The Cafe d'Seville

So once a month a group of friends and acquaintances gather for the Seville Cafe, a performance art night. We gather, share art, munch, and disperse. All are encouraged to exit their respective comfort zones, so if you're an accomplished musician, then you should do something other than music, and so it goes. Last night was nice. I have shared several times before, so I relegated myself to more of a supporting role, and played bass to back my friend Emily's guitar on a song she had written about Brice, her on-again, off-again (currently off) love. It was reasonably well received. I think the reason so many of us love it is that we are all at various stages of life, but whether you're still young and a student, or older and have a mortgage, the soul still needs to be expressed. That's something all of my friends here share and have in common: soul. A soul's most innate need is to connect. With family, friends, lovers, God... something. It's nice to find people to connect with.
