For Audra’s birthday we headed to the Savana Cafe, with some chocolate ice cream cake at the William’s residence after leaving the very rude service we were given.
I also got to meet Jesse’s dad, Jim. He reminds me very much of his son in terms of their intellect and interests, and I found it quite novel to talk to an older version of Jesse with a soft voice and grey facial hair.
Across the table is Jesse, Caitlyn, Ariel, Ira, and Jairus. Jesse’s dad to my right.
Sea scallops, with smoked pork belly, curried fingerling potato, roasted sunchoke and gala apple salsa, enoki mushroom, and almond essence. The sea scallops were fresh and tender, but everything else tasted so weird I wasn’t even sure if it was supposed to taste like that.
Ariel forgot her fez, so Jesse doubled up.
Jim is also a ukulele player. He pimped out his Mahalo himself, but I didn’t get a chance to play it.
Audra got external midi controllers so she could start composing her own music. You couldn’t get anything more fitting from an indie rapper and an industrial musician.
JEFF!!! I LOOOOOVE THIS!!!! SO MUCH!!!!
Thanks for letting me be involved in the celebration!
Hi Jeff, this is one of Jesse’s sisters, and besides enjoying this post, I find it absolutely thrilling that dad can now be referred to as a “ukulele player”!!
He’s come a long way from totally despising ukuleles.
Well, I didn’t actually get a chance to hear him play, but he certainly seemed comfortable enough with holding one. How could anyone despise a ukulele?
The way you can tall that my father and I are related is that our heads are both freakishly distorted — look at that first image!!
This is where I talk about how the wide-angle distortion gets especially heavy around the edges of the frame on a full-frame camera…
