Dimestore Scenario

I really hope this doesn't become one of those "I'll be there in five minutes" type things..but I will eventually finish The End of May EP. Alex and Christian finished their parts in 2007 and I got a little sidetracked. But it wasn't just being slightly busier (all 3 of us have kids (not all together)), it was and is that I cannot conjure up that other version of myself who lived for those late wine-stained nights and hallucinatory mornings and sense of feverish excitement and fury and carnival out of control feelings that being in the band gave me. 

I will finish -- and it's really only one part on one song -- and it's also that Joe Nagaj died, and that one song was the first song we ever played together in dimestore so when I say, "are you anywhere, are you ever coming back?"

That's the part I can't figure out how to say.

(Btw, Christian who played drums on The End of May moved to Boston at the end of June that year and we have only rarely heard from him since. He did find a house with an ocean view. Joe from Bayonne is getting married. Lauren works near my house and I ran into her once at Whole Foods. Dorothy is part of a start-up. Ivan has his own company fixing macs. Jonathan I haven't heard from. Denise is pregnant and has a baby. Joe Howard I think moved to Seattle. Than is in Black Gold. Mike Presta?? Not to suggest that these updates reflect the sum total of these one-time dimestore members' current lives.)
