a saturday nite

spent sat nite - that'd be satnite the twentyone - goin' a lot of places. orig. went out to eat, but mismanagement led us to go to a quick place - but a place we like- world of wingery - near neils church on about 13th and halsted. ate sandwiches, and unlikely-likely, we actually finished totally what we had on our plates - somewhat unique in our outings - per usual, it was wonderfood - strasser sailed north by northwest till we got to quecnhers, fullerton and western.




this was a gathering of the young guard - and what was noted mainly was the strenght of the gathering. in this day and age of age and children and longterm boyfrenz, the fading of the former dynamic of the social component of this group - resembling leipzig more than waterloo - has always been appearnt. but this nite, it was a nite when the squadrons reassembled and it wasn't just the Lifeguards...




obs. this gathering was fer bdays - an historic bday grouping of the Lifeguards in the past has produced wondernites throughout the years, and this was the reason given to gather this nite. funny - i felt like talking- really did - but somehow sequestered meself into a corner -towering Lifeguards arund me, no doubt - but selfsequestered, esp. in the context of 'mouthwantingtorun' ... but selfsequester...




but, satisfied that this group can still pack a deadly punch...




worried that the last stop of the nite would be wronged, we then sailed east by north to see bully pulpit playing their guitars and drums for us... first playing - we raced to get there on time, only to be an hour early - was spouse - and he/they (liz bustamante drummed a bit) was/were good. one song was outstanding - that one where he played what, bass only? funny to watch liz bustamante on the side of the stage rocking totally out during the set when she wasnt on stage.

pulpit rocked hard. liz bustamante drumming again, rock sitting, can't see processeds eyes, homes strumming. kinda funny now to hear 'supercore' now, first time live, heard the notes and it was like 'oh yeah'. the 'duckswiming across the water' song still played in the new style. it was good to see them.




curtis was kinda there - not seen until seemingly druken walking out. sat w/ orf, dragon, and bittle visits from the musicians and such. we left late.
