Tayari's Blog: Long Live The Hound

I am blogging on the road. I've chased The Brand New Heavies to NYC for thier Brooklyn show. How did I get here? Being a little too divalicious for the Chinatown bus, I opted to spend a few extra bucks for a seat on Greyhound. All I can say is "Viva La Hound!"

There were so many folks on the bus, many doing thier own things. At one point, the driver (from his bullet-proof pod) threatened to kick some people off if they didn't stop smoking. "I hope you have a partner or you will be walking alone from here to New York. It won't be nobody with you, just you and your Newports." I just watched the scenery, listening to the conversations around me.. and.. then.. I felt my writing brain click on! The click was so loud, I thought other folks could hear it.

My original plan upon arriving in NYC was to take a disco nap to be fresh for the concert. But instead, will be sitting at the tiny tiny desk, doing my REAL thing.
