I started this blog under the impression that most of its material would be conceived between the hours of two and six in the morning. I also had no idea I would be waking up at 5:30 A.M. (ET) every morning to make it to The Hotline for 7:00 A.M. So, I'll blog whenever I can while staying true to my title. And, I'll get to The Hotline later.
This city is incredible. Everyone has a very important place to be and not much time to get there. And they run. People sprint down the sidewalk to catch buses and taxis. I'm expecting to turn the next corner and see the Cloverfield monster climbing up the side of a building and destroying monuments. People run up and down escalators to the metro, even when it's clearly visible that the metro hasn't arrived, and I catch myself doing it now. It's like Mardi Gras on Bourbon St (minus the booze, vomit and transvestites). Once you get caught up in the sea of people, you go with the flow or you drown.
Thanks to Michael Silver and Dr. Lee and her wonderful family, I'm picking up my guitar from her brother in Virginia today. I am forever in debt.
A preview of posts to come: Exorcism at 30,000 ft., The Mighty Chewbacca, Staying Crunk in the ATL, Meeting Ron Paul, The National Press Foundation Awards Dinner, DC Bars and People, The Hotline, Roommates, Interns, etc...
