Music for the Far Away

For the most part, we're all pretty far away from each other. But we can still listen to the same music! :)

Priscilla Ahn - Dream
Corrine Bailey Rae - Girl Put Your Records On
(Saw Akron/Family at Quixote's in Denver the other night. They're doing alot of jam-bandy, experimental stuff right now. Reminded me of you guys! This is one of their mellower pieces and I love the chorus.)
Akron/Family - Love is Simple
The Go! Team - Milk Crisis
The Ruby Suns - There Are Birds

Happy Birthday Erica :)

Now you can rent a car! Exciting stuff, this getting older. We miss you!

Sometimes

when I'm standing in a club at like 4 am inhaling the smell of here, which consists of tobacco, leather and fernet, I get a mild stomach ache. Recalling that I strangely enjoy the smell of club-funk, I ponder the root of my nausea. Then I remember: it's the feeling of missing my people. Looking around a club whilst breaking it down chocolate-city style, I stare at the argentine wallflowers waiting for guys to ask them to dance so that they can have drinks bought for them and run their fingers through a head full of hair gel and tolerate a freakishly high rate of domestic violence. Fuck that. Everything is good about intelligent women in sweatshirts taking over a sleepy bar in ithaca, girls in steamy heels stepping it up at bar in a cornfield in st. mary's county, pantsuits and sundresses in miami, and the elegant pairing of MCS's long sleeve sweatshirts and my scarf-bangle combos conquering DC.

Thank you for being strong people. Thank you for having game. Thank you for doing what you want in life.

I can't even explain what it's like to be a feminist in Argentina.

Tears in my vino.

I wish I was going to a reunion with you guys, I long for the verdant fields and playful coastline of SMC and the company of each of you. Instead I shall get drunk enough to think the people here are funny.

ET's Picks: Perpetuum's Torrontes, anything Rutini, Zucchardi Q, Alta Vista's Alto, Ben Marco's Malbec, Susana Balboa's Malbec, Ruca Malen's Malbec, Catena Zapata's Malbec (not the Alamos line, which is a good value but not particularly complex)

The lady who says...

"So we can get to the city!" reminds me of Liz. Not sure why, but that is all!

OH, wait, not all: Read Abby's post about reunions :)
