Luxury Crash Pad downtown Chicago with Jazz Singer

Hi, everyone.

News from the jazz world? Well I shouldn't redirect focus from bashing Boris but I'll be nice and change the subject from his pink thongs back to jazz and cyclothymic lawyers who make my boozy ballads all the more meaningful.

Saw the lawyer last night. He is utterly insane. My biggest regret was that I did not record him on my phone and post it on youtube. My second biggest regret was sleeping with him. Twice. Only to be dehumanized on an all new level of depravity.

Meanwhile, a gorgeous guy/neighbor in the building told me "Hey, if that is mean to you, come up to my place for some wine". So I did. I fell asleep on the couch. He was holding me when I woke up. A gentleman. No kissing, touching or gross passes (ahem-- take note, pilots!)... And he is coming to my gig tonight. He will not tell me his age. he said he is between 38 and 64. LOL. I am thinking he is 43. His chest and arms look like something out of Muscle Magazine. Shaved head, great smile. Owns a bar, used to be in orthopedic implants business. Interesting, friendly guy. How utterly strange would it be to start dating a neighbor? As if this is the strangest thing posted on this thread. I digress.

I'm not dressed for work yet. Not showered. Depressed. No tears. No ability to cry or freak out. Just a hallow shell like a gutted cantaloupe. Psycho lawyer actually said to me last night, when he made me cry that I look "sexiest when [I'm] sad". Well, fortunately fir him, he sees me like that regularly-- there's the secret. He is mean to me because it turns him on. So. Anyone in Chicago tonight? Or the burbs, rather? Drive to Evanston and check me out-- I should be sexy as hell-- seeing how I'm just about catatonic from heartache and demeaning treatment.

Anyway.

I got a call for a new club opening nearby. Work is pouring in. This is my favorite season, generally speaking. I love the weather and I love the work load of the fall.
I'm at Pete Millers Steakhouse and jazz room in Evanston tonight 6-10pm.

No guns please. No pink phones. And no narcissistic, evil attorneys. Wait, that was a redundant statement. Sorry.

I think I will open the gig with this song:
"Unusual Way"
In a very unusual way, one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way, you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour,
but somehow it will never end.
In a very unusual way, I know I'm in love with you.
In a very unusual way, I want to cry.
Something inside me goes weak.
Something inside me surrenders.
And you're the reason why.
You're the reason why.
You don't know what you do to me, you don't have a clue.
You can't tell what's like to be me, looking at you.
It scares me so, that I can hardly speak.
In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you.
Though at times it appears I won't stay, I never go.
You're special to me in my life, since the first day that I met you...
How could I ever forget you, once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way...
You made me whole.


This song has various meanings to me right now. It's from a musical (Nine), but I have a complicated arrangement of it in a Brazilian-jazz-style (known as Chorro). Very pretty. Very sad.

Beauty is often illuminated not by joy but by depth-- which comes from knowing pain.
 
You have a great voice. Sounds like you work with some great musicians too. Been to Pete Miller's many times. I used to sit in all the time for the Friday night jam at Green Mill as well. Barry Winnograd still doing that? But for the love of god....enough about your ex and/or future boyfriends.

Does this not sound exactly like the beginning of a Japanese porno? Anyone?
 
I have to agree this is an entertaining thread.

Meanwhile on "As JC Turns"....

Here are the questions that need to be answered.

Will Waco actually travel to Chicago?
Will FlapperGirl ever find a room mate?
How will the neighbor dude turn out?
What is it with lawyers anyway?
Will FlapperGirl come to Vegas for the JC get together on October 8th?

I will hire a jazz trio to play if she does...

Boris as I post I want to continually remind you that we want the truth on your love of pink. I also want to point out that it appears that the man so many went after for creating a place women would not want to be a part of has just created a place that a woman spills her life out on. atta boy Waco
 
This..

Plus this person sounds like nobody I would ever want to hang out with.

:yeahthat:

She has no interest in sleeping with someone that pays $1,700/month for half of her apartment and is not there half the time. But she'll sleep with an old psycho lawyer she has no interest in and doesn't like, twice. Boohoohoo.


Off the subject, I can't believe an apartment costs $3,400/month. That is absolutely ridiculous. I don't care if it's next door to the White House. But then again, I live in Oklahoma where housing necessarily isn't ridiculous expensive.

For $2,590/month you can have this 8,149 square foot house with 9 beds and 5 baths in a nice neighborhood with a beautiful golf course as your backyard and an indoor pool....

Good luck with singing jazz in these parts though.

she could sing some country swing!
 
In downtown Chicago, that's not an out-of-line price for a nice place. It's expensive to live down there. That rent may or [more likely] may not include a parking space. That can easily run you several more hundred dollars a month, just for a parking spot!

Where did you infer I have "no interest" in the man I was living with and wanted to marry?
The fact that he is mentally ill has been my own poison to drink--
love is the greatest strength and worst weakness in it's most genuine form.

Unconditional love is exactly that. When you are abused the question becomes: how do I survive it and hpw can I stop it?

As for Oklahoma?: you couldn't pay me $3400 a WEEK to live there.
And frankly, the price I offer for this condo is a deal. Other condos of it's stature are renting for $5k and up.
And the building's ammenities are phenomenal. Luxury.
And no... It doesn't include parking.

Bye cowboy.
