thank you guys soooo much!!!

I just got back from walking across the brooklyn bridge to manhattan with my friend I'm staying with. we bought peaches and ate them halfway across the bridge. I also saw a fabulous, ridiculous vegetable peeler demonstration at one of the open air brooklyn markets and bought two vegetable peelers that are supposed to be amazing. the famous NYC peeler man Then I tried to go bra shopping but with limited success, but I ate some honey roasted peanuts and came home to brooklyn...

It is funny to be here in B's city and not trying to see him, but I remind myself that pushing him to do anything will just slow things down in the end. I think he leaves for shelter island tomorrow, where he is working as a camp counselor at a music camp for the summer with what's left of his quartet. but he doesn't know that I'm still in town, or that I want to see him, so I should probably hint at that.

how about something like this,

Dear B, I really enjoyed your performance! congratulations, it was so great to see you and hear you. you totally rocked the house!!!!

I'm having fun in brooklyn with missy (today we walked across the brooklyn bridge, it was SO beautiful), and I'm thinking about sticking around for the mermaid parade in coney island this weekend. I hope you have a great week! T

and possibly include the following link: flight of the concords--inner city pressure

It is one of the *few* flight of the concords videos that isn't really heavy on the sexual humor, but it might be too much of a commentary on B's life as an impoverished musician in NYC... maybe I should just include a link to peeler man instead! \:\)


OD, yes, john mclaughlin!! when he was young he went to india and made his own crazy indian band called shakti. super awesome and crazy. I'm glad detailing the songs made you feel like you were there instead of just bored \:\)

ali, OK, Asian Girl = just a friend. She was by herself in the beginning, and then one and then another friend joined her at her table (both girls). I think it *was* his first non classical gig, so it was huge deal.

julia, I hope what I wrote on your thread was helpful!!! lemme know if you need more help! One other thing that crossed my mind is if in the future, H wants to meet with you, it is always TOTALLY OK to pretend to be busy, or just say you're busy and then make a plan with someone else or by yourself, if you feel like you need more time to prepare or gather your wits about you.

(((EVERYONE)))
thank you all for being so amazing and supportive...
LOVE,
T
