betcha they'd just nail him up, if he come back again

I think I've complained before of a certain involuntary stoicism on my part. A wish that I should be more easily moved. (unlike a tree that's planted by the water?) Not that I've any particular hardships to be stoic about. Life is a bourgeois breeze. Whatever claims to poverty I had as a student who summered as a construction labourer are gone -

So, I assume you overcame your "crisis of conscience" and ended up at Coachella and Stagecoach?

some joggers got blown up in Beantown

That's a pretty crass way of putting it, don't you think? As someone who used to live in the area, I found it totally surreal following the story of the manhunt.

Went to Stagecoach, yes. Just got back.

Everything about the bombings and the aftermath was pretty crass. And if there were an elegant way of putting it, I sure as shit wasn't gonna find it after four or five stiff glasses of whiskey.

So did your girlfriend get to go to Coachella, while you were at Stagecoach, or did she have to go to your thing because of your "crisis of conscience"? Either way, hope y'all had a good time.

I'm not too elegant after a few whiskeys, either. My monocle has usually dropped into my glass. I don't know about crass, but people I knew were having to shelter-in-place while tanks rolled by outside their window looking for a nineteen year old boy. The US has officially gone insane.

Stagecoach is the weekend after Coachella, and she was entirely on board for it. Mostly she wanted an excuse to make use of her Dad's resort property, and once she saw the lineup for Stagecoach we were on the same page. Coachella had long since sold out anyway. But we had a blast.

Well, ground troops are officially obsolete overseas now that there are "precision" drones which instantly transmogrify any adult male they kill into an enemy combatant. So might as well bring the troops home and have 'em do suburban security in a new police-state technocracy.

How was Palm Springs?

Palm Springs was a blast. It was a busy, frenetic weekend tightly wedged in between two full work weeks and it took us a while to recover. But totally worth it.
