Le Loup

After an absolutely electric edition of Upstairs at the Square (Nellie McKay + Antonio Monda, webcast live!), host extraordinaire Katherine Lanpher (catch her next filling in for Leonard Lopate on Monday) and I went out for martinis and a bite to eat with her friend, journalist Craig Duff, just back from  "the Great Lakes region of Africa — specifically Bujumbura in Burundi," and then en route soon to Guadalajara and his friend who had just returned from Afghanistan and done a piece for NYTimes.com about the thriving hashish trade there. He also told me about seeing Waiting for Godot in New Orleans this past weekend. Fascinating!
