I went out Wednesday night to view the eclipse, but it was too cloudy because it had started snowing! I got to see it later while it was partial, but missed the total eclipse.

I left for NYC that night on the bus. Bus rides are not so much fun, but I kept waking up and seeing snow, so it was okay. Do you know how excited snow gets me?

I got to James and Kevin’s place around 8 in the morning. They had made a cute little bed for me. James had to go to work, so Kevin and I laid around for a while, and then went out to tromp around town.

Last night we went to Town Hall to see The Magnetic Fields. Our seats were absolutely perfect. We were in the front row of the the balcony, near the center. The show was everything I expected. Stephin Merrit was dry and cocky and as cute as a bear. They played two 45 minute sets, with a 15 minute intermission.

The two girls behind us were taking photos, and I hope they remember to email me some. And I have yet to find a set list online.

After the show, Kevin was hosting a party called Ruby at a place called Ultra. We only stayed for an hour. I was one of about 5 biological girls there. Oh, and when we were leaving some guy came up to me and started spouting a whole bunch of nonsense. He was like an auction announcer guy, he was talking so fast. And all I really picked up on was “beautiful”, “leaving”, and “europe”. He stopped talking and looked at me for a response. I told him that it was a lot to take in and I missed a big chunk of it, and then he started licking my cheek. Mmmm hmmm. True story.

We left the club around midnight and it had started snowing! Again, excitement overload for Atlanta. We went to a bar down the street with a friend of their’s called Jeff. And then we headed back to Harlem and played in the snow, and ate serious junk food at a diner. I had a vanilla milkshake and a grilled tomato and cheese. There was about 2 inches of snow at this point. It was pouring snow.

We ended the evening with our usual singing and dancing revelry. It snowed until noon today. And now we’re gonna head out and play in twelve hours worth of snow and dine at our beloved El Cantinero.
