ever dumbening My nostalgia_stomach is stirring again. For the food. For the music. The dancing. For the angle of the sun at this time of day, this time of year. For getting on my bike and pointing it towards the fairgrounds. For the primal scream I unleash as I step onto the infield. For the party poles. For the gospel tent. For the friends, family, and lovers that dance with me there. For the damp smell of straw covering the rainy ground. For the chance to touch something holy, without force, without obligation. For the blurry boundary between the sun and the notes, warming. 040425

ever dumbening Gabby called me today, from the fairgrounds. It warmed my heart. She said she hoped I wasn't jealous, but I was really just excited to feel connected to my old town, my old broken town, and my warm dusty alter. 060429

nocturnal I'll be there next weekend, thank god! I missed last year b/c I was out of the country, and I'm missing this weekend because of stupid life-ruining law school. I still haven't gotten over missing bob dylan just to fail my civ pro exam. I hate my life. can't wait to be back at the fairgrounds!!!!! 060429

ever dumbening looking at the schedule just shreds the lining of my stomach. i ache for this place this time this music. choices that would get me to or leave me apart from the fairgrounds. choices on the fairgrounds. choices of money, of spirit, of cost/benefit curves. why, again, can't we have it all? 080329
