@Granny - I sent you some videos on Instagram to brighten your day :-)

GG: yay! looking forward to checking that out. (i took a bit of a screen break yesterday)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16pm

@Granny - I honestly don't blame you. I've been limiting my screen time as well <3

Martinibomb:

I haven't read much of Brautigan's work need to remedy that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MB - they're sort of counterculture science fiction if that makes sense? rather in the same vein as Stranger In A Strange Land, I think. Emotion-wise.

Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

@DJGG: My sweetie and i recently learned about the marvels of the Market Diner. We were wondering if you have some experience with that place?!?!?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:20pm
StringOFperils:

@mBomb...Nor I. Not sure why I seemed to avoid Richard Brautigan in the 70s...I think (maybe) it seemed to me to be connected to something 'hippieish', for lack of a better term. And I was going all Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream and Yes at the time...moving away form the perceived California thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:20pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@MB - very much so! :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:21pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Granny - I do, but like most people in Brighton, late at night and very drunk ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:21pm
StringOFperils:

Still don't know what Brautigan was really all about.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:22pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Hello StringOFperils! :-)
  3:22pm
Martinibomb:

@perils I think maybe that's why I avoided him when I was younger. I think I've learned enough about 60s counter culture now to appreciate it more
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:22pm
StringOFperils:

And I was still catching up with Wordsworth and Shelley and that lot.....Brautigan was too far ahead perhaps, for me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:23pm
StringOFperils:

Hello DJGG. Sorry, I just chat-bomb all the time, and rarely say Hi , formally.

Hello Domenic! :-)

DJ GeorgyGirl:

@StringOFperils - so glad you enjoyed them both! The 10cc one was so much fun to do :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

DJGG: it sounds like that's the only way to go to The Market Diner.
In Watermelon Sugar is one of my favorite Brautigan books ever.
StringOFperils: Brautigan is a strange and marvelous blend of schizophrenia and alcoholism converging with the 60s counterculture (he weren't no hippie, though). When he hits it, he is dazzling.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
StringOFperils:

Well, GST, I'd better go back and take a closer look. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:28pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

The Market Diner is a veritable institution in Brighton :-)
A greasy spoon/hamburger joint that stays open all night so perfect for clubbers and ravers ;-)
Avatar 3:29pm
Domenic:

So! Funny story. Since I'm not working and home. Exposing my daughter to all sorts of Sheena's. GG's distinctive voice and show comes on and she says " OH! the hippy lady again"! Apparently the "Cosmic Thoughts" segment left an impression!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:30pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Domenic - that's wonderful!!! I am very proud to be "the hippie lady" :-D Tell her I said hi and send hugs <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Rich in Washington:

Granny, if you ever make it to Vancouver again you should really check out the Brautigan Library. It's in a section of the county history museum. The gentleman who curates it was one of his friends and ended up being his literary custodian, of sorts.

Martinibomb:

^ I did't knw that very cool

Done! hugs and all

@Rich - I like that the curator has a direct connection. A loving memorial :-)

Cmurtha:

Did John Williams just rip that flute, or am I just imagining the similarity.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
StringOFperils:

@cmurtha..They both have the generic in a deep embrace.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:33pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Hi Cmurtha! I imagine he knew a load of the library artists so it's a distinct possibility ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

My daughter can't listen to Modernists. She says I'm doing "Mum reading a bedtime story voice" and it makes her too sleepy! ;-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:34pm
Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em):

Rich in Washington: wait, what. Fricking Vancouver has a Brautigan library?!?!? Well, since i can't seem to avoid the Lower COlumbia region, i am sure to stray that way whenever i'm set loose again. Yeah! Thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:36pm
Rich in Washington:

He's a pal - a professor at nearby Washington State University. He was practically Richard's chauffeur when he was in college. He has some pretty cool stories about him.

@Matty - so glad it's helping :-) <3
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Rich in Washington:

He ended up having all of his papers, etc, so donated it to the library with the proviso that they recreate Richard's idea of a library, to which anyone can submit a manuscript or book of their own.

DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Rich - that sounds like such a lovely place :-)

One of the flat's opposite has a colour-changing light in the window, and as I looked up at it, it was morphing from this glorious teal blue into a bright fuchsia pink. Beautiful :-)
