The first band was great. No idea what their name was but one of AP's house mates. This is more like I bar than a concert hall. Most people are standing, but I have my bench staked out.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

where's the concert at, sj?
Got the final reckoning for Tom's mother's estate settlement expenses. It's quite a lot of money. Tom has taken to bed to make it go away. Sigh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wait, you have to PAY to settle the estate? If there was any kind of estate wouldn't it, I dunno,pay for itself?

Nora, it's at a place called The Middle East. We also ate here tonight and the food was excellent. I'm sorry about the estate stuff. I first read your post as saying that you had inherited quite a bit of money. I liked my misread better.

That sounds awful. Did he co-sign for her debts? Otherwise he shouldn't have to pay them! But I guess if she was ill, sometimes there's no other choice.

Her estate was spent on her end of life care. Since Tom's dad refuses to sell the house (Eve's half of the house has gone to Tom) we only have rental income to pay for the settlement of the estate. These are solicitor fees and other estate settlement legal fees. I don't even know. I don't even know where the hell the rent money's been going since November.
We just paid the credit card off from our travels there and the funeral costs, too. Like, this week.

Ps, I love the Middle East! Great place for shows. Right around the corner from Emily & vwbug's old apartment, too! I also loved T.T. the Bear's club right next to the Middle East. Good times.

Wait, Tom's dad is alive and his son has to shoulder the costs of the settlement? Ugh Nora, what a mess.

The concert is over and we're driving home. It was an awesome night, but I'm too old to be out this late.
