^SY usually hit Asheville on their big America tours...so you might be flooded with SY fans fairly soon.

Kewl. I'll be among them.

is that you with the tennis band? is that date rape real or fake?

I have no idea what the hell is happening there. Probably some raver guy raping a ptot.

it's a good photo. before i saw the embedded logo i thought it was yours. of course you couldn't daterape and photograph at the same time, unless you set up your tripod and all that crap.

it's like a low-rent version of cindy sherman's movie stills somehow.

that, or i'm a bit buzzed.

That guys is an idiot. I can see the Cindy Sherman reference.

in vino veritas

I don't feel like translating. Anyways how have you been?

working nights, these past couple of days, that's why i've been here at these hours.

en el vino, la verdad

entiendes?

I see, make that money. Now I understand.

yeah-- this recession has been shit. work has dried up so i must cram again, like in the old days.

i'm happy to be making some money though. it's tight, but i buy my wine at costco, ha ha ha.

HAHA, costco wine. OMG you shop there too?

had to, when shit started going down. i used to be a whole foods whore.

anyway, costco is fucking gold. a bottle of gnarly head red zin that sells at whore foods for $11 is $8 at costco. fucking a right.

also, the seafood rules. and the frozen fish and seafood, oh... i had scallops the size of a small cellphone!

LOL true, thank you for paying my checks man. I never had scallops and never seem to have it. I want to go to a good sea food restaurant.

eh, restaurants are overrated. i cook like the fucking gods. ha ha ha.

no really, all you need for scallops is a good pan to grill them with a little butter or olive oil. you might wanna toss some shallots or something. it's not difficult.

Cool, I will look a good recipe for them.

they cook fast. just make sure theyre well defrosted. if you overcook the get chewy.

i'd recommend the suppa-classic coquilles st. jacques if you wanna get fancy. but i mean, it's a piece of cake.
