I'm In A New York Plate Of Rind.

I got back on Monday night after my flight was delayed for an hour or so. I miss New York but i'm glad to be back with my family who I missed very much. The trip started early Saturday morning. By mistake (or accident) I ended up being on the same plane with two of the Thursday's Children. I brought along Bob Spitz's Beatles book and i read that on the plane. I'm an avid beatlereader and I've been avoiding this one 'cause the some of the picture credits are wrong. If these were wrong, how could the book be right? Well, I was mistaken. It's a really good book...so far. Anyway, my uncle met me at the airport and we went back to his place on 93rd in Manhattan. We stayed long enough to drop things off and we walked Central Park.

When we got to the outside of the Dakota where John was murdered, I got a weird chill and I felt very sad. We continued on through Strawberry Fields and decided to have lunch at the Boathouse. We were eating outside when I noticed my cold uticaria flaring up. It was pretty cold and I forgot my gloves and hat back at the apartment. When we got back, I took a benedryl and fought being tired the rest of the night. The next day, I dragged my uncle to the Village to see some music sites. We got to Electric Lady Studios, The Cafe Wha, and a few other cool spots. I bought a mono "Beatles' '65" at Bleeker Bob's and we had some great pizza. We also hit Ground Zero. We got back to the apartment and I ran back out with my uncle's girlfriend, Lynn. We ended up going to 30 Rockefeller Plaza and Times Square before it was time to get back for the gig.

We ended up being later than I expected 'cause we waited for my uncle Rick and aunt Carol to show up and we all took the subway. We made it to the Parkside Lounge and I was disappointed to see hardly anyone there. We didn't play for too many people but we played well. The club's snare drum was broken so the guy on after us lent me his...Thanks! Next day, I had to leave. When I woke up, they were working on the hot water pipes in my uncle's building so I couldn't have a shower. P.U.! I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff but nothing really important. Tonight, I had an Eat rehearsal after not having one for two weeks. It was hard blowing the dust off but we warmed up eventually. Tomorrow is Turkey Day but most importantly....NO WORK!!!! I do have a lot of stuff to do and i have to find some time to make Kris realize we desperately need the special edition of HELP! on DVD. Happy Thanksgiving!
