Today I turn thirty and fly home to Ontario for two weeks of adventure. (Tomorrow, according to wordpress’s server clock.) No post next week as I’ll be roughing it in the Canadian wilderness with the people I most adore. I’m back just in time to post again the week after that, presumably with scads of photos from parties and camping and expos and weddings. More probably those photos will take me a while to process and instead I’ll dole out some U of J prompts or get back on the writing update train. (Because I’m back on the writing at all train. Woo woo!)
I’ll let these speak for themselves. Except to tell you that band with the ape is Five Alarm Funk, who put on a good show and are worth checking out. All instrumental, the sort of brass-heavy funk you’d have watched car chases to in the seventies, saved from porno cheesiness by the grace of ska.
