How much do I wish that I had been hanging out with Tim Blair and James Lileks? Staying up until 4:30 am, dissecting the newspaper??
Lileks' description of their entrance into Nye's, a local bar:
Swung through downtown for a brief Glory of My Town tour, parked the car, and got to the bar just as a laughing young woman emerged from the bar, laughing, and, laughing, threw up on the sidewalk. Omigod! Whatever.
And this sentence alone fills me with longing and envy:
The conversation took on an unstoppable momentum, and the only reason we knocked off at 4:30 AM was because it would soon be 5:30 AM.
Beautiful.
People are good, are they not?
Posted by sheilaI want to try to hang out with Lileks when I go to Minneapolis next month; I don't think "Jasperwood" is very far from my parents' house...
