The Oakland Diaries, 2002-04 http://troutfactory.wordpress.com/ BY TRANE DEVORE http://jefftjohnson.wordpress.com/ t’s a funny thing to feel close over the phone. We both agree that Molly Ringwald’s homemade dress is a pretty atrocious affair. My face and glasses are covered with a streak of pesto. There are chunks of pesto on the ceiling. Pesto is splattered all over both walls, Ithe floor, and the refrigerator. The three of us have ice cream and tea and talk until I have to either BART or turn into a pumpkin. She’s doing artwork again, at least, and shows me some of the amazing embroideries she did once (one for S. with two fishes). Bios After we’re stuffed, J. and M. take off for the evening, and the rest of us walk over to May Hong to get a couple of drinks at the bar. Dinner is in full swing and there’s no one working the bar, but we sit down anyway. The girl who is the waitress there gives us drinks but says, “I don’t know Trane Devore grew up in the San how to mix anything, so you’ll have to tell me how if you want a special drink.” Francisco Bay Area, where he lived I buy a beige jacket to replace the beige jacket that I had to replace. I go for a run and talk to J. on the phone, and then I cruise by the farmer’s for most of his adult life before moving market and pick up Utah Giant cherries, all plush and velvet flavor inside.
