"so two toddlers walk into a park..."

...here's something cadence likes to do. she'll rapidly blurt out a long narrative of gibberish with a totally straight face like she's telling a story that makes perfect sense.

...then after a pause for dramatic effect, with perfect comedic timing, she busts out laughing 'AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!' as if she's laughing at her own punch line. she'll repeat this several times, like she's doing a stand up comedy routine. it's really hilarious. we need to get it on video one of these days.

well, i'm happy to report that cadence didn't get sick on sunday after all. i don't know what that fever was about. i think she may have had a tummy bug or something because she had about the worst blowout diaper ever on monday. that would explain why she wouldn't eat on sunday.

ted's show w/ tim lowly and gang went well on sunday, i hear. i got to eat dinner w/ ted and matt ganong, the keyboardist/pianist, before the show. we like matt. he's really nice. he and ted talked a lot about beers and homebrewing, ted's favorite topic.

the group that played after tim was called ash in pensacola. it turns out that their singer, mindi, is ethan's girlfriend. that would be ethan d'ercole, guitarist for watchers (ted's former band) and the mannequin men. he's also a great dj. i have fond memories of hanging out with ted late saturday nights at the get me high lounge on the bucktown/wicker park border listening to ethan spin. it's hard to believe we used to stick around past last call. good god. i can't even imagine being out that late any more. anyhoo, ted and ethan always loved making music together, and i hope they resume contact...
