1001 Disco Days

Plum forgot

Off for all Saints Day. So got my first dance in a while.All of it to Thievery Corporation a band I am discovering new depth. Within.

A day off, for Feast of St. Francis day. So I go to "parents as learning partners". Then I put on the new Caspar Babypants album and dance. The Bubble Rap. It is so good. It's been too long since I've walked this way. I want to put out that not only does an incredible edible better the experience of the dance, 10 fold, but it also ENABLES it. Edibles enable an incredible dance and more than double the day.

At this rate I'm not going to get to 1001. But who cares. Each dance is well worth it for its own sake. This one super super subtle, as I tried to occupy myself during lunchroom duty, 45 minutes of walking around the lunch room of St. Francis Prep. Most teachers hate it. So how to make it fun? Start up a big band in my head. Bass first. Then start to sway a bit, walk to the beat, with dance moves so slight 400 kids do not notice you are dancing. But you are dancing. S St. Francis walked down the road banging sticks together and singing. People called him a lunatic. Yes, yes, he was. Viva la luna.

One of the best days of my life. And a life with many great days. First to teach Coleridge and Whitman all day, alone. Pure bliss. And then to have dinner with your wife and daughters. Jurf bliss. Then to go to the globe of the actual name of your local bar, for open mic night, and your electrician is the opening band, your hamdyman, and then the lowers play, your friends, for the out of the velvet underground sunnyside experiment, named after the older kids section of Sunnyside Gardens, the lowers. playing all talking heads covers. And bringing the punk back to David Byrne. Jumping around like a 17-year-old pure energy. And then you're ugly and so their players is strange keyboard a febrile Prog. End on la Bamba.

QUIP #2 We dreamed it up, made it happen, for the whole block to hear, a perfect line up of bands this year, a perfectly curated day and evening of live music, by yours truly. A success! Danced up a storm.
