Some guy named Alvaro is in our foyer with lots of children showing breakdancing moves while his iPod plays Beethoven, the 5th, first mvt., at the moment.
Just put out a bunch of Japanese records from the 1960s.
A kid shows one of mine the lotus position. Lots, obviously, going on.
But, sadly, I can't see the neighbors appreciating this. It's just too loud. Probably just the way Ludwig van liked it. It has also cleared the store of customers which is never a good thing.

Ben Rosenbloom's Group tomorrow night (that's Sunday the 26th)
Someone actually paid me back in full for a loan I made in December. I guess I should feel good but maybe I celebrated too much last night.
Ben Rosenbloom is the next musical guest. I think he's got a quartet and it's kind of jazzy, kind of free jazzy. Let's see what happens. Starts at 8.
Reading Sideways by Rex Pickett and so far I've got a few favorite lines:
"'The Internet is a dark road to infinity potholed with links,' I opined. 'For a writer, it's like shitting where you eat.'"
"All around us, open fields of resplendent heather pastured daydreaming livestock chewing their cuds in the lazy mid-afternoon sun."
Why does that remind me of Fitzgerald? It probably shouldn't.
Funny how the internet is capitalized.

Riner Scivally this Thursday
It's the first week of summer vacation and boy am I exhausted! But I've taught the kids how to use Netflix streaming on the Wii. That should come in handy as the season progresses. Back at the store, we have a duo of musical talent on Thursday the 16th starting at around 5:30. They start a little earlier than most on the day of the farmers' market. Riner Scivally with Lorenzo Grassi, both on guitars.
As far as books go I've been a little concerned about the future. I mean, sales have been okay; our average is up but I'm concerned about what happens when our lease ends in another three years. Sure wish we had more understanding landlords. Like, why is it that they have to raise the monthly 3% every year no matter what?
A recent incident has prompted me to remind people that our hold policy is for one week only. There's just not enough space on the shelf. Isn't a week ample enough time to bum money from someone?
Alright, time to bring in the carts.
Oh, one more thing: Guy Bennett and Linda Lay will be doing a poetry reading on Sunday the 19th at 4pm, each reading for about 20 minutes. Find out more about each of them at http://www.guybennett.com/# and/or http://www.lindalay.com/ .
