Morning reading at The Crepevine I… 
II… 
Front door call at 09.45 for departure to the California
Institute For Integrative Studies and a talk at the invitation of Dr. Alfonso
Montuori.
16.04 Setting off with
Sister to downtown SF I… 
II… 
… to the Meridian Gallery… 
Sister dropped me off & left to park the Frippmobile… 
… and – perfect timing! – the Minx called just as my foot
was going over the threshold into the gallery to wish me well for the talk.
Yippee!
Sister & Californian Book Pusher Dr. Montuori… 
The gig I…

Alfonso, to about 28 people in the audience, recorded for distribution to CIIS

Then to a most enjoyable lunch nearby at Restaurant Most
Acceptable with Dr. Alfonso & his wife, the exceptional jazz singer Kitty
Margolis.
Afterwards, Sister & I walked to the restaurant, a few
blocks away, to check for the space for this evening: we are speaking to
important people in the NSA who will be having tastinesses & mingling in an informal
atmosphere. The Apple store was only a couple of blocks from there, so I have a
new battery pack for this G4. Calling at Kinko’s on the way home, collecting
dry cleaning & home.
18.10 Off to the gig.
21.33 The gig was a
Fripp & Fripp speaking debut in front of the National Speakers’ Association
Board of Directors & Past Presidents – otherwise known as the NSA
muckety-mucks – at a restaurant mingling & milling downtown. A superb
guitarist had the difficult providing live background music, which he
accomplished very well. It wasn’t the occasion to stand & listen – milling
& mingling were the operational terms & call to action – but I would
like to have been able to listen attentively for longer.
F&F went on c. 20.30 for about 30 minutes. Sister is a
superb prompter & guider & steerer for this novice speaker, to a
generous audience of professional speakers, leaders in their field. Patricia
walks on & owns the space. Respect & admiration.
