Popcorn for breakfast!  We’re at the Brattle Theatre to see Peter Beagle’s “Last Unicorn!”
and he’s here to talk about it!  I’ve never seen it – strange to be here with the diehard fans.

11:40pm Phil
Tough Nite. It was fun but at the end I always worry about people I love. Pray for them every night. Can’t do anything more.

11:43pm
Awww
What made it tough?

11:50pm Phil
Had oysters and beers. Had a cigar and scotch, was all good and then I think of my friend snorting that nasty shit up her nose and it kills me and I know she’s doing it and I can do nothing. How do you deal with that? I just don’t know how.

11:50pm
I wish I knew

11:52pm Phil
Me too. How to save people from themselves

11:53pm
Wild night at an event – someone dislocated her shoulder, had to get an ambulance, delay, police, fire, emt’s..then someone else filled in on the spur of the moment to great glory!

12:02am
I’m off to bed.
Hope you can sleep.
Mwah!

Amazing footage of a tornado in IL yesterday. Eep.

“Here is my full video from yesterday including a 10x speed timelapse while approaching the storm from Hwy 251 in Rochelle, Illinois. Unfortunately I farmed it a bit and the DSLR video is pretty grainy, but it still shows the incredible violent motion of the tornado minutes after it touched down.” Donovan Gruner: Storm Chaser and Photographer on Friday, April 10, 2015
