Had a good night last night. Had dinner with Arlie Carstens, Amanda Marsalis and Fasil Debeb. Good Thai food up on Hawthorne.

Good food, good conversation. We rounded the night out with a drink at the Shanghai Tunnel; which is downtown, in Berbati’s basement. Word is, back in the day this little basement was a good place to get Shanghai’ed onto a ship in the Willamette. Whoa. I found myself watching over my back for any shady sea-faring types. I had a little Oly and called it a night.

Please check out the respective links features above. I am very lucky to be surrounded by creative, progressive, good people. Inspiring folks. The sort of stuff that makes this little world go around for me. Thanks.

And on an even brighter note: Melissa is coming out for the weekend to hang. It’ll be good to see her.
