On September 11th, Katy and I were roommates living in an apt. off the infamous Riverside drive in Austin. My ‘off and on again’ boyfriend was visiting from Florida, and that morning I was getting ready to drive him to the airport so he could leave. His friend called from Florida, and told him what was going on presently, as we were all just waking up. We turned on the t.v., got Katy up, and we 3 sat there infront of the t.v. watching the events unfold for the next few hours, into the day. He later rolled a spliff, Katy stood on the balcony, and I paced about, just wondering and realizing how the world had just changed. Flights were cancelled, and the ex didn’t end up leaving until a long week and a half later.
I always ask people, where were you that day?
