Hoan Hyunh came up to Andrew and I on Saturday while we stood in uptown with signs pressing ICE to ask if we were okay after being flipped off by a jerk driving by. Today ICE tried to bust out his car window with a gun.

30-40 minutes after using my allergy eye drops, I get a horrid metallic taste. It’s awful and it ruins the taste of my tea. But I’m not bleary and itchy.

I keep thinking about last week’s Nick Cave concert. I had known he’d play “Cinnamon Horses”. But chuckled at my friends when he introduced the song. It’s so beautiful, even if it’s about masking grief. www.nickcave.com/lyric/cinnam...

If you’re ever stuck in an elevator, just call 911. Then tell press the call button to tell the elevator company they need a technician. Because they won’t call 911 unless someone is dying.

I just hugged a bassist who played with Shane McGowan after I asked his band to play Nancy Whiskey. He played it. While crying. I thanked him for his music, explained the impact. He hugged. I bought us whisky. We cried. I’m going to bed. He has another gig. #thatlife
