3:54AM - December 22nd
Welcome folks to the insomnia sweepstakes. I'm not ready for winter. But here's a tip on a book for you. get Thomas Sayers Ellis' "The Maverick Room". This first book of Ellis' from Graywolf Press is a winner. He marries a unique narrative tone to an ability to fearlessly break out of the box of the linear. He draws on his childhood in Washington DC, his love of Funk and an imagination so wild, he draws us laughingingly and in wonder into a world purely of his own construction.
get this book.
I'm off to Chicago and Wisconsin tomorrow for the holidays. Talk about a white Christmas (apply all necessary metaphors).
I'm going to try to get some rest these next few days though. The new year doesn't promise to be any less busy than this one was (so again, thank God, i'll eat). In the new year i get to perform at the Whitney in May, so stay tuned for that. I'm going to attempt that sleep thing again now...
