Thirty years ago today
On Friday I went downtown to pick up my Ontario College of Art and Board of Education paycheques. After depositing most of them and taking out some cash I went for a beer on the patio of the 360 Club. I chatted and made friends with Cynthia my waiter. Paul Forsythe, who had verbally attacked me on Wednesday night for my disrespectful criticism of folk musicians, was passing by and came to sit down and tell me that he agreed with me after all. We were there until evening and went to the back to hear the bands. When Cynthia was off work she joined us. Paul Forsythe and Gary 13 were buying me beers. Cynthia and I made a bet about the gender of a guitarist and I won. Cynthia, Gary and I went to The Greek’s and then to a booze can in Kensington Market. At one point I tried to kiss Cynthia but she backed away, even though she’d been so physically up close with me all night. We sang and played music until 4:00 or so on Saturday.
