The Haight-Ashbury street fair is tomorrow. I'm almost broke again, so am hoping I can go there without spending too much money. Maybe just something small at a food vendor's. I want to go listen to the music, and see if I run into anyone I know. People come back to the Haight who have moved somewhere else for the fair, so I'm hoping I'll run into someone from the past. Who knows, maybe even someone who wants to hang out (and can buy me dinner)?
I dyed my hair soft black with metallic burgundy highlights yesterday. It looks pretty good as long as I use mousse and wear make-up. I had a friend take pictures of me yesterday (in case I want to go indie) so I might upload one of the tamer ones to my user-pics if I can remember how to do it. I'll have to figure it out anyway if I want to advertise.
I get to do special appts. again at the place that had me on enforced leave of absence, and one of my regulars wants to see me on Friday. I booked him and everything is cool, so that's more money (which I really need right now).
Went to an accoustic open mic last night and was completely bored. I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to do the spoken word the M.C. said I was allowed to do (I was number 17 and there was also a feature. I went to an art gallery thingie next door to the place. I ran into this guy I've always thought was pretty weird. He started talking to me about Mike's death, and I just didn't want to go there just then - too painful. He obviously didn't know Mike and I were lovers for the six months prior to his death. I told him I was there for the booze so I had to go get some. Then, there was a line for the bar, and I didn't want to deal with that, so I just left. Funny, the song that was playing when I got to the gallery opening was about "Another Twist in my Sobriety" or whatever it was called. Mike had cirrhosis when he died, and I used to be in AA and the whole thing was just too much. Boring, too-hip art too, and over-priced hipster t-shirts that were part of the "art" too. The whole store/gallery is over-priced and terminally "hip".
Well, we'll see if I actually go to the fair tomorrow. I have strained muscles all over my body from carrying too heavy backpacks to work and to the East Bay and back, so it might be too much for me to deal with physically. I may just mess around on-line, and maybe try to compose an ad to put on Craigslist.
