Jazz and Lies

Kamal Musallam and Volker Schlott played a free outdoor show tonight in the Souq.
Show started weak-ish... but by the 4th song.... lovin it.
Christian was running around like he was shooting an Avett show. Across the bridge, on the balcony, along the sides of the crowd (around 40 people), in the bass drum.....
(Photos to come)
Good friends around for CP's last night in Doha.
Tracked the Polaroid Man down and got some "farewell shots"

Left with Carrie from the Souk in the shadiest cab EVER. Already had one passenger in it (who was going to "the bus stop".... do they even have a bus depot in Doha?!?!?!") .... then took us to a back alley, slammed the car in park, turned the meter off and said "Going to get "Union Pass".... Carrie's instinct led her to search for the locks... none.... hahahaha
He jumped back in the car.... laughed a bit..... and took off.
He apologized on several occasions and promised us we'd be at the W in less than 10min.
He didn't lie. At the 8 minute mark he turned and said "Only 8 minutes. You not angry right?"
hahahah
We were back in 1809 and relaxin.
Two of Manuel's employees came by with some bottles.
Sat through one of the biggest "Lie Fests" ever, learned some facts about camels (but most likely not facts AT ALL), saw Christian baptized, ate too many french fries and waited to find out if MS is dead or not.

2:02am and nothing to say.
G.W.S.x
