Oh, man. So sorry. Plei, I understand where you are coming from, but also feel a little bit like a "poor person" too, because the board itself could be like a large family's rowdy reunion(Maybe, at its best, smuttier) but you never quite get to do and say as much with every person present as you might wish.
And there were at least two half-assed plans to come visit that I had to table(as well as my longtime wish to actually *get closer*, which is still in my heart somewhere but as a practical plan...kind of has a "next year in Jerusalem" feeling at this point. So sad, too, that that is more about market forces than about some thing(or person) in the desert that I hate to leave, but I seem to have plenty of time to feel pain about that.) In some ways we have a lot in common,--on rewatch, I've really come to appreciate Oz as a boyfriend-- but in some ways, we don't know each other that well. She's always gracious and supportive, though I think she gives me too much credit...Like a Monet, I think I look better from a distance, probably. She did the cover art for that soul compilation that I keep meaning to try out in my van stereo. Maybe I'll take it with me if we ever make that road trip(with a stop in SoCal...doing it in one day was flat-out nuts)
