Where is the Nurse?

Saturday: Up around 8:15. Noise coming from the condo next-door. Sitting. Went out to the car to get a tee-shirt I'd forgotten to bring in. Shower. Mom made some eggs with sun-dried tomatoes for breakfast. We talked and ate from 9:15 until 10. I packed my car, and headed off.

Fairly smooth getting into NYC until the FDR. Put my car in a lot, and then headed up to Tony's arriving about 15 minutes late. We warmed up with C Major in groups of 4 up and back in three octaves. Then "Where Is The Nurse?" bass. His computers were still experiencing some finickiness after a recent drive-crash, and he spent some time trying to call-up the score. Tim arrived for a lesson.

I took my guitar and walked west on 4th, finding a courtyard with some benches. Found a spot in the sun and worked on what I'd just learned, finding it already slipping away. Then practiced other pieces for about an hour. Some black-guys walked passed and said "Play on man." A little cold to be sitting for so long. Walked back to the car, meeting Tim just leaving his lesson. Put my guitar in the car, and then wandered around. Found quite an amazing musical instrument store. Unfortunately the prices did not match the junk yard inspired presentation. A guy tried to sell me pot. Around 3:34, met AE. We wandered around for a bit, hitting a CD store, a store that sells industrial restaurant supplies, a small cafe and then a vegetarian Indian restaurant. Yum. Great conversation. We took a cab back to my car, and I gave her a ride home.

I headed north on West Side Drive, hitting traffic getting onto the GWB. Rain and snow on the way home made the drive a bit nerve wracking, but arrived safe and sound right around 1 AM. Completing the day. MB returned from a successful BD gig around 2.
