Suprise Morning

So I go to the Mon Cafe, my Cheers-like local spot, this morning wearing pajamas and slippers which is usually body language for "I wasn't planning on staying today." I just wanted to grab coffee then go make music.  But I did stay after talking to some of the old-schoolers, and then I found out they were tallying votes for an art contest at 10:00 so I thought I'd stick around a bit more. I was asked to stand and read off the votes.  So here I am, still 1/16th alseep, in pajamas, merrily reading off votes to someone tallying on a chalkboard.  It was crowded and everyone was jovial as hell.  The winner ended up being someone who worked there and had his friends all vote, but the winners-up were very talented.  They even had a child art category.  The mood was that of a fancy dinner, where everyone is drinking wine and dressed up, with lots of applause. Good times had. Suprise morning.
