Rich! Look Out!

Dont worry, no humans were harmed in the making of these pictures. The next time u r in Sausalito, u HAVE to eat at Fish. They r walkin' it AND talkin' it. For dessert: a scoop of organic vanilla ice cream made in san rafael, with a shot of organic espresso poured on top, served in a big bright blue coffe cup. Needless2say it was perfect and delicious. The sun was out, the sky was blue, it was beautiful and so were we. And so r u(i hope).

fog/no fog

Hello party people, r u enjoying your summer? Here in Sam Fram, there IS no summer, so it's always a little disturbing to hear the first of the back-to-school ads for pencil cases and warm jackets and stuff. What's that? Kids dont use pencil cases anymore? So sue me.

Angel fans may be glad to know that WHITE COURTESY PHONE will be available at cd baby soon; til then u can hear Threw It Away at my myspace.

kinda crappy birthday

Hello. Just got back from having lunch with cyzuki and bff rich at bambino's on cole street, and now we know why the place is always empty when other restaurants on the street r jam-packed. A&R felt bad, since the lunch was spozed2b special 2 honor cyzuki's birfday. Dang it all innyway. But it was still nice2b2gether, which reminds me of bff rich's lyrics, "HELL WOULD BE OK TOGETHER, PRETTY HOT AWW FUCK THE WEATHER" which cyzuki and yours truly sang in bff rich's band Poetraphonics in the 80s.

b4 & after

Hi. Hello. It's me. The way the light was 2day reminded me that summer is zipping past. Hate when that happens.

And speaking of zipping past, saw a kid go by wearing those rolling sneakers or whatever u call them, while he was drinking a soft drink out of a glass bottle. I got nervous. BFF Rich suggested not thinking about it. Those things do look like fun tho.

I'd like 2 do all the "speed raps"(as jim fourrat told me they're called). "...when out comes a farmer he musta thought that i was nuts, he immediately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts." I like all the ones that have about a million words per line. Because what else am i gonna do with my original I WOULDNT WANNA BE BOB DYLAN but put it on a dylan-covers cd? Anyhoodle...

Hi ppls. It's me again. Thanks to the ACC fan who requested that songs from WHITE COURTESY PHONE be put up at ACC's myspace. U asked 4 it, u got it, girl...so go get it. THREW IT AWAY has been added, with more to come.

Ol' ACC remembers when Hal Blaine, who played drums on WCP, cried as he red the lyrics to the song. I still have the sheet music with his drum markings on it;it's one of my most prized possessions. Have u ever seen the notations drummers make on sheet music? It's pretty cool, like a secret code or something. Hi Hal I love u.

No tour or shows or anything...2busy crocheting bath-mats. Now is that squirrely OR WHAT?

If u r 2hot right now, consider a trip 2 Sam Fram, where temps are in the 50s and 60s.

And speaking of hot, i just red that Toni Collette has a band, Finish. If i wasnt so lazy i would youtube her but i just cant b bothered. Saw her naked in a movie, THE JAPANESE STORY. This just in: BFF Rich just announced that Toni just announced that she is pregnant. Maybe the babydaddy is the guy from the movie? Wow, he was VERY hot.

Go 4th and party u kids, but dont 4get 2 assign a designated driver.

The first few years that ACC plus 1 lived in sf, the 4th of july at ocean beach was like a war zone. It was nuts, hundreds of drunk peoples running all over the beach and boardwalk, shooting off fireworks, the wind blowing alot of the fireworks into traffic on the great highway. It was so smoky that U could barely see, and the audio was really incredible... people screaming, the sound of the waves, the loud bangs, dogs barking. It was totally unsafe and crazy. And the olfactory-factor was wild too...salty sea-smell combined with gunpowder. Then, one year it was all over, just like that. Cops on motorbikes and in cruisers and on foot shut the whole thing down.

Note to Howard Thompson: remember u were visiting us then? :-)
