It was probably too much to ask to try to hit the ground running when I got to New Orleans, I guess my body decided I need a break. I'm on my way to being better but I was pretty sick for a while there, the weird thing is that the whole time my fever would come and go unpredictably, one minute 98.6, wake up two hours later from a nap 102.3!
Around Tuesday I decided I just had to start pretending I was better because laying around waiting didn't seem to be doing anything. I think the walk to go get a snowball, trampoline badminton and nighttime swimming the last few days really did more than all those days of trying to sleep.

Made It To New Orleans
Sunday, August 8, 2010
Checklist
I have a one way ticket to New Orleans on Wednesday night. I've been super busy getting everything done, I shipped my bike to San Francisco last week, I went to the beach (twice!), I moved out of my apartment into a temporary Andrea-shaped vacancy at my friends Pam and Naomi's house, but there's still so much to do -- bind books, ship books, read (library) books. It's hard trying to fit everything in but it's nice knowing that by Wednesday night it won't matter what I got done or not.
My camera seems to be broken. On the first trip to the beach it started displaying "lens error" which I've read a little about and seems to be the dying gasp of many a digital camera. Right now it's resting on the floor of my room and maybe it will decide to start working again but in the meantime I got a disposable camera which I have been taking a picture a day with and I am pretty excited about.
My friends Darcy and Becca were here at the end of July, along with Darcy's brother Eddie and his girlfriend Laurel from Philadelphia for the weekend. Then my friend Nathan was here at the beginning of August.
Here's a picture Nathan took of Me and Chuck in the store, click on it to see Nathan's other pictures from NY, Philly, France, Armenia...
Once I get to New Orleans I've got plans to finish a children's book I've been working on for a while, record a cover of Bob Dylan's album New Morning and record another album inspired by New Morning.

And The Possible Gets Larger
My new record is out! As you can probably see above it's called And The Possible Gets Larger which is a quote from an unreleased Everything In Pen song. Download it/listen to it/remix it/make fun of it:
http://patrickweaver.bandcamp.com/
I made a few cd's but not that many, if you think you want one maybe there is already one with your name written on it!
I made this record very quickly and I don't think that I like it as much as Jonathan Richman but it was nice to be able to make something quickly and I think that it is at least pretty fun.
It has 12 songs:
1. Thunder and Lightning
2. Don't Walk That Line
3. This Show Costs Five Dollars
4. Forever
5. In Alaska
6. From Out Behind The Clouds
7. Firecracker
8. Takin Off
9. My Heart Still Beats
10. Same Make, Same Model
11. When I Walk Among The Giants
12. A Chance Like This (Just Once In A While)
