Signs point me there. Mendo. I'm back in Marin finished up a pretty hard farmer's market gig again this one solo over in Ross. The deadest farmer's market in the county, but still good people and my opportunity to make a musical statement. Argggggh! Sheesh.
I actually thought I was making some headway today, but people aren't impressed. Still putting it together. There is no way to learn but to do.
I was very tired after having a restless nights sleep under a tree somewhere. I have my air mattress and sleeping bag and all in all pretty safe but. … So finished with this weird season. Burning through money over the past months, can't seem to ask people very easily for a place to stay. I do have one tonight and tomorrow probably back up to my high ground. I think I have an apartment for me I filled out the application before I left. It may not be perfect but it just might be… perfect.
If you followed my breathless report from a couple of days ago on Facebook it's from August 12… anyways later that same day. My friendly tavern up there The Shanachie was providing me with more interesting conversations and good people. Someone tells me about some apartment we agree to check it out only he is not going to go home early and I am weary and not into whiskey shots from some Honky Tonk woman… (Forgive me boys) (She had to throw me right across her shoulder, now I just cant seem to drink you off my mind. You know the tune don't you?) I get directions on my own find this rental unit in an area he referred to as 'the ghetto' or maybe a ghetto so at Midnight after a drive through dark trees out of town I come to this zone of cheap looking units by the road, duplexes etc nothing very exciting, but there are people up and about, looks like the Dead Head scene.. I see the For Rent sign and pull up immediately people are asking me about the car. For Sale?
So there it is right there at this one bedroom duplex vacant is the young guy who wants to pay me a pretty decent amount of money for the vehicle and I would be able to solve the problem of how do I sell the car if I don't have a place to put my stuff and there it could be. A cheesy little kitchen, a bedroom, I could have a place to even put up my stereo and listen to music again.. sigh this has been a long time waiting. The sweet people wide awake in the adjacent unit happily partying n say no problem
they can be quiet in case some old fart like me moved in. I'm skeptical very skeptical, it sits right on the road, not under trees next to the duplex there's more duplex's. The rent doesn't seem that great but Pot money is corrupting everything up here.. or maybe making a lot possible.. think positive Guy!
They even have a 'Resort' Hotel as part of the scene about 150 feet down the road there is a club where they get Top of the Line entertainment for weekends and the area is packed. Oh joy I say thinking unjoyful thoughts as I see that the greatest Hip Hop artists of the Bay area regularly play right here IY Yi Yi.. maybe not Guy, maybe you should keep on looking. On the other hand maybe I could talk them into booking a weird not quite Psychedelic band like the Substitutes.
I will take a look at other options and nothing is over or certain yet….. who knows!
