Last night Travalon and I went to the Arboretum. This spring
things are running behind schedule, and the lilacs and crabapples that usually
bloom for Mother’s Day are covered with buds, but the magnolias are still in
bloom, so it was lovely anyway. We hiked out on the wetlands boardwalk and
enjoyed the sights and sounds of nature. Then we went to the Fountain, which we
had never been to on a Monday night. They were hosting an open mic night, and
we were amused by the interesting characters who came for it. Travalon spotted
Charles Manson’s lookalike by the bar and Sinead O’Connor’s wandering around,
as well as the twin of the bassist for Yes. A man who didn’t look like anyone
famous but was noticeable for being covered with tattoos asked me if we were planning
to leave when Travalon went to get some cash, and when I said no, he said, “Just
making conversation.” I asked if he wanted our table, and he said of course he
was going to take it as soon as we left. However, he wandered off before we
actually did leave, so someone else got our table. The music was all over the
place too, from folk to metal to some guy singing along to a tape. Too bad it’s
on Monday nights – it would be fascinating to watch more of the Fountain Open
Mic Night!
