Spiral Cafe
Jun. 19th, 2006 09:17 amKiva at the cafe: the place was pretty full and it was a nice evening except for four people at the very back of the cafe who would NOT stop talking at the tops of their voices about their cycling and hiking trips up-island; as Kiva played they would just yell louder. And they kept it up for over two hours. I felt like causing a scene but there's no percentage in that.
I talked to Kiva for a moment about Tyva Kyzy, an all-women throat singing group from Tuva who toured around the Northwest in early 2006. She knew about them and had met them in Finland (for some reason Finland is a magnet for throat-singers, and I don't know why), told me she had written a song about them that was performed there with three other throat-singers and an enthusiastic dog!
In other happenings, I mowed the lawn before the next crop of dandelions went to seed, planted some parsley and radishes where the spinach didn't come up, and stuck in some trellises for the peas. Many of my papaver somniferum, though small, have now bloomed and they are all dark purple, though there has been one pure white one. The red ones bloom later.
