May…ish

So, totally appropriately, I will begin this new blog into a venture of my May schedule. 

Why?  Needless self-indulgence. 

For whom?  Self; indugled.

May 2- Playing w/ Aaron Robinson at The End, than over to the Black Flag Militia Naked With Us Fashion Show – SickestFashionShowEver@gmail.com

May 3- Ed graduates college, a monumental feat in and of itself.  Some of us chipped in and bought him the best gift ever – pictures soon.

May 4-15 – Various mental, physical, psychological and physiological excerise to expand/contract things.  If I told you, your mind would melt.  Deal.

May 16-18 – Houston.  Yup, Houston.  Megan graduates high school, possibly more momentous than Ed!

May 24 – ERIC WILSON & EMPTY HEARTS cd release show w/ Aaron Robinson and The Lonely Hearts.  Yes, important, hence all caps.  Seriously, if you read this, you probably know me well enough to show up!

May 29 – June 1 – Going home to the Rockford for STARLITE RADIO cd release show (again, caps = henced importance).  That show is May 31st at Memorial Hall – what a joyous reunion it shall be, fo sho.

June 6 – 8 – Matt & Bekah’s wedding in…Elizabethtown, Kentucky!  Even in my rather rabid repulsion by said state, there are two places I like – the Wilson compound in Auburn and Elizabethtown.  The latter I’ve never actually experienced, but Cameron Crowe/Kirsten Dunst/Ryan Adams/Rachel Yamagata/EastMountainSouth/Lindsey Buckinham/etc. have forever romanticized it as the quintessential ‘Point A’ for coming-of-age.  Oh please, don’t let my heart break…

 

So, this really was just for May, but the spillover is inevitable, I guess.  Long blog – ouch.  End with this excerpt from THE BLUE PEOPLE OF TROUBLESOME CREEK: The story of an Appalachian Malady, an Inquisitive Doctor, and a Paradoxical Cure by Cathy Trost

“They were bluer’n hell,” Cawein says.
“Well, as you can imagine, I really examined them.
After concluding that there was no evidence of heart disease, I said ‘Aha!’
I started asking them questions: ‘Do you have any relatives who are blue?’
then I sat down and we began to chart the family.”
