Bernie is a sweety, she's sorta swapped posts on one of the FB groups, she lives super close to the Agoura venue. It's probably still fairly rural, an outlier from Los Angeles (I haven't been to these places for a while, we drove through them when I was a kid, and I think Amtrak goes through there too). Lots of pepper trees.

Came over to post that the second Sunday night at Yoshi's is on sale now, and it also appears to be a VIP meet and greet thing. I'm not going to that (driving home so I can earn more money and work!) but it is an opportunity for anyone who wishes the Meet and Greet thing and didn't get it yet.

Hey I dunno leslee, you can figure out the schedule.... I'm getting a room (keeping it secret too) would be happy to split with you. I have a lot of building hunts planned for Los Angeles, so I'll be very unfun, babbling about textile blocks.

OH you requested a shrink. Putting it on the line/beep (this call may be monitored for quality assurance)

(in a very good German accent) So tell me how you feel about that? Do you talk to your Soulmate in your dreams? And what does he say to you??? What would your plans be if your Soulmate and you could be married and live "happily ever after"? Keep a dream diary, take two aspirins and call me in the morning! (beep)

Going OT, yes I went out and googled her house. It's a typical crib (half a**ed) off FLW, some good qualities. Obviously the designer studied FLW. Lots of nice cosmetic touches.

Jury's still out on soulmates here in this brain.

Back to the solo tour and no veering off topic........... last I looked there were still meet and greet tickets left for Sunday night at Yoshi's. However, I plan to be far to the north by then. I can only do so much, and like I say, I'll believe it when I see it. Mostly I just wanted a nice ticket in a decent seat.

The rest of your post, I'm gonna ignore. There are some days I do believe in Dr. Spock.

The new Discover magazine showed up with something about Dr. Freud, so taking the magazine to the bath with me. Rolled up.

Not wooth............ WOOTH....

Sure (tink). For your reading pleasure, I recommend *I am Not Spock* by Leonard Nimoy. He said he had people come to him all the time to be cured. Beatles, same story............ John Lennon was quite cruel in a few interviews about it.

Music IS very good medicine, but it does not give us license to demand things from the musicians.

Dr. Wooth is the butt of many psychology jokes... I was just talking about Phil Zimbardo today in a class. HE'S my shrink hero, and Dr. Jung of course. Daddy Jung. Dr. Ruth had a good gig going... like the Kirschners and their carrot juice. It's all about the way you present that health babble to the unsuspecting public.... tell them what they want to hear, and money will pour into your pockets. Ditto Uri Geller.

People see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

I like Discover because it catches me up (albeit about two years too late) and is easy reading. If I really like something in there, naturally one goes and researches further. They tell good stories. I like the doctor's case studies the best. There is something to be said for easy reading. I'll lay it down if it taxes my brain too much. Like their astronomy articles, BOOOORing.......... if that's all you read, no wonder you don't like it. Pretty lame actually.

I'll work on something to get Justin to laugh. I made Graeme laugh in an elevator once long ago. Humor can be a very individualized thing. I think he was grinning a little wider when you got your photo with them, truly.

You can keep the paperclip if I succeed.

Here's the link for Sunday night in San Francisco, meet and greet with Justin

Like I say, I'm spending that $100 on gas money to get home Sunday, so I can maybe work Monday and pay for some crimes. Won't be there.

Heheeh yeah I agree. Mike's a nice guy, I'll say hi. But I do mostly want the nicer ticket.

Yeah it seems like a lot of rehashing.... tho there is one article involving the "black hole at the center of the galaxy which might be going into an active phase" that was mildly interesting. All those magazines tend to lean left anyway, so I've dropped a lot of subscriptions, having plenty coming in by Internet. Did I ever tell you I used to date a relative of Goddard's? Reggie Goddard. He was a real case.... the type who would lay down his motorcycle and walk away without a scratch. Wanted to raise our children together.... I chickened out, he was pretty active. I'm the quietly neurotic bookworm type, and get grumpy if disturbed too much. Ah those were the days. Wonder if he's still alive.

Yeah and then Stephen Hawkins had just said he was wrong about the threshold business on the edge of Black Holes. Pretty funny

WELL fancy that! Justin at the Coach House, SJC

Moody Patti, you ROCK, thank you!!!! (stolen with extreme prejudice off TER)

Troubadour attendees:

Be sure that you print out the ATTACHMENT to whatever you got in the email from Tickefly. Down in the corner at the bottom is an itty bitty blue "pdf" file, click on that. They had so many marketing things attached I was really having trouble with it. Not sure that's the final real ticket or if mine is in Will Call (the mind goes first) but be sure to get the ATTACHMENT to the email.
