This one time when I was playing tee-ball
29 June 2003 - 03:07 pmThis one time when I was playing tee-ball as a young person, I got my shoe caught under the fence in the outfield. I’m not sure how the ball was hit so far, but for some reason it was, and, whilst trying to fetch it, my shoe slid under the fence and got stuck. Some adults had to come and extract me.
Greatest Mix Tape Ever
28 June 2003 - 09:30 amThe other day I was going through my box of tapes (audio), throwing out ones for which I no longer have any use, as it is increasingly difficult to find an apparatus for playing them. And, do I really need that tape of Document (obverse) / Green (reverse) that I’ll never play again since I have both CDs? Alas the days of analog audio appear to be fading. But I digress.
I did keep those tapes to which I have some sentimental attachment, for instance the Greatest Mix Tape Ever Made (details to follow) as well as numerous WAKE radio shows (both “Shane, Jude, Kevin” shows and the later, but most would say superior, “Five Grain” solo works). But still, I digress.
The true gem, however, was a rare recording of the short-lived, often maligned (but not as much as Dust or Blue Fleece), frequently ridiculed for their name, and generally ill-fated band, Ego Bug. Loyal readers familiar with the local music scene of Orange Park, Florida in late 1991 and early 1992 will know exactly how important this tape is. While it may not be an original recording from the Cavern Club, it may well come close.
The uniform
27 June 2003 - 06:09 pmThe thing I like is that even though it has been about 9,000° in Providence for the last few days, the skater kids in Thayer Street insist on wearing knit hats.
Anything for the uniform.
And one of those in in Chinese
25 June 2003 - 09:13 pmGood news is that I don’t come up until page three of a Google search on my name. Only 7 times in the first 200 results, and one of those is in Chinese.
Out of hand
21 June 2003 - 10:00 amNow this is just getting out of hand. From an article on the exoticness of PBR:
A person who has put a lot of thought into P.B.R. is Alex Wipperfurth, of a San Francisco marketing boutique called Plan B, whose clients have included Napster and Doc Martens.
My restaurant dreams up in a Plan B smoke.
