This morning the birds were out in full force, little hummingbirds with shiny red heads, tiny brown birds (you can tell I spend a lot of time studying the Audubon guide), tweeting and searching for a place to make their nests for Spring, right outside my bedroom window. The sun was shining, the air was cool, it was a perfect, Disney-esque way to awake on a Saturday after a busy week. And it WAS busy!

Wednesay night I went to the Legit Radio party down at the Tractor Room. I was among the first to show up (I usually am), and was apprehensive as I approached to see all of the streetlights, and every building in a several-block radius, completely out. Still, I found a parking spot and entered the Tractor Room, which was still open! They were awesome to keep their doors open and serve the huge crowd cocktails by candlelight. It was hours before the power came back on. In fact, I left before the power came back on. David and I kidnapped Robin Roth and took her to Starlite, where we could sit and chat over a burger.
