(8,709 posts)This weekend, step-son drops by and talked about the movie, Creed. And we laughed about how Stallone is going to milk the franchise even from beyond. Son proceeded excitedly to tell me he's from Maryland! Then told him exactly where, Takoma Park. Best jazz in town, including D.C., at Takoma Station, as we used to call it back in the '90s. Never knew who would drop in while on concert tours in the area and their house band, Donald Byrd's old group, The Blackbyrds, drew the crowd in. I did attend one Festival as a teen and loved it, first time I had my face painted - blue with daisies
Another connection, San Diego, is where I am now and running into Senator Boxer. We were passing each other by on the street and she smiled so warmly. I was like what a sweetheart. OMG, I realized in the hustle bustle, that's Sen. Boxer. Shouted, Love You, Senator. She turned around waved and laughed.
She's not the only one I've seen here walking around, not necessarily doing anything. That's how it's done, engagement on every level. Unfortunately now I'm in Issa territory. Fuck. But it's a diverse areas and I've met nothing but cool people in this part of the county.
I can't even think of Steele without a snarl creeping on my face.
