Field note · 04 · The getawayA courthouse has no décor, so bring one thing that's yours. A car, a dog, the good jacket. You are the décor.

No venue, so the car was the venue.

Which one is yours?

One went all day, one was done by lunch. Tell me the date, the place, and roughly which kind of day you're having. I'll tell you if I'm free, usually within the day.
