Hello my little Blognificent Family-I hope you made it through your Friday the Thirteenth with a fun story or two. An interesting factoid about yesterday's date-the date 10-13-2006 breaks down to 13!!! Crash course in numerology 1+0+1+3+2+0+0+6=13-ooooooooooohhhhhhhh! SHPOOOOKY-apparently this has not happened for about 500 or so years-so aren't WE special for living at this moment!!!
I like the date 10/13 in general-and since X-Files is created by tenthirteen productions., I like to think of it as X-Files day (and in my own random Ex-File, it is the birthday of my Ex Father-In-Law!!!) I also once had a first date on 10/13 with a carpenter whose last name was WALLS-the fun never stops here in the land of the Great Amoeba!!! One of my other Cosmic Comedian friends was born on Friday the Thirteenth (of November) and I can tell you from experience that he is quite the Trickster...you know him from other blogs, and I am sure you will see him again in the future...but for now...flashback to yesterday...
Last night the band Dark Star Orchestra came to town (tonight too). For those of you who may not be familiar, DSO is a Chicago based group who recreates Grateful Dead shows note for note. They are very good at it, and at the end of each show they tell you what show it was. Deadicated Heads often pride themselves on knowing the set lists for an impressive amount of shows and there is a fun little game to be played between "experts" of Name That Show. I have seen them several times-and have been impressed by their skills, but my last show was not so hot...(whole other blog)...Last night, however was a pretty SHMOKIN set, and the vibe was really great. The Bobby guy really got a workout, and while I lean toward Jerry tunes, this set included a heartfelt Looks Like Rain, into Brown Eyed Women (you know who you are)-into Let It Grow, into a hot Don't Ease (Dough Knees) Me In. A rockin Bertha, a sweet Morning Dew out of Drumz, twirl, twirl, twirl...music that resets my DNA. The last song was One More Saturday Night (b/c the original show was on a Saturday Night) and I thought it was funny that they would play that on Friday the Thirteenth, but who am I to say...I will tell you that I got my ticket in Good Ol' Grateful Style...not by paying with cash, but in trade for a "Kind, Veggie, Hairwrap" just like on tour!!!
In related news-Buffalo, New York was blanketed yesterday by a freak snowstorm that dumped two feet of snow on it in a matter of hours!!! So while we were out here reliving their past, they were back there at a standstill...The symbolism of the Elders Lodge (see blog form about two weeks ago) is alive and well-and obviously I (and you by reading this...) are under it's influence...Great White Buffalo Woman brought the Peace Pipe to the Lakota Tribe. Pass it on!!!
