yamamanamaSally started out using the Green Line D Branch to get into Boston but now she’s discovered that the Red Line is faster. When there isn’t construction. She’s been going to a lot lot lot of protests and one of the signs she found was Do It For Him with a picture of Captain Planet. So many protests, in fact, that she can't keep track of them. The woman’s march gained nothing but sought nothing and we think the real purpose of the rallies was solidarity and to send a message that Trump didn't get a majority of votes. She noticed that I tend to draw people with pointed chins.
Corey is a photographer but her mother makes all kinds of art.
The cat’s name is Halo. I don’t know why I thought otherwise. Maybe I’m mixing her up with Phoebe.
The Van Burens are “nerd funk” which means they have guitars, drums, trombone, and a cardboard cutout of John F. Kennedy. They did a reggae-funk cover of the Ballad of Czolgosz from Assassins.
Strangeways is a homage to British indie music.
A tattooed woman with curly hair was painting mountains and trees in autumn foliage against a pink and orange sky but decided she didn’t like how it came out and made it a blue face rising from the sea instead.
I ran into Kerri while she was checking out anti-Trump pins and listening to a band affiliated with HONK and she asked me “didn’t we go to high school together?” and my response is “didn’t we have this same exact conversation a year or two ago? Kerri, right?" She had a pendant of a piece of red recycled glass and a metal butterfly.
Emma was organizing a protest against property speculation, which, while immoral, is not actually illegal, and that's a pretty major problem.
I mistook someone for Peaches yet again and he says that everyone else mistakes him for Peaches so I’m going to call him “that guy everyone mistakes for Peaches.” I thought that someone was Ashley because they were both pale and she was wearing sunglasses and I’m wondering if I should say something but then I’m like “wait, Ashley doesn’t have earrings.”
A woman had indigo hair and tattoos of ferns that looked like ferns and not eurypterids. Sarah had an elephant pendant of black and red and gold.
Sophie didn't have her squeezebox or her marionette; she had a melodica.
They sang Which Side Are You On, which I associate with Natalie Merchant, although I have no reason to assume she wrote it, after all, she sang Linden Lea and that’s by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Nay, in fact, it was a song written about a miners’ rebellion in 1930s Kentucky.
Paul McAuley came to the conclusion that unrestrained growth is not sustainable in the long run, in what I wanted to say is Fairyland or 400,000,000,000 Stars.
A woman had tattoos of a moth, a haunted castle behind a moon, a carousel horse. Warm colors, like reds and yellows, and blacks. A woman had a tattoo of cloaked druid with antlers in front of a natural cauldron, a moonlit and starlit forest. A woman had an ouroboros tattoo.
The New Dakotas are an indiepop band. And they do have a bandcamp. They performed a few covers, one of which was from the 70s and that's all Emily can tell you about it, and they performed a new song that nobody’s ever heard before. Maybe Emily has. I didn’t think to ask her. And they do have a bandcamp. Emily didn’t know that. I like Bandcamp. It’s not like Pandora or maybe Spotify, in which I have to pay subscription fees.
Emily was reading Fahrenheit 451, which is the first Ray Bradbury book she’s ever read and I think it was the first I read as well. I know I didn’t read the Martian Chronicles until high school and I didn’t read Dandelion Wine or Something Wicked This Way Comes until I started volunteering at the Wildlife Center. She's dating the guitarist and that explains how she can sing along with them. She does a bit of singing but not with the band, and she has what the Robot Devil’s old music teacher, Mrs. Mellinger, calls “stupid fingers” so she’s not a visual artist. In fact, she’s lucky to master a belt buckle.
Isabella has cotton candy colored hair and a snake ring. Alexa has night-black hair fading to mesopelagic blue, and several gold necklaces. Normally, they’re accompanied by other members on drums and lead guitar, including a third sister named Kassia, but this time they played a stripped down set with Isabella on electric drumkit and Alexa on keyboards.
The last song they played is Somewhere, which is the first song they wrote and the last song on their album.
They did a remix of a remix of a remix. It was a little bit more laid back than normal, Alexa said.
Kenna writes short stories. She was zoned out when I was drawing her and then she noticed me and asked for a photograph of it at a time I was eating.
I’m not sure what happened to the Mark Chenevert - Josh Criswell Duo.
Parma Chai has fiddle and percussion. She played Béla Bartók’s Romanian Dances on violin, and it was so awesome that one of the parts broke.
One of the songs the Mike Hastings Band played was an environmental love song. One of them was really good. They have a bunch of songs on their bandcamp so I'll have to figure out what that song was.
Asha is either a lot better with women, which is weird because she’s not a rescue dog, or uncomfortable with other dogs and I very definitely smelled like about 20 dogs, including that big fluffy dog, a different husky, a dog that someone called a shih-tzu but whose owner suspects is a papillon-cavalier king charles spaniel mix, a russet-colored doge named Kitty, a corgi, and my pug.
Sodawars played shoegazy shimmery pop, including a cover of I Will Follow You Into The Dark. One guy wasn’t so enthusiastic but the rest of us didn’t care about his opinion.
A woman had pink hair and a firebird tattoo and a glyph above it that looked like it was carved into her flesh.
Sara has a really piercing gaze. She’s nice, but it’s somewhat off-putting at first.
A woman had a tattoo of a crescent moon with flowers growing on it. She was reading a book about Europeans’ first encounters with pangolins, pineapples, and penguins. So immersed in that book, in fact, that we didn't really talk until we got off.
The train driver thanked us for our patience and cooperation and wished us a good night. It was still Bloomsday when I got home.
burning question: All day again and again. All moanday, tearsday, wailsday in one. A paring from the fingernail of time. And isn't history the nightmare from which we're all daying to awake? Though to what else? So yes I say, yes I will. Yes.
