friday 13th in the wilds/ saturday night in brooklyn/ sunday afternoon in dalston

 an entirely written in the morning blogpost

saturday night in brooklyn an event for the john and alice coltrane home featuring roshni somlal (of the brooklyn raga massive). 

meawhile in dalston sunday afternoon there's the cafe OTO christmas fair (horsemouth hates christmas but he recommends you go anyway). triple negative will be there (or at least there will be a chance to purchase their music and their merch (including drawings)). 

horsemouth hopes you enjoyed the golden glow mix from yesterday (well 3 years ago yesterday).  the next one is due on the 18th and the final one for the christmas season on the 24th.

  

but meanwhile (again) it is friday 13th (again) and horsemouth is in the wilds.  he has no plans for the day. he is back from bell-ringing. slow progress is being made (and then beer was drunk). 

it is 1851 and thoreau is out in the wilds (famously). he has been working as a surveyor and this provides some release and distraction. 

'this varied employment, to which my necessities compel me, serves instead of foreign travel and the lapse of time. if it makes me forget some things which I ought to remember, it no doubt enables me to forget many things which it is well to forget. by stepping aside from my chosen path so often, I see myself better and am enabled to criticise myself. of this nature is the only true lapse of time. it seems an age since I took walks and wrote in my journal...' - thoreau, december 13th 1851.
