It's almost 1 o clock and no one else but me is awake. Tony has been here for 3 days now, you couldn't even imagine how joyous I was when I got to the trainstation and I had to wait an hour for him but it didn't matter, how joyous I was when I saw him picking up his bags and just waited anxiously by the glass door, he hadnt even seen me yet. I just threw my arms around him and said "Good to see you baby." And we just held each other for a minute. So nice. We went to The Port of Call (where Warhola works) and got him some food and a monsoon, I showed him around the neighborhood, and I was a little worried at first because I didn't see the magic high in him that I had seen in everyone else. The next day we went to Iron Rail (which I am to be a volunteer librarian very soon!!!!!!!!) and he was in heaven. Zines, books, flyers, papers, everything an anarchist boy dreams of. He bought some zines and I checked a book out for him. We went to the river and sat on the Ferry and just rode it back and forth several times, feeling the cool misty spray hit our skin. I told him this is a Scorpio city, which, is awesome for Warhola and Tony, they have so many things in the stars in common its crazy. Tony really likes Warhola and I'm glad. But I still hadn't seen the New Orleans high in him yet. So yesterday, we went to City Park with his guitar and some writing materials and books and sat by the calm part of the river and talked about Rage Against the Machine, poetry, self identity, words, life, sterotypes, everything. We took the street car back up to the CBD, and then walked down Bourbon to the house. We changed clothes and hopped on the longboards for the Why are We Building Such a Big Ship? show. Kerry Leigh had called and said she was in St. Roch tavern getting a drink, the show wasn't on time. So we went over there and sat down at the bar. Tony looked nervous, he was at a bar! I asked KL what she was drinking and she was having fruity bourbon, so I ordered a bourbon and coke, one for me, one for tony. His eyes got wide, he couldn't believe it. There it was, the high. We chatted with KL for a little bit, got another drink, talked about these AWESOME FUCKING PANTS I got for 10 dollars, big ship, new orleans, underwear, target superstores. Finally the show started and we went back to the Side Arm Gallery for it. A beautiful blues duo played first and it was soooooo amazing and wonderful, Tony was tipsy and grinning like a fool. After that was a Tegan and Sara esque twin girl duo from Canada who played mandolin and sang like German folk songs about demons and shit. We made them come back for an encore. We ran up to the shell after that and I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Yeah okay life is over right now hahaha. We got so drunk, I was so fucking sexy looking yesterday, shit I looked fucking good! Sorry I was just thinking about that. But yeah, we come back and it's time for Big Ship. Everyone stamps their feet and claps their hands and they start playing and walt is just silly and laughing and everyone knows when to chant and we danced all night and finished the whiskey. We come outside and Tony says, this is the greatest city on earth. And I smile and hug him and say, yes sweetie, that's why I live here. I was on Warhola's board and he was on mine and I fell a good 3 times on the way home, I have a serious bruise on my ass, but we just laughed, we were so drunk. I've never been drunk with Tony before. It was quite fun. We got home and started watching A love song for bobby long and pointing out things we had walked by earlier, all the scenes that take place like one block away. We finally crashed in at 4 am, and now they are all still sleeping and it's fucking 115. I went to Mardi Gras zone and got soymilk and juice and the newspaper for the kids and they ain't even up! I think today will be a quiet one inside, reading, talking, you know. The quiet stuff. And man did tony's bud get me blitzed. -_-. Like not functioning.
:D
