london

It's my last night in London. Tomorrow Jacob and I leave for Paris. David is in the kitchen right now making a salad and the sky is preparing for sunset over London. I have a lovely view of it from his ninth floor apartment. Not much time to type right now, but to be brief:

-getting muddy at Lovebox, drinking vodka all day long, Beth Ditto being amazing, Kelis also being amazing, and Robyn really being insanely amazing. There was light drizzle during her performance, I was a couple people away from the stage, bodies pressed against each other, everyone wanted to be close, singing along, dancing. During "Indestructible," I looked around to see all the people there singing along to the lyrics, so sad and thinking of their loved ones or past ones or future ones, every person mouthing along so full of meaning: "I let the bad ones in and the good ones go, but I'm going to love you like I've never been hurt before. I'm going to love you like I'm indestructible." It was so beautiful and really made me emotional.

-drinking beers at the George and the Dragon, running into New York people.

-dancing like a maniac to cheesy pop songs at G-A-Y

-parks, beers on the street, art in museums, museums as art, beautiful buildings, life.

David has said, "Dinner is ready, boys."
