Everything is still blurry.
Took the post-fest epiphany bath, but it was not as spiritual as they can be. On the whole, I stayed pretty clean with my japanese wipes. I brought a towel but forgot some athlete's foot slippahs. I'm slowly descending back to the common world.
It was a fascinating journey with Tara. While we've worked plenty of shows together, this was a campout where she had a lot of automaty. In past years, she was with high school friends. This year, I would frequently get called away as usual, leaving her on her own, or she'd go off and do something herself. Since she went away to college, I don't get to see her interact with people and problem solve quite like that. We had several long good talks, which was what I want most as a parent in terms of interactions. And we had a lot of fun.
She feels more at home with JAH Med than Rock Med. JM is truly family. RM is now cliquey and corporate. I totally understand. Now she wants to do Northern Nights next. I've never done that one. I've heard its crazy - all night EDM in the redwoods. I can't do it this year, but she sees it as an opportunity to do a show on her own. I have trepidations about that given that it nearly broke of a few of our top players (including Legbone). Hopefully, if she goes, she can go with another volunteer. It's given me a lot to think about...
Hmm, in retrospect, I might have sensed his imbalance early.
Our JediNiteKrew is very specialized. All TG/T-Ras knew beyond what you might have said, was getting coffee with me. Never in my 35 years have I seen someone integrate into the crew so quickly and naturally. She was great. I hope she had a good time - seemed like she did. Hopefully she'll do some more shows with us in the future. I'm sorry we already booked a dog sitter for our backpacking trips because she'd be perfect. Quite an impressive daughter you have there, old friend. Well done.
I'm eager to hear what she tells you about it all.
Been in contact with Ravenclaw. She still feels sick. Hufflepuff went down when they got home to a 101 fever. Hadn't gotten up when we last messaged a few hours ago. He's diabetic so I'm concerned.
My favorite poetic tale was that of the Babylon by Barber Bus, but it only seems to appeal to me. One other vol got it.
Two guys come in with their inebriated friend. I'm trying to talk to them but I'm distracted because all of them have perfect hair and glamorously trimmed beards. Turns out they were all from the Livermore Barbershop. Their boss rented a party van because they all loved reggae in the shop. Their boss was the patient. Then, later, another patient comes in from that bus. I recognized the logo on his hoody. They were fine in the end - they just needed a moment to sleep it off.
The funny thing is that rasta dreadlocks are directly opposed to barbers. Everyone else at CR was unkempt, especially after a few days. It must have put that crew into conniptions.
I know, I know, it's not a great nekkid tripper story, but that's all I got. I'm just grateful - SO GRATEFUL - that I don't have covid. Gotta give it a few days to be sure, tho...

His actions got JM banned from a VIP corridor. I was with that doc and we went to catch up to where the other doc was cutting his wrist band and kicking his ass out. She led me on a wild goose chase and we got there after it was resolved. In retrospect, it was her not wanting to engage the scene but I wasn't following exactly what was going on that well at that moment. She was grateful because she realized he wouldn't be a good fit as her new hire. We all felt that was a tough new job interview process, but it worked.
