Trying to listen more than I talk. Also an engineer, a rock climber, a mural painter, & asleep.

no good photos, only a few 5-second clips of distant shaky video shot on a cheap cell to fasten the memory to the corkboard.

[Leo @messandthemagic]

it's been 10 years for me of @dessadarling concerts. First one in a new city and I found my partner's childhood friend's coworker(?) was also a fan via me, there at the show. funny to get here and find my contagion arrived first

[Leo @messandthemagic]

went to the @dessadarling show ready to win at Saxophone Prescience and Phone Flashlight Timeliness (games no one else is playing) only to find that there is an additional Ghost Combat category for which I am completely unprepared

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@SherwinBitsui pardon - in The Caravan, there is a word "nihitstilí" which I cannot find in a Navajo dictionary or elsewhere. May I ask its meaning?

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@dessadarling if you can make it within about 500 miles of Los Angeles, count me in!

BLUSH. Great for windows-down at the gas station looking wistfully into the future while the tank fills (and maybe the dude in Pump 4 waves hello?).

Available all the places music avails. #DessaBlush

I know what I'm about, Bandcamp.

@dessadarling did I get the transcription mostly right?

@dessadarling and a word from the LA show- friend & I were surrounded by people who'd come for the headliner and who *loved* your set. I think everyone in a 6-ft radius was a new fan.

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@dessadarling sad to miss the show but very, very glad y'all are making the call to keep people safe. Hope everyone on the team stays healthy and well through the season. I'm extremely grateful to have seen y'all as openers w/Thievery Corp in LA & can't wait for the next headlining show.

[Leo @messandthemagic]

oh, every time I venture forth onto this website, summoned by album release or local emergency, I see Posts and Tweets and am compelled back into hermitude

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@dessadarling Got the bandcamp notification, got my headphones, worth the immediate purchase. Burning with questions and untangling references. It's going to be on repeat for a while for sure.

[Leo @messandthemagic]

Probably Pasadena fire-related: Pasadena police helicopter circling since 7:06 PM over the 210 (and in vicinity of all four fires this evening).

[Leo @messandthemagic]

helicopters abound, naturally

[Leo @messandthemagic]

Four fires simultaneously in Pasadena with two being multi-engine fires? Police said the one on Walnut is occuring in a construction site; both Walnut and Locust are police'd off for that block. What gives?

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@PasadenaFD @PasadenaGov Any known connection to the Walnut St and San Pasqual fires?

[Leo @messandthemagic]

@ilyanep @_jack_fox_ I have a corded vacuum that can be handheld/upright! Works great.

The view over the 210 freeway in Pasadena as wildfire smoke reaches across the San Gabriel mountains.
