For lunch today, my partner and I went to Shake Shack for the very first time. I really, really liked it, though she was less keen on it than I was. I wish we had one nearby and didn't have to drive all the way into downtown Raleigh or out to Chapel Hill to go to there. Whatever.

“Stuart’s temporary ‘promotion’* was not accompanied by an improvement in his living conditions. He was still obliged to return every night - or rather, in the small hours of every morning - to his dank room behind the Bambi-Kino. He’d been roughing it to some extent in Liverpool, but this was something else: sordid surroundings, punishing hours, a mercurial boss, no mother popping in with food and clean laundry... On September 22nd he wrote wistfully to Susan Williams:
To remind of you my existence, a few words from the blue. I’m blue at the moment, fed up with rocking and remembering rocking on a ferry with you one summer’s day about 18 months ago...
Hamburg has little quality, except the kind you would find on analysis of a test-tube of sewer water. It’s nothing but a vast amoral jungle... I called to find you flown. Without any message, I didn’t no [sic] what to do, and didn’t. Anyway, if you would like to write, a few lines would be welcome.
I expect to be home about Christmas, and then I don’t know, I’ll wait and see. I’ll be coming back to college for ATD in 1961 definately [sic]... I suppose a lot of people consider me a fool, but this is a personal escape which I felt was necessary to free me from a lot of uneasyness [sic].”
(Stuart: The Life & Art of Stuart Sutcliffe)
* The Beatles had played for the Indra for a month when Bruno Koschmider detached Stuart from the rest of the group and sent him to play with the bigger and more popular band at the Kaiserkeller, his major venue.
“The Beatles did their nut because Stu was playing with us,” Howie Casey.
