Had a good interview with Tony, the manager at Dive Bar on Short Vine. Dive bar is a simple, beautiful bar, thriving on relationships with regulars. He invited me to pick up a shift tomorrow night in order to experience bar-tending. It’s ladies night and there is a show at Bogart’s as well. Should be interesting.

“The creation of this publication feels the way we imagine raising a child would feel. It is a separate being that is dependent on us. We recognize it as a long term committment. When it is neglected, we feel an immense sense of guilt. When it poses questions, we feed it answers. Sometimes, we go out and show it off: friends ask how it is doing, and we give them a proud report of how it is shaping up. And all this care is with the hope that someday, we will be able to send it out into the world and watch it function on its own.”
