wedding, et cetera
blogging, music, Oregon 1 Comment »I took the day off from work today, so that I can go to my friend Dori’s wedding at the beach. The ceremony is going to be on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I’ll be playing accordion. They had a bonfire last night, but I had to give it a miss because of bad planning on my part. I hadn’t arranged a place to stay, and I’m kinda broke again this month, so I thought I’d just go over today. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s kinda cloudy, but it’s supposed to be nice. Road trips are the perfect environment for Sigur Ros’s music, so that’s what I’m going to bring. That and a few compilations that I found, but haven’t had a chance to listen to yet. I’ll try to take some pictures, but since I’ll be playing also, no guarantees about that.
Last night I was invited to join Andrea and CellistSkip out at the Edgefield winery. It was a nice surprise for all three of us. It was also quite possibly Andrea’s last Portland show, so I jumped at the chance. She’ll be moving to Europe in a little over a week. I’m totally happy for her.
Since the highway goes right by the hospital my friend is in, I’m going to stop in and surprise her on the way out of town.
Great paté, Mom, but I’d better motor if I’m gonna get over to the hospital and the beach. (That’s a reference to the movie “Heathers”, by the way.) It’s my own way of saying I have to go now. Gotta eat breakfast, take a shower, find something nice to wear, throw my accordion in the car and head out.  I’m bringing my backup accordion this time, because the wet ocean mist and breeze would ruin my good one, and my backup one is perfect for things like this. It was an inexpensive instrument, so I don’t worry about what’s going to happen to it. Not that I’d want it to get run over by a train or something, but I think you know what I’m saying.
Wait a minute; what am I DOING? I have to go. I’ll talk to you later.
