I'm here, now.
Anonymous asked: Are you going to "The Beatles: The Lost Concert" movie premier in a few weeks?
Haven’t heard of it until now, where is it, I’d love to go to that.
I normally don’t plan ahead, but a friend invited me to her cabin in the woods with about 20 other friends for spring break. She described it to me as if we were talking a dream; isolation from reality, good food, chemicals, live music and happy friends, so of course I agreed. A group of four, including myself, drove the road to freedom, laughing off our recent work loads. In no time, we arrived at this beautiful wooden cabin built by my friend, Emma,’s father. I was in awe, the fridge was stocked, a relaxing record spun, a fire was being poked and prodded, but best of all, we were away from prevalent technology. There was not a single TV in the house, no internet, we did our best to keep cell phones away. It all came down to the old fashioned fun, when people had to entertain themselves and the others around them. We reclined from the journey by cracking out the giggle juice and kept most conversations lite, until night when politics and existentialism became topics of interest. Meanwhile, upstairs in a sound proof room, there sat an assembly of cross-legged admirers watching amazing musicians going at it. The highlights usually happened in the kitchen and at the table. We garnered all our food and skills and created heaven within hours. We smoked and drank at the table, during and after meals. After breakfast day two, me and four others stayed at the table and improved a “NPR” recording we named “Table Talk,” bringing all silly issues “to the table,” and then using the other guests as callers. We went at this for about twenty minutes and then had a brilliant acapella doo-wop/blues song sesh. The moral of this story: we do not need screens to satisfy and occupy ourselves. After 3 days, I realized the computer and phone are not my life, only pieces of it.
