Now I’ve found a real love, you’ll never fool me again
Today may have been the month’s busiest day so far. I started out with brunch with Amy before heading over to Mama Buzz Cafe to meet up with the choir. I was shocked to find it closed. Other people who kept showing up and peering through the door at the darkness on the other side seemed less sad about it. I’d figured it would be open in advance of its final concerts.
With not much action in the art gallery district as I’d hoped would offer the choir a caroling audience, we all headed up to Commonwealth to cool our heels and plot our next moves.
I left them to get Amy and dash to Oakland International Airport to pick up Tom in order to drop them outside the Scottish Rite Temple on Lakeside Drive in time for the California Revels.
By then, I needed to eat, so I stopped in at Rudy’s for a snack. Then came a text about a chance to sing at an gallery opening at Zza’s. A three-song set later, we headed over to the Heart & Dagger Saloon for a little back-porch action, but the bartender on duty denied us (saying he feared the porch’s neighbors’ wrath). So we camped out on top of their jukebox and started playing the smoothest and most yacht-rocky tracks it had to offer.
All in all, not a bad end to a busy day.
