May's CD mix of the month

May's CD mix of the month  
It was a historic occasion last night. I was the only person who brought a contribution to the May CD Mix of the Month Club. (It was a charming collection of animal songs called The Bestiary.) I was also very nearly the only person who showed up at all! But after an hour of solitary Johnnie Walker Black Label and Guinness (not in the same glass), my self-proclaimed stalker Ali showed up, and we were later joined by her friend who's in town driving the tour bus for Earth, Wind & Fire. It was a good time, and I didn't go home empty-handed because Ali brought a copy of her mix from last month that I hadn't gotten.

But one has to wonder if CDMOM is beginning to die. That would be sad, but understandable since we've been going almost three years already. Next month will be my last meeting, though, in any event, and with luck a big crowd will show up to bid Laura and me farewell. I already have my mix ready, and it's called From Gotham to the Windy City. But no preview yet of the track listing!

(The story so far.)

I think scheduling it a few days before a long weekend was probably not the best way to ensure a big turnout. *)

Wish it had been tonight! Or better yet, that I had decided to skip the poetry reading I went to and just asked my friend to read me some of his poems at his leisure.

And a fine disc it is too, I say from experience. (Thanks again, MixMaster Bill.)

Johnnie Walker Black Label and Guinness

Like sex, they're better shared with at least one other person in the room, but it's not a requirement.

who's in town driving the tour bus for Earth, Wind & Fire.

Not there's someone with stories to tell....

We had a great time just last month, even though dinner was the main event. I think May's just a tough month.

I'm sure we'll have everyone but Josh next month. And hell, even he might show up - you never know with that kid.

And don't be lonely! If I hadn't been recovering from the lifedrain that was a lockin and a sermon within 48 hours of each other, I would have been there for sure.

No worries! I hope you're recovered, and I'll look forward to seeing you next month!

I hope you're right! I hear a rumor, though, that CDMOM might change soon to a quarterly concern...
