My unfortunate change of plans: I can't go to the Mermaid Parade tomorrow.→[More:]
A friend of mine called last night, desperate for a replacement stagehand for Saturday's and Sundays performances of the play Joe and I were talking about yesterday. Because I believe in Che more than I believe in myself, and because $100 doesn't grow on trees (or on giant kelp), I won't be able to go to Coney Island and cheer the fishies.

I'm sorry, TPS, and anyone else who was thinking of meeting me there. But I command you to go in my stead and make twice as much noise, for I love our underwater friends, especially the Daryl Hannah lookalikes.

(A few non-mechanism friends of mine will be there, at least one of whom jonmc has met before; if anyone wants to meet friendly strangers, drop me a line or if you have my number, call).

What time is you working, Hugh? Is it an afternoon or evening thing?

Late afternoon/early evening; I gotta be there around 6:30 but now my Sunday is shot so I gotta do my chores on Satiddy afternoon.

I think youse should all go meet there.

I did it on purpose, stupidhead.

Also, Hugh, next weekend is a four-day weekend. Some long-drinking action is indicated. Only I won't drunk and do silly things again. You know, unless it would make you sad.

Next weekend is a four-day weekend for folks who don't temp in banks and need the money the whip-crackers dangle just out of reach.

I like silly things.

My request for drinking remains. Maybe on Monday I'll come up to Queens for an after whip-cracked beer.

I didn't go to the Parade, but I went to the ball. HOT DAMN DID I HAVE A FUN TIME. And it's all thanks to you, Hugh- I would have forgotten AGAIN this year about it. So yaaaaaaaaaay Hugh!
