The club was the Fillmore, in San Francisco, and it had power. Great show.

I've never been, but my assumption about NZ is that the best stuff is not in the cities.

Gotta start somewhere. But as a city, it's all downhill from Sydney, mate.

My daughter spent 1/2 of 11th grade as an exchange student in Dunedin. She loved it, but like Adder said the cities are a little slow.

You going to the South Island?

So I get an email

From someone in my office asking for copies of exhibits I used in a deposition in 2008.

I said to look somewhere in here.

"Many a time, at the end of a working day, Janine would talk to me about Flaubert's view of the world, in her office where there were such quantities of lecture notes, letters and other documents lying around that it was like standing amidst a flood of paper. On the desk which was both the origin and the focal point of this amazing profusion of paper, a virtual paper landscape had come into being the course of time, with mountains and valleys. Like a glacier when it reaches the sea, it had broken off at the edges and established new deposits all around on the floor, which in turn were advancing imperceptibly towards the centre of the room. Years ago, Janine had been obliged by the ever-increasing masses of paper on her desk to bring further tables into use, and these tables, where similar processes of accretion had subsequently taken place, represented later epochs, so to speak, in the evolution of Janine's paper universe. The carpet, too, had long since vanished beneath several inches of paper; indeed, the paper had begun climbing from the floor, on which, year after year, , it had settled, and was now up the walls as high as the top of the door frame, page upon page of memoranda and notes pinned up in multiple layers, all of them by just one corner. Wherever it was possible, there were piles of papers on the books on her shelves as well. It once occurred to me that at dusk, when all of this paper seemed to gather into itself the pallor of the fading light, it was like the snow in the fields, long ago, beneath the ink-black sky."

W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn 8-9 (New Directions 2016).
