My Own Private (Boise) Idaho: Part II
Missed part one? Catch up HERE.
Next installment and adventure: DRANKS (+ a snack)!
My Gemini rising makes it impossible to refrain from a good bop — if I start at one place, eventually the party girl will be ready for the next vibe. More = more until I’m ready to go home.
That’s the other part of me: I’ll famously “Cinderella out” when I’m tired, leaving only a dust cloud, a shoe, and an appreciative “thank you” text (from the comfort of my couch).
This wasn’t the day — the good times started rolling and they did not stop.

Down the barrel #7: It’s giving old saloon realness
Making the cocktail, “Memories of a Prom King”: Rye Whiskey, Cinnamon Simple Syrup, Lemon, Egg White
Call it “research”
We did. At least we did at The Reef, a tiki-themed bar in the heart of downtown.
In the play PRIMARY TRUST (by Eboni Booth), the lead character, “Kenneth” and his best friend, “Bert” spend a lot of time drinking Mai-tais in their favorite bar, “Wally’s”. We went to see what the fuss is about.
Kenneth and Bert discuss the rum-based drink, “Mai-tais”

A quiet night in
The timing got away from me a little bit, but this sucker was TASTY. Also the char on that garlic? de-LICIOUS.
Meanwhile back at the theater…

My Own Private (Boise) Idaho: Part I
I never saw the movie MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, but teammate/lover/button just did. My current reality has nothing to do with this indie cult classic, and yet —
Pictured from left to right: Ben Cain, Malcolm Barrett, Cloie Wyatt Taylor, Susan Dalian (director), David Anthony Smith. Read full article HERE.
Ironically, I used to have an unrequited love thang with one of the featured folks in it — a different situationship for a different time (and a different Cloie). No shade, all tea. I wish them well from the boat they missed.
Anyhoo.
Stomping through the streets and eats of downtown Boise, my mind flashes back to this title — my own private experience in this, a home away from home. The reason: I’m working on PRIMARY TRUST — a beautiful play written by Eboni Booth, directed by Susan Dalian, produced by the wonderful peeps at Boise Contemporary Theater. ➡️ ➡️ ➡️
I love to chew + I love adventure + have a curious mind, so I take to pavement—
Here’s what I’ve discovered along the way:

This sculpture, tho…..
Maybe it’s me…
