I can't tell you guys how weird it is to be an adult and have people talking about anything cool on Webster Street in Alameda. I grew up a few blocks away, in the projects on Buena Vista. Surreal, I tell you.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been meaning to get to East Ocean for dim sum. Had dinner there a couple of times, and it was divine.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
But Johnny B Goode and the Dragon Palace are gone now. The only remnant is the tattoo place - oh man, can't remember the name of it - Ricky's?. Otherwise Webster has really grown up.

East Ocean, yes. I went there once about a year ago, and the cart was pulling up to the table before we even sat down. I got totally full for about $10. And it was great; far superior to the dim sum I had in NYC a few years back.
Java, it's a deal. ... dunno when, but yes, we should do it.

“Not dead yet!”
Me too. I still remember that Sting wore a kimono for a shirt. And later on he was kind enough to take it off.
Oh, I remember when I saw Sting solo for the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour. Wife beater and parachute pants. Branford Marsalis on soprano sax and the dirtiest, sultriest most amazing version of "Roxanne" ever until "El Tango" came along in Moulin Rouge.
And I get to see him again soon. ::le sigh::
Chris Botti is probably the artist I've seen most often.

YAY for tomorrow.
Maybe we can plan dim sum for some other day?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first concert was Whitney Houston. She was pretty impressive. But my best concert was Ray Charles, hands down. Truly amazing. I may have cried.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My first concert was Genesis, in 1984. That was also the last concert I paid for. After I went to college I started doing tech theater (basic lighting stuff) and when big tours would come through Chapel Hill they'd tap our theater for grunts to round out the union staff. I saw Bowie's Glass Spider tour that way, as well as a few others. My noisy crowd issues have since made it so most live rock is a no-go.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My first concert was Rush, in 1985(?) for the Power Windows tour. Good times.
In high school, the majority of us were into classic and/or AOR, but there were more than a few of us who adored Duran Duran.
