Eureka retrospective

Simply put, Eureka was wonderful. I really enjoyed the time I had there and I wish I could have spent more time there. I also wish I had seen Jurassic Park II recently.

Hanging out with Dave was a trip. We used to be very much on the same page, musically. I've really diverged in recent years, so our time in the control booth was really surreal. For example: "this is the song you sent me that got me into Television, back when I wanted a Fender Jazzmaster so bad" (me). "Yea, this is a sweet Jazzmaster song" (dave). It really took me back, which was weird because it took me back with someone whom I haven't known in a personal context. Oh - Bronski Beat on the radio, WOOOOO.

Back to work today... I woek up late and realized I had left my wallet on the bus from Bakersfield. I have to take care of that tomorrow when the right person is in her office. I missed my train so I caught the one 20 minutes later. Somehow, because of a miraculous lack of traffic, I arrived at work on time.

Today Barry Bostwick, aka Brad from Rocky Horror and the mayor from Spin City, parked in the lot to go to the Sprint store. He was very nice, but since I didn't act like I knew who he was (I learned working at Guitar Center, which had the occasional celebrity/rockstar, that you treat the average Joe like a rockstar and you treat the rockstar like an average Joe) so he examined my face with a lopsided squint to see if he could tell that I recognized him. I told my Uncle what happened when he came by later to check up on me. Then before my Uncle left he introduced my to Larry Zucker, of the Zucker brothers, aka the men that changed comedic cinema forever. One of the nicest guys in the world...

The ride home was myseriously devoid of traffic. I got to Union Station a half hour earlier than I normally do.
