went to rendezvous last night with babbs and sharon for a few hours of sharing and writing or whatnot. it was a nice experimental process. i guess the only thing that would of made this trip better was to have more time with people on an individual or smaller group basis. rolling crazy deep is fun but it also makes real conversation difficult. i wish i had time to just bum with people and to talk. about everything. but i guess that can't be fit into a weekend. even a long thursday to tuesday weekend. i think i'm semi-ready to do china for six weeks. now that i know i've had one big blowout experience. being in michigan always feels like forever. in a very good way.
