not the best way to start the trip. especially in a country that judges you on what you wear. so i guess i'm going to my first set of interviews in my airplane clothes: jeans and sneakers...

on the plane over i wrote a new essay about my relationship with jazz guitarist pat martino. it'll be published here in a paper called il giornale. i'll post a link once i have it.

milan is gorg. but you knew that already.

lots of photos but no way to post them since the camera downloading doohickey is in my suitcase, which, for all i know, is in siberia (alitalia does fly there, you know).
