back (from L.A.)

I'm back from LA and i'm relaxed. i feel so good, so good infact. i think the trip had an accumulating effect, whereas now i'm feel back to my self. i love life again. it was so fun, the alice in wonderland party.

it was so fun getting ready with juliette and Tony, writing "Eat me" and "Try me" on the muffins. watching alice in wonderland while going through Juliette's box of lipsticks, at least fifty, i was in heaven. she let me pick out any I wanted. turns out "whatever" and enigme and Truly were my matches. jotting down on the liners of the white rabbit.
Fact #1. I AM the white rabbit: this spazzy, panicked, fretting character.

My favorite lines:
"oh me, oh my. Oh dear."
"No use. Can't wait. I'm awfully late."
"Don't just do something, stand there!"
so I went dashing about the party. I'd get all nervous and scurry away.
Tony (Mad Hatter) kept telling us it was Teatime.
Alice did Not chase me.
The Queen of hearts (Juliette) was dangerous.
It was fun dancing with Andrew (Amber's boyfriend), we were slowdancing (the pals we are) while freestyling--i kept going and going like the word-bunny I am with this wickedly rhyming waterfall of words.

MEET the Tony:
He's the one to bring for commentary. He kept making what would-be another boring aaron into some coated spongey experience. I nodded in the car, mulling all his collected back-alley know-abouts and anecdotes.
But this guy--one minute he's somewhat dettached and observant in the background, the next minute he's the craziest intent guy singing on the mike,at the Par-T he was the mad hatter and by the way dressed to the T. He was totally into it. There he is singing on the mike every word to I am the walrus, and aerosmith, and hogging the mic, he just took over the floor all of a sudden and you can't stop him. I'm looking at him like "who is this guy?"

we were all up so late, and as withered as we were, we still just stayed in there. there was always one person on the dancefloor, however little motions they made or energy they had, but they were there, maybe pointing at someone else, maybe just talking to themselves, we were funny like that, we all sort of took turns.
i got a foot rub.

we all piled on the couch in our folded ways.
i met michel (pronounced Meechel) from Mexico, who was very special. We danced very in sync with each other. just enough space between us, stepping straight forward, forward, forward, back, back, back, and the just right amount of turning. to vogue was the best. and juliette kept trying to get us to notice each other. "he'd be perfect for you!" and the more she told me, the more i was "maybe" and he was very sweet. i noticed him right when he walked in the apartment, i thought he was italian. he was striking. And so she kept talking to him, her friend of 8 years, "I really like Molly" she reported to me his notice.. .. . . ... ...... ...... .... The next day I was smiling Tony told me 3 hours to go till we were to meet Michel at the Good LUck Club, then Amber would come, and Michel did call the next day, and yes. the Good luck club was this lounge, I fell for right away, I loved this lounge, the people all chatting way, the sound filling the room, low celings and lanterns hanging about, the overall hue of red and a lowwave orange. the jukebox with the odd assortment, forties albums, the police, the beatles whitealbum, country, willie nelson, johnny cash, Jimmy Cliff, Jackson 5, Nina Simone, and so on. well we had a pleasant time.
the whole weekend was so smooth, i kept being handed off from friend to friend taking turns kickin it with me.
Amber and I had a very good day today, which is monday. we went to the urth cafe and had the most satisfying omelet i've ever met. Tricky was right there at the CAfe, Tricky the DJ and producer, collaborated with portishead and known for all his own haunting and hypnotic downtempo. i used to play him on my radioshow, RPM ignited. 'Do i say hello Amber?" i decided to feel it out, walking by him on the way to the car. so i just reached out, and swooped my hand by him (without touching him) in this swinging kind of wave. "Hey man! i used to play your music all the time on my radio show in santa cruz!" and nods with this big smile "hey! alright. where is santa cruz?" in his british accent and in this cool "yep oh yeah!" kind of accepting way. and there we all were, i'm nodding, he's nodding, he's cool, I'm cool, it's like we were all making each other's days.
Then Amber says "Tricky, I've got to tell you that there's been many a time I've made love to your music." and he was like "ohyeah" and he says "you have?! alright, well, I hope that maybe someday my music can help to make a baby!" and she's laughing and we're all soaking it in, stoked on this new information. he introduces us to two guys with him, all cool and DJ looking, puma hats on, sunglasses. They're nodding too and they looked really stoked about our approach. like we were these two bomb california girls coming up all cool to congratulate and give thanks. we were fabulous! Man, it was so weird, though i was coming up to a celebrity, we really all made each other cool. I shook his hand and said "hey. I'm Molly, or DJ Gem" and he said "DJ Gem? Alright!" Wow, I feel like my DJ name was just sanctified. i mean Tricky took my hand while speaking my name. he confirmed it! he restamped it.
and it was so cool, i went up to him like i had every right to, like of course i'm gonna say whassup to tricky. it was so down.

2 more cool things
the first sign i was meant to be there was when juliette (sicker than me) pulled out some cough syrup that her accupuncturist had given her. I told her "my accupuncturist gave ME cough syrup too, I couldn't bring it on the plane b/c it is glass" struck by that similarity. And then she pulled out the exact same cough syrup. both our accupuncturists had given us. so we started the weekend on that same foot, both sick, giving each other coughsyrup.

Fact 2: I have turned into a small-town girl. I was dumbfounded by the distances, Tony and I were walking, walking to get to the Grove. the block went on forever, with nothing on it, much. and we went to west hollywood KMart, it was so big, everywhere we went i was blown and verbal about it.
