October 25th, 2022. Happy Birthday George.

I SHOULD be writing lots of wonderful things about my strange little brother. He’s the smart one. And the hot one. E’rbody says so. He’s off in Brussels so he’s not hear to deny it. But alas, he’s in Brussels so I’m not doing birthday things, I’m doing OTHER things. Like running a webstream for a Welsh band in Alexandria, VA and interviewing Persian historians in Farsi.

Saturday October 22nd – we raced back early this morning so Heather could play a show and I could run a stream. Calan, from Wales, played Focus Alexandria here at Saint Aidan’s in Alexandria (ish) VA, but all-in-all I’d have been happier spending more time in Pittsburgh!

+/- the discovery of the Way to the Roof! Well out of the fray of an unfortunate level of disorganization down in the show, and with the ability to turn back and switch cameras, I discovered this barred door and the cool, woodsmokey air beyond. It was a private, secret place that I wish I’d known as a teenager because I’d have Gotten Up To No Good!

Below, there be no rest for the wicked. Not even for the moderately-wicked (like me). This morning saw me racing on down to Rockville to interview this man about his knowledge of the history of Persia. Unbeknownst to me, the entire interview was in Farsi and I have NO idea what was said.

They teased me that this was gonna get me on government watchlists. I assured them that they probably couldn’t do any damage I hadn’t done myself.
