My grandfather loved to garden and taught my mom how to care for plants. His and her favorite thing to care for were roses.
Today is my mother's birthday and I am so far from home, but I found myself in an appropriate place. There is a giant park here called "Washington Park." It has different beautiful areas to explore, and one of them is a huge rose garden. I walked around and wrote down different names of the various kinds of roses. Here are some of their names:
My Choice
Nearly Wild
Signature
First Light
Distant Drums
Pristine
Day Dream
It smelled so good there. There was a rainbow of rose colors.
Also today we went to a place called "Voodoo Donuts." They have a rainbow of donut flavors. They have a grape donut, and you better believe what it tastes like. We got a bucket of day old donuts for five dollars, but the bucket is so big. We cannot make a dent in it. Tonight we are going to a potluck and guess what our contribution is.

Ah, I love Portland.
I am one of Roxane's old Texas friends. We've met before, but briefly. I am living in Rochester, NY, looking forward to going to your show, but there doesn't seem to be a venue, do you know more, or is it up in the air.
If it helps, the best venue for your music is probably a place called Boulder Coffee Co., but it looks double-booked on Aug 11th(?):

Then there is the BugJar:

There was the A/V Space, but they cannot host live music anymore.
If you don't play a date in Rochester, I'll come down to Ithaca to see you guys.
