Robert Fripp's Diary

Friday 20 August 1999

And afterwards we went to

10.05 And afterwards we went to Loco Lupe with Martha, swelling with the about-to-be-becoming new Belewbeloid, & Ken Latchney for a Mexican delight. For me an occasional treat - the Monster Margarita. I'm never sure how much tequila they put into it - on some visits very little - but I love the sharp taste & the sheer American bulk of it.

Now, one hour of checking equipment programmes & listening through some tasty string changes, it's time to say hello to my world: telephony awaits.

16.32 Four hours of hands-on. It's surprising how exhausting writing rehearsals are, although 32 years of experience suggests this should be utterly unsurprising. Buts it's always the same: the blank canvas in front, waiting for the subject to fall upon it - naked or draped, figurative or abstract, reflective or driving, & other better metaphors which escape my addled wits.

I have no idea how Crimson will be able to record its studio album this fall.
