drunkards prayer and ohio stuff, and all i need is everything. it was good stuff, the whole crowd sighed in pleasure when they heard the begining of suitcase. but i like more oldies. but they always give me some sort of hook, and this time, it was their final encore- latter days. can you believe it? it was awesome. still, i have like 10 of their cds. how can they only play off three? (side note- did i mention the other day that ch has 26 tori cds and singles? that's not counting the ones at work, those are just on his rack at home...)
got home LATE last night, and with the heat and the drinking i felt pretty bad this morning- i should have drank water at some point during the night. but i did this morning, and then headed off to meet ch and jack for the pride parade. just walking to meet them i saw the best sign that made all of pride for me; "we're proud of our lesbian grandmas" isn't it wonderful in so many ways? there was also a guy near us with a great t-shirt- "but mom, he is the right girl" we were in the back of a mob and short me saw very little of the parade. it was long, hot, i got sunburnt.
afterwards we went to uncommon ground- it seems ch is showing me all the boulderlicous places in chicago before i go to colorado with a. hopefully i'll be able to give a a good hippy time while she's here. we walked up to irving park and there i caught the bus to pam's house.
pam and i made paper today. it was fun. calm, wet, creative- what more could one ask for? she made this awesome thai meal for dinner. and then we played with her guinea pigs and her and her husband gave me a ride home. really, can you imagine anyone sweeter? i gotta get her on my blogroll. i'm so lazy it's silly.
