...

had a very nice weekend:

i got a DJ gig at D-Structure, so come visit me on Fridays.

Jason E. opening was good. saw electro-morphine-Peter. he's off the morphine which is good. we talked about Egyptian Lover and the South Bay.

talked about Maritime Hall (rip) and Carl at the Ha Ra with Julio.

went to the TL and got goofy with Beck. met H. Lewis who is *not* friends with Katie-coup-de-twat. though H. Lewis will be drawing on me sooner than most other people, thanks Beck.

got mexican food and ate it. saw Matthew-dawg. met up with some annoying yatches. talked about the East Bay. ditched annoying yatches. met nice girls from East County. talked about Port Costa and the traintracks and the C&H factory in Crockett.

sunday, waited 45 min for N train (hungover). N train broke down at Church. got off and got on another N Train. got to EMB BART, waited 20 minutes for Pittsburg/ Baypoint train. around Lafayette, third rail goes haywire. BART creeps along to Walnut Creek. i txt friends "i fucking hate public transportation in the Bay Area" rather than punch the seat. finally get to Concord. my mom shows me the new jeans she bought me. i try them on in the kitchen. they fit. brother and i skate around the cul de sac. my mom shows me the suitcase full of 1950's comics she brought back from Las Crusas NM. dig through comics like a little kid. get all sneezy and smiley. eat an amazing make-up-Father's-Day-dinner: spanikopita, greek salad, meat filled dolmathes, garlic bread, smashed potatos, skorthalya, BBQ'd salmon, BBQ strip steak marinated in chipoltle, brocolinni. strawberries and fat green grapes for desert.

moved all my records and turntables to SF. moved the rest of my books to SF. now i have my Prose bookshelf and my Poetry bookshelf.

watched the season finale of Flavor of Love/ Charm School. was very glad Safairi won. though i didn't like what they did with her hair. they made her look like a busted-ass Foxy Brown. i like her original strawberry sherbert weave.

went to bed and had a dream where Brandon B. said that me and Armand were cool. and that he'd like to have dinner with us very soon.

Where's D-Structure? Is it the one on Haight and Fillmore?

And frankly, if you hate public transportation in the Bay Area, I wonder what you'd think of Houston's. It makes the BART/Muni look like a Swiss clockwork. For me, the Bay Area ranks in my top 5 of public transportation systems around the world.

top 5 in the world? that's crazy.

i would say bay area pub trans is the worst pub trans in the United States for a major metropolitan city...it blows, hard.

munich germany was amazing. munich germany is tops.

athens greece is actually pretty good too. it's brand new, and good.

As I have said, Houston's pub trans sys is way worse than the Bay Area's. Buses that don't show up when scheduled? Check. Buses that show up 2 and a half hour late? Check. Routes that make no sense? Check. What else? Anything bad that could happen on a bus, Houston does it worse than SF. Just have a look at the light rail line that runs from downtown Houston to Reliant Stadium.

oh wait, LA's is worse than the bay area. that's one.

houston doesn't count...houston's in texas.
