attending (as I generally do) Elise’s cavalcade of newish acts. But there’s big-deal stuff goin’ on tonight and I don’t feel like a big deal here.

My old friend Freddy Asparagus used to say you gotta make anyplace you are the place to be. But I haven’t mastered that skill (which, at least partially, is simply feeling that’s the case).

I feel left out; marginalized. Not the big fish/small pond-type, I’d rather be negligible but still at ”the thing”.

On the bright side, there are leftover Christmas crackers from an earlier party and I am wearing a paper crown.
