I’m finding myself being a messenger and also a sleuth. There are so many aspects and details of Todges’ life that I feel compelled to have answered. I know this isn’t a quest like in the movies where I will come to a huge realization in the end, but I still need to know more information.

Today I’ve been given the name of the contact person in Todges’ Blade obit; I’ll call him tomorrow and navigate through that difficult conversation.

Tonight I met up with mcG before the Sandra Bernhard show, and had to tell him about Todges. mcG was there the evening that I met Todges, and had he not been late I might not have met T. So again I’m sharing the information, of what little I feel I know.

This conversation takes up most of our time before the show, but I’m glad we got it out of the way so we could enjoy our evening. Which we did. Sandra’s show was a little off, in timing and content. It’s a redux of her 20-year-old Without You I’m Nothing, and due to current events it was obvious when she was lapsing into the script of the old show. So it was a little disjointed. Enjoyable, though. And funny as hell too (natch).

Afterwards we walked over to the 9:30 Club for Blowoff. I think this was the first of the season after their summer hiatus/roadshows. Am I wrong? It was packed and a lot of fun, great music by Rich and Bob, and Nick turnt it out with the visuals. Trippy. It was nice to be taken to a better place for a little while.
