If in NYC - go to Dipalo's on Mott street for the cheeses = same family for 0ver 100 years ..
Warning: the imported Italian version of a wrap that they sell there has a slight plasticky under taste , but best place for cheeses

I mentioned it before - Driving Over Lemons by the original, original Gensis drummer = Chris Stewart (.." for a minute .."as he says). Not a twee book like the Provence blow-ins .. He is a real part of the community.. He now does walking tours which I do not do... Happy Trails !!!

How much water did you get indoors last night?
I was just telling my buddy who is in town about how the river next to Denville rises and closes down roads, he couldn’t believe it, but there it was closed road and river over the road this morning and probably much much worse last night!

Lennon asked if he could show him how to play harmonica. Delbert says harmonica playing is like masterbating. You can’t show someone how to do it but when you get it right you know it.

What are the details of k8’s event,
my buddy Aaron you met at the Mattiel show is a big comedy fan.
He lives right next to Prospect Park, just down the side with the Broolklyn museum.
Please pass em on.
He and are old friend Taiko (also BK) love seeing comedy together too!
He might be able to pull together an entourage!!!

Build public access. Build boat sheds. Build installations that introduce the public to their rivers. The rivers DO NOT belong to developers or industry or capital. They belong to no one -- which means their preservation (and the search for justice for them and for us) belongs to all of us.
Sweet fancy moses, developers. We hates them we do.

Just counted seven metadata versions of that Cyclones tune when I wondered why it wasn't showing up as clicky-starred.
Frank, it's up to us to organize and protest and keep helping local populations who have been prevented from connection with the rivers by capital and industry to understand that they belong to the rivers and the rivers belong to them by close contact with the rivers and keep harnessing that connection into organizational power to fight developers and the governments who sell out to them us and future generations.
