1:25pm – where the devil are they? I hope they’re ok. I assume it’s the unknown territory {I was right, they got lost} Geez, they need benches in front of the theatre here!

1:45 – they arrive. *phew* they’re not dead.

So, I met Tarpo and Isis… both are sweet folks, nice to talk to, and fun people. (listening to the CD Tarpo burned for me, what a hoot! Christmas songs of all manner and stripe.. most groovy. Fave is Rowlf & John Denver singing ‘Have yourself a merry little Christmas’, but they’re all phenom…

So, we talked about all sorts of stuff, toured the museum of cartoon art, got sodas, sat by the fountain, gabbed, walked a bit more, window shopped, saw a strange group of entertainers, including a little boy dressed as a top… and a woman singing just a wee bit off-key. we drove around a bit, got ot see the mall of the dead, the strip mall of sin… and ended up at Hops for a meal… (the home-brewed root beer was especially nummy.) After they got to swing past my hovel, and say hi to Newt…He was very friendly, if a bit agressive after many minutes of petting and photography. 🙂
