The City of Lights - Day 2

Location: Buffalo, NY (Curtis's kitchen)
Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Time: 11:34 am

I'm gearing up for Amy's Place. I need to know who will give me the chef's special. Curtis & Isaac let me know that Megan has glasses and naturally red hair, but that's often covered up with a bandana. Mo has visible bike tattoos and glasses with dirty blond hair. Lisa is nondescript; except she might have bird scissor tattoos on her forearms. Her hair is dark with a dash of grey. Jenny usually wears Nikes. "She's some sort of a blond," gasps Curtis. And in that order they are not tallest to not shortest. All will be accepting of my needs: to prepare, as the chef, whatever they want for me. Vegan or meaty. Soupy or sumptuous. Breakfast or brunch.

Me: Curtis, which of those women are most likely to help me out?

Curtis: Jenn & Lisa would be the ones. Mo would do it, but she'd ask, "Why?!" She usually makes the stupid shit we ask for. The x-factor is Jerome. Come with the price you want to pay in mind since it's tricky to price off the menu. And talk to the chef as soon as you get there. She'll be immediately to your right as you walk in.

Scrap pile.

By the way, as a side note, I'm listening to the Stones Throw Podcast VDay special, "Valentine's Jams". Mr. Funk just wished me a happy Valentine's Day. It's a bit late but I'll accept it. He has promised he's 'gonna keep it gangsta.' That's good cause I certainly can't. Not with this economy.

In the sitting room next to me Peri is watching the third season. Curtis just suggested, with my recent blogging habit, I could be behind the typewriter during the opening credits but with my iPod Touch. They would end with me flipping over my mp3 player to reveal an inscription: Murder He Wrote. Lew, Peri & I all watched the circus episode yesterday before our show. I'm almost sure Lew & I once saw Matlock go to the same circus that Jessica went to. I think both shared the same results; a hit television show.

Speaking of our show, we all agree it went well. From the performance to the people that were present, we won. Brian Wheat was very enjoyable with some words of wisdom and Unwelcome Guests had a real solid rock sound. Before the show we all got sponge candy as per Curtis's suggestion. It was good but was much better when it was at room temperature; or maybe it was the late time of night. Either way I really dug it right before bed. As I eat one now, to describe it is sort of a delicate crispy spun sugar coated in chocolate. This particular batch is covered in dark chocolate. I hear the confection is specific to Buffalo. Curtis practically dared me to blog about it. Revenge.com is sweet, mon frere.

Here Isaac and Kyle ponder these here envelopes at Isaac's shop, Pedal Printing.

Before that before, Mike did some busking and got us a spot at Spot downtown. On Delaware. We play at 4pm. Roy from last night claims to be there today. I'm counting on you, Roy. Well, now I must dig through the scrap heap at Pedal Printing. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one receiving the scrap. Early congrats if you do!

Yours Truly,
Addison Lansbury
