It all started at 1pm. Anne came over with half a cookie. It started out a full cookie gift but a car ride and a hungry stomach turned it into half a one. So i ate that.
Next we loaded up two bikes, a music stand, and two chairs into my car. Also a rack which i will describe in depth later. I Ben-ed it down the dryway (I'll exlain that at a later date). We first went to have the rack welded on San Fernando in Glendale. Nobody was there. So we went next door and some lady got the owner. He was missing two bottom teeth but managed to weld my rack as we played music in his shop. After we played a bunch of songs we looked over and noticed that the rack had been sitting there and that we could have left 15 minutes earlier. We asked how much and it was and he said $25. We paid and then went to Vons. The lady at the sandwich counter remembered me cause I come in there all the time. Anne and I laughed at the smokestack sandwich and the california dreamin'. i settled for a south sider and her a veggin' out. some guy had imitation slim slaw.
next we went to skid row. we parked at 7th and crocker and talked about that for at least 15 minutes.. Also we saw this guy get pulled over. We later found out it was cause his back taillight was out. BUT IT WASNT he just had it replaced.
OH wait, before we parked at 7th and crocker we drove around skid row. one lady needed cigs so i gave her change. OH!!! this lady was walkign around with what looked like a disposable camera.. so we did a U turn in the middle of 7th or crocker and asked to buy her item.. it was a box of condoms so we had to pass.. anne comented on how nice the lady's purple straw hat was.. the lady IMMEDIATELY SAID "WANT IT??" anne said no.. that would be the first of many mistakes we made today.
so we were looking for a parking spot and sat through a ton of green lights .. mostly people getting in fights, OH the lady we called "weaver" who went by us three or four times.. 80 years old on top, 20 years old on bottom. this one lady had enourmous boobs.. we would later see her smoking in a doorway and then she waved to us.. her boobs were below her waist under this dirty white sweater made from angora.
we parked and got out our bikes.. we had to move the rack to get to the bikes. we rode around and heard only two people comment on how we were out of place.. we came up with a good zinger in case somebody said "youo sure ain't from around here".. we were gonna say, no we're not.. we're from 7th and crocker. there were 10000 seafood stores around.. anne's coat got caught in Miki's bike tire every 10 minutes.. THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE when some cop cars went flyign down teh street at 10000 miles an hour.. we were gonna chase them but they were going in everywhich direction so we decided to just basically chase them for 2 seconds and then ask some guy what happened.. he surprisingly had a lot of information. anne says the guy said it was hit and run.. i don't remember that part.. nobody really talked to us on our bike.
then we went back to the car adn drove it over to 5 dollar parking.. we set up shop at the botom of the subway escalator. we made $7.37 and got an invitation to play at Edgar and Tee's Inglewood bar-b-q on the 4th of july.. most likely, he says, sponsorship is gonna come from Smart and Final and Washington Mutual. Everything is gonna be free including pony rides and bbq. he asked for our phone numbers. we gave them to him.. when we were in the middle of one song we overheard Edgar ask Lee Stoner for her phone number. Lee Stoner wears alot of lavendar and has lavendar stationary. She stood there for at least an hour. She told us it is our mission to bring joy to the world. She is Lee Stoner. She also said we shoudl play in different countries and different subway stations. She did give us $5. We ended our set with Murder She Wrote. I think we talked about L.S. before she was even out of earshot. Anne had 5 missed calls, I had none. We passed a Smart and Final on hte way back home.
