December 29, 2005 - Returning from a Trip to MilwaukeeTucson

I have returned from some kind of trip. The place is filled with Tucson people, but for some reason the environment feels more like Milwaukee. The house and neighborhood near 49th and Clarke are somehow evoked. It’s also rainy. There is a big party and I show up dressed inappropriately. Wearing some kind of short skirt or something? It’s like I’m wearing my pajamas, and I have my blanket with me. I know I should be embarassed, but nobody really seems to care, so I’m not.

Carrie is there, her hair kind of long, and she seems to be slightly indifferent to my presence. The party is huge, in that house maybe, but there is also a bare that takes up the center of one of the big rooms. I finally get to talk to Carrie and she starts telling me about her work schedule. (Is the location of the party the Congress Hotel?) She mentions that Andy works in the Cup on Friday and Saturday nights. I’m really shocked and upset, telling her – “What? I’ve been trying to get a job there for two and a half years.” She just kind of shrugs her shoulders.
