Kids in a Candy Shop

The Lollards took a field trip together yesterday to the wonderland that is Ellie's house. The pretense was getting Jon's guitar fixed (which seems to have been successful), but the hours spent there were much more about fetish and fulfillment than instrument repair.

Ellie makes art...and music...and guitars. My god does the woman make guitars...and just about anything else that can be thrown together from wood and strings. We never even made it to the shop, getting caught up in the 30-40 instruments that were laying around the living room.

Figuring prominently in the afternoon's wanking was a red guitar, built for Halloween, that does not seem to have made it's way onto her webpage yet, and, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be featured in the only picture that I have of her from Halloween.

Madison, for all its musical limitations, is a wild and wonderful place full of amazing people doing bizarre and increadible things within the confines of their own four walls.
