Orbishness
Mar. 20th, 2006 09:41 amMany thx, first off, to the drivers
mike_pett and
nightrythm as well as to all the other participants who joined in the party (crammed into the truck) and helped make it such a delightful night! I had a most marvelously stupendous amazing mind-meltingly awesome (insert other extreme superlatives here) night at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Sat - a truly grand place for such an event: lights, music, dancing, music, quite the show, great people-watching, music, booming, beating, trancing. Much of it left me speechless, without words, awestruck. Luckily I've found 'em again. So I say...you can make up your own minds ;-P
Bookending the music was Mr. Ramen (thank goodness it's open LATE) and Foxy's (love that place). And really, one of the best parts of the whole experience was afterwards, basking in the morning sun, listening to birds chirp punctuated by the occasional train whistle w/Amazing Grace and other quiet reflective pretty danged spiritual music playing and
nightrythm alternatively singing along, reading poetry, and quoting Shakespeare. Earlier I stood high up at the windows of the WDCH watching the sky slowly and subtly lighten as the sun rose w/the music playing away in the background, one of many high points, although, really, there were so very very many I can hardly believe it.
At some point during the show I found myself beginning, possibly, the process of breaking up with Los Angeles. Part of me feels that it's as if just as it's really beginning to feel like a place I quite like living...it's time to move on...yet at various times I've ached to leave. Still, there's a certain mindset (much of it emotional) that I find myself falling into, a certain detaching (even more so than the usual), a certain letting go (with regret, certainly...but also new hope, perhaps). Nothing's certain, certainly not now. But I'm trying to let myself be open to possibilities, be there here or elsewhere. If here's where I stay, I have ideas on how to improve things, which directions in which to grow, which tasks to take on...if not, then we shall see what happens. And now: off to Getty Villa this afternoon, possibly also Ashes & Snow at the Nomadic Museum beforehand, we shall see if'n that's just too much for one day...quite possibly so, in which case we'll postpone A&S for now.
