am i really that much older?

it's friday night.
on rivington street, lower east side, new york city.
the cars are whizzing by, folks are talking & yelling and braving the rain.
three blocks away are bars called marshall stack & verlaine.
does it get any cooler?

well, no.
because i am in my pjyamas, drinking sleepytime tea and trawling you tube.
i bunked out in order to stay in, recharge. it is a school night after all.

tomorrow is the HC's first live show of 2008. and it seems that 2008 is the year of HC.sold out months again, our l'il event is apparently the hot ticket for saturday night in manhattan. tickets are for sale on craigslist for $100 a pop. that's $25 more than poor old lenny kravitz...ya shoulda stuck with our nicole kidman mister k!

folks from the label were out in force tonight, necks rugged up in turtlenecks and animated hand gestures galore. bemused faces on our part, we're cooking up plans for a gamecube & expresso machine on the tour bus. getting excited about oatcakes & olives on our hospitality rider.

i've been watching you tube diaries of our trip to brazil and the making of the album. it's like watching family slides & super 8's. the HC family is a good one, and this weekend is the beginning of our fabulous family vacation...
