Well, I almost did NOT survive last week, literally. I'll tell the story when we meet.
Suffice it to say that our local police department will soon be asked to reimburse thousands in court costs, and to discipline a plain-clothes cop with road rage who chased, cornered, and assaulted me and then almost shot me in the head when I resisted, not knowing he was a cop (refused to identify himself even though I asked... three times!). Who knows if they might pay for psychic trauma... thank god for music to help me relax. :^D (I am avoiding watching news or any cop-related TV shows.)
PM me if you're interested in details, but I'll only send them to people I've corresponded with already.
On a brighter note, we enjoyed Seal at the Warfield last Saturday (wearing earplugs, of course), and the San Francisco Symphony at Davies on Wednesday. Tomorrow night, its Bela Fleck and the Flecktones at the Fillmore. Gotta keep those ears in calibration.
I've got some Headroom products burning in on my listening room floor (particularly the new Airhead, a newly-assembled prototype).
See you on Sunday in Oakland (where it's not the police you worry about).
