On the itinerary tonight is a trip to Echo Park to see howardAmb perform at Echo Curio. As I sit here watching the Dodgers vs. Padres game, currently tied at 1-1, no balls, 1 strike, 1 out in the top of the 5th, (OH MAN, THROWING ERROR TO FIRST ALLOWS THE DODGER ON FIRST TO ADVANCE!) I am enjoying the loud cheers from Dodger fans in the stands, despite it being an away game for us. It's going to be difficult to peel myself away from this game. Maybe it'll end before it's time to leave for the show tonight. Wishful thinking.
Also on my mind is what to pack for two weeks in Maine. I managed to get all the clothes I want to bring into my little timbuk2 tote bag I received as a gift at the Dwell design conference in Palm Springs several years ago. I love that bag. It has traveled with me many places and has never let me down. Now I can allow myself to think about the extra things I would want to bring.
On my list:
- White Noise, so I can finish it.
- DSLR for pictures, of course.
- Mini notebook + pen
The question is, should I bring my laptop? With limited connectivity at my destination, it seems not worth it, but I have an unwarranted attachment to the wretched black and silver piece of hardware. It may be tucked away the whole time of my trip, but I'll find comfort knowing that it is there.
Speaking of comfort, I am liking the fact that it is currently Dodgers 3, Padres 1, at the top of the 6th. Vin Skully announcing it, is the icing of the cake.
Goodbye LA, for now. I'll miss ya.
