1. Billy Bragg is playing at Cat’s Cradle on September 18.
2. One of my colleagues has a radio show on the local Carrboro station. ((You learn something new every day. I had no idea we had a local wizard.))
3. This colleague has scored an interview with Billy Bragg.
4. While conversing about this coup at work today, another colleague and I started hatching plans to attend the show together. She is going to try to get more people in on it, too.
5. This could be quite fun.
Damn, I see that Autolux ((Last time I saw them play in Carrboro, after the show, Eugene found me and said he couldn’t stop looking at me because my hair was just like his girlfriend’s back home. Over a year later, someone I am pretty damned certain was the same Eugene—he was named Eugene and was in an LA band playing Coachella, and Autolux were on the bill—was very intent on talking to me at the afterparty where Carlos D was spinning. But that all seems like a lifetime ago, back when I was a coolkid and had hip hair.
I wasn’t that much of a coolkid though, because at that party I stopped a man dancing with a long stream of toilet paper stuck on his shoe and told him he had toilet paper stuck on his shoe, rather than just peer and point and snicker at him like everyone else.
I thought about this last night, when the friend I sat with at the market started to get up and tell someone they had toilet paper stuck on their shoe before it fell off on its own. He is the kind of person who will tell you that you have toilet paper stuck on you and I value that in a person.)) is playing September 7 and CocoRosie is playing September 20. James at 9:30 Club in DC on September 27. ((I have my ticket, I have my ticket, as well as plans to meet up with a friend while I’m in DC. yaay!)) Aaaannnd… Legendary Pink Dots at 506 again on November 3. I could run over there right after teaching cataloging for 2.5 hours. That would be quite the brain shift.
Today I also sent an email asking for more information on the September 25 C.G. Jung Society of the Triangle workshop with James Hollis. Specifically, I asked if it is aimed at professional analysts/therapists/counselors, or whether it is for anyone interested in Jungian ideas and work.
When it rains, it pours.
