Comfort is overrated

Will probably spend most of the day sweating in the August sun, jostling elbows with thousands of people and wanting to be where I ain't.  Music festival outdoors along the waterfront downtown, zydeco and blues and gospel and Franco and Celtic, four stages simultaneous and two acts you want to hear both but both on at the same time.  Choose between steel band and voudou drums and and Hardinger fiddle and bluegrass . . .

Feet are gonna hurt tonight.

Vaguely insulted

The guy at the beer tent didn't really have to laugh when I asked if he needed ID.

(Probably didn't help the issue a bit that my hat is old enough to drink, an Aussie army bush hat acquired before the fall of Saigon . . .)
