after hauling said bags and items up the hill, and determining that it was going to be the really big laundry machine tonight, was soon joined by Zak and Jeffe, and Jacques, and guest appearances by Nathan, who got a special day song led by Zak, and other very swellegant folk including Robin who has an all teak frisco flyer sailboat!

Tim Lincecum did not make a guest appearance this week. It would not be fair to say that Tim Lincecum made an appearance last week. However he did drive up right in front of us, get out of his fine ride, and then walked right by us. After getting confirmation from a guy in Giants shirt that “yes that is Tim Lincecum”, and observing that yes Tim Lincecum is one. cool. hombre. - Dirty Loads #20 knew that truly anything is possible.

i can not confirm or deny what Tim Lincecum purchased or if the sf giants fan got an autograph from him. however Pitching is all about Location - and I can confirm that Tim seemed to be familiar with location of the freezer with the ben & jerry ice cream…

people read poems. snacked on soysauge and creme cheese . did laundry. zak announced he had mined through the archives and had some newly polished work. we broke out the microphone - more of a prop really but its good to train the poets and if nothing else DL will be your coach.

guitar accompaniment inspired spontaneous singing. played some blues behind jacques poem. zak asked for something triumphant, and girls threw flowers at our feet. not sure what jeffe asked for but he sang it oh yes he sang oh my such singing there was isadora.
..
the best thing i sang - working on a song - everyone else was outside. i was on ambient patrol, pushing notes out the door down bridgeway ave. there were these vocal notes that bounced off the glass and metal of the laundry machines and suddenly it was like just like home….

..
and just like home we had to go.

went to undisclosed location for double screening of jeffes working edit of a short movie. then watched a movie about a kid and a balloon. a story of the struggles and challenges of those who live on sailboats and come to shore to work, create art, and write random blogs. and it told the story of the complicated challenges of keeping a Patissier solvent. most importantly
