Since I didn't want to stay at home alone, I wanted to go to the concert for
Russ Lorensen & His Friends at Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. It was
supposed to be a great show. When I called the club, a lady who received me
told me that Mr. Lorensen got stuck in Europe due to bad weather, but, the
lady said, it would still be very good because everyone else would be there.
Yeah, but I wanted to listen to him singing and that's what the concert was
about. While this was going on in my head, of course when it came out of my
mouth it came out very nicely.
So, I decided to find something else for the next day. I searched and found
a show based on David Sedaris's holiday stories at Eureka Theatre in San
Francisco. I read some of David Sedaris's books and liked them, he came up
funny stories with wit. He also contributed to this American Life series. I
heard that he came to SF a few months ago and read some of his stories. I
decided to go for this show.
I went early the next day. The show would start at 5 o'clock and I was there
at 3:30 already. With much time I wandered around the neighborhood. There
is a square called Sydney & Walton. After a few days' of rain, grasses are
unusually green. At one corner of the square, I discovered these large
Amanita muscuria. The cap is bright orange to red. The large one has a cap
with eight inches in diameter. They are beautiful. In American culture,
Aminta muscuria is classified as poisonous. But in Russia, Japan and some
other cultures, people eat them after boiling. It is also consumed in
certain religious rituals to generate hallucination. They appear more often
as decoration in pictures around Christmas. Two passing homeless people
yelled at me, hi, big mushrooms, eat them! I did not touch these mushrooms,
let them be here and give people a surprise at the center of the city.
I went to the theater. It was still early and there were some people waiting
for the theater to open already. The girl at the box office chatted with me
to kill the time. This act has been in this theater for ten years now. I
was surprised the book had been written for that long. The show started on
time. It is about how crazy the Christmas is in America. I read the
Santaland story before, it is in 'Holidays on Ice'. The acting was good, but
it wasn't as great as I expected. However, people sitting there are all
happy, and I was quickly affected by the atmosphere. The show was for 65
minutes, I, as everyone else, laughed through the show. Sometimes, it is
really not about perfection, it is just abut enthusiasm.
