driving north under the dark clouds of early rain
I saw the sun bloody behind the Home Depot
grimly knowing, unabashedly unsure
forecasting foreshadowing foresight
driving north into the striated sky
as the sun peeks around clouds, around buildings
falling calmly, gently glowing
honk.

This year, the Chillits music committee decided to pair me with my dear friend & common co-conspirator dj pie. We've never played a tag-team set together before, but it worked out really well -- perhaps to the surprise of the committee, we found ourselves playing hip-hop.

My friend Dan Ancona wrote up a good list of things to do, ways to be involved while still living your life. They're listed on Brian Moseley's blog "in hopes that somebody will stumble across it," and I'm linking here for similar reasons -- but mostly as a reminder to myself to follow Dan's advice.
