Audio : Celebration: Floristree; Baltimore, MD September 21, 2007
This morning I woke up, after walking the dog, I grabbed my coffee and headed downstairs to begin working on last night’s recording of Leprechaun Catering and Celebration. I originally had other plans for last night. I had met a woman through some Personals online and had setup last night to go out. When she didn’t respond to an e-mail and a text message on Thursday and Friday, I realized that my plans had changed. I had a choice between Oxter/Tad Pole Angel at Joe Squared or heading over to Floristree for Leprechaun Catering and Celebration. It was a tough choice, it always is when Tadpole Angel’s involved.
So I hadn’t heard from this woman for a couple of days and we missed our date. So I’m thinking one of two things: she got hit by a bus or she’s not interested. Hopefully the bus didn’t hurt her too bad…
Wait, there’s an e-mail from her this morning:
I’ve really been procrastinating all day on getting back with you. The truth of the matter is that I’ve been having an affair (he’s married) with my boss for the past 2 months. We decided to end things a few weeks ago and that’s when I looked at the personals. I was really hoping that my time away in XXXXX would cool things down between he and I, but unfortunately, when I returned the situation was somehow re-ignited. I’m truly sorry about this, I’m usually a little more levelheaded than getting involved with married men. I didn’t want to go out with you, without being honest about this situation.
I hope we can still stay in touch. Not that I expect for you to wait for me or anything, but I think that you’re an interesting person and I look forward to reading your emails and text messages.
What else can I say but “I’m sorry.”
When I finished reading, my eyes were glazed over, I was staring at the screen in front of me thinking….this recording of Celebration’s set last night is fucking amazing! I was totally blown away by their set. I had listened to a bit of their music beforehand, but I wasn’t expecting to see one of the best live sets of the year. And as usual, I’m catching the boat a bit late on the band and, apparently, women.
