missing persons

wandering downtown again. just so happens to be the first friday of the month - art walk. all the galleries are open late. artists. receptions. free food and wine. i stop in a few places. nothing worthwhile. don't even want the free food and booze they're offering considering most everything on and off the walls is an eyesore. don't want to stick around too long. i do finally come across something of interest at a downtown coffeehouse - zele's. some 20 yr old guy having a reception. his sketches and paintings on display. nothing very good. but at least it's different than the desert indian shite i've seen everywhere. a few kids are here. all under 21 it seems though. babies. couple djs are playing. one of which i recognize (hard not to recognize someone with a mohawk) as a member of moustache anonymous (the band that opened for tender forever & calvin johnson the other nite). i introduce myself. find out his name is paul. asks me what i thought of tender forever. "she was awesome." talk a little more. then wander out onto the streets again. trying to find anyone or anything of interest.

where are all the kids my age in santa fe? must be hiding out at whole foods or in their adobes.
