(May 31, 2012) NEW YORK CITY — I’m now officially homeless.
For the first time in my life (at least since very early childhood), I no longer have a house key. The last two keys in my possession are to my storage unit and my PO box. I guess I’d better actually do this tour, because this is my house now:
Today was a day of running last-minute errands. I had a bunch of CDs to send to contest winners in four different countries and twice that many US states. I also sent a batch of poetry books to Shepherdstown, West Virginia, for my first reading on the tour, which takes place June 6 (details here). I needed to get a few last-minute travel items, too, including this glorious Hello Kitty laptop sleeve:
I also made my last stop at what has become my daily destination in Brooklyn’s Windsor Terrace neighborhood, the amazing Terrace Bagels. And I stopped at the Station Cafe in Brooklyn and met the owner, Steve. There’s a photo of Steve on the wall behind the counter that reads: “Steve and the customers are always right!”
The final piece of business to attend to before leaving tomorrow is to make today’s show, featuring vocalist (and my friend) Nicky Schrire. You’ll find it soon at The Jazz Session site.
Tomorrow morning I’m heading out of town. In true Jason Crane fashion, I’m still not sure if I’ll head to Philly or Wilmington (DE). But I’ll be sleeping in Wilmington, in any case.
