Saturday, March 25, 2006 All Good Things... It's my last night in Ann Arbor, both my college town and the city I've lived in for the last seven years. In many ways, I'm glad to be leaving; it's time for a change, and Chicago is a wonderful city (not to mention the fact that I practically live there already). But this place has been a good home--I've grown a lot here, and I'll miss walking through the Diag on warm days with students sprawled on every available patch of green, the little forest inside a city known as the Arb, and conversations on philosophy while sipping lattes at Cafe Felix. I'll be back--if nothing else, I'll be touring here--and I won't wax too sentimental because honestly, I think I'd go crazy if I had to live here another year. But Ann Arbor is great, and I'll miss it. Tonight's show was more fun than I expected it would be--Aleks, a fellow lindy hopper and musician, was in town to interview prospective interns for his architecture firm, and he came out to Wyandotte with me. We jammed together on the one piano for a while before the show and it went so well that I asked him to play the last song of the night with me, my version of "Summertime" and "Wayfaring Stranger." And then we went dancing, where I got my goodbye jam circle, one blues song (Over the Rhine's "Lifelong Fling"--mmmm, it's one of my favorite songs to blues to, even though they're a folky band) and one lindy tune. And now for logistics: I'll be spending the rest of the night packing so I can drive to Chicago tomorrow morning. ^ Top | 1:04 AM | | |
