Stevus becomes Rowan
On the way out of Ann Arbor, I stopped in Plymouth and Ypsilanti to see Pete and Dave, and Pete's new child. In the womb, he was referred to as "Stevus", since the name was not determined. Once emerged, he became Rowan.
I Met Dave and went out to eat at La Shik restaurant. We got the vegetarian sampler, which was actually an enormous tray of food. Checked out the recording studio in Dave's house, nice place with beautiful land and little brook. Went over to Pete's and met the new Rowan, the older Reilly, and Jade. Pete talks like Scotto, and Jade is a brunette Kia. I say that knowing that all 4 involved would be angry to be told of their dopplegangers, but it is complements for all. We saw the kids, had some picnic food (and leftovers from the lunch). Saw the smoke from the aviation museum fire. It was an incredible purple plume, we tried to chase it but it just retreated further on the horizon as we got closer, so eventually we had to give up and go back to the picnic.
Went out to some bar which closed at 11. First time in years that I have been around for last call. Met Katie, a friend of Dave's, up from Florida. She was charming and it was fun to meet her. I did some terrible shot with some apple liquor, since Pete insisted.
Next morning had a ridiculously huge brunch at the Northside Cafe. Good Times = some man was holding up his arm to block the severe morning sun. We all spontaneously and simultaneously waved at him, causing him a bit of a confused moment as a car full of strangers greeted him unexpectedly.
At Dave's house we listened to his roommates do some recording in the studio and watched Aguirre. It was Dave's first time and we seemed to agree on some of the best scenes' signifigance.
On the way out, in Ohio, I stopped at Wafflehouse (better left as a memory), took photos of Neil Armstrong's jet plane and the horrible replicas of capsules. Came very close to running out of gas in Cincinatti.
