I’m so going to hell
Dear oh dear…
I finished the Doonesbury article this morning… should be interesting to see how it gets edited, I’m not known for my conventional sentence structure.
I saw some of the people who have come into town for the big… well, how would you describe it? Rock concert? Living fossil museum? Class of ‘76?… this weekend. My initial reaction on seeing this merry little group was AH HA HA HAAAA *snort* BWA HA HAAAAAA but luckily I internalised it. It’s going to be an interesting time in the bars on Saturday and Sunday, especially if you’re a bouncer seeking to enforce any kind of dress code.
This plus the above cartoon means my entire evening has been spent mocking badly-dressed clueless appalling people. My soul needs to be cleansed.
Did you know that if we had, say, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Eric Clapton as well as Alice Cooper, Kiss and Ozzy Osbourne in town, we’d have the exact conditions that sparked Punk?

*shudder* just looking at one panel, coloured, with the script intact is making me have flashbacks to a dozen or so moments last year when I [Please, please stop trying to get me sued -GB]…
Not sure how I’m going to cope with seeing the whole panel, this may be a “gimme a bucket…” moment.
Haven’t been thru town since I came home with my shopping yesterday.. & I think I might just stay in and catch up on some writing, the prospect of horribly attired, drunk old people all through town is enough to make me into a hermit for the weekend.
Please don’t start referencing The Eagles!
Scars on the cerebral cortex enough, already!!!
Next Weekend: Here’s to Future Days, in Bernie’s capable hands, the kids strike back. Lotsa young punk bands, at Bodega. Details in Salient, monday….
Do you have any Ani di Franco in your enormous collection? I’m going into withdrawal, it’s fallen off the playlist at Oblong.

I have too much Ani for a straight boy. I just realised I forgot to draw the stubble on Corey. I’ll fix that for the web version.

Kewl, I’ll have to grab a selection of more lovely music from you sometime.
Stubble. One more reason to … excuse me, where’s my bucket?
Visceral memory re-engagement!
How am I going to [For fuck's sake, not again -GB] turns my stomach?
This may require medicinal quantities of alcohol!

I talked about that with Tristan, and I think it’ll be okay. It sounds like I’ll know a lot of the people in the room, and hopefully Mark Cubey will be there as well.

Kewl, so we can rely on at least one drink being thrown..
Saw Nic Sando in the Library this arvo – he’s prolly bringing in some work to put in Salient soon-ish… and offered to [Nope, not this bit either. Out it goes -GB]…
Such a nice boy, so helpful.
Yeah, I’ve been reading Strangers in Paradise again, getting in touch with my inner Katchoo

I don’t mean to sound angry, but could you please think – just for a second – before you post about certain subjects and people on this blog? Especially if the people in question are notoriously litigious and have already threatened to sue me?

Ok, point taken.
Again, that wasn’t advocating any action on your part, merely expressing the details of a certain final fantasy scenario that keeps me from over-loading my blood-pressure when I think about the events of last year.
So, he can sue me.
Might as well go out with a bang, not a whimper.
You’d be surprised how many people think it might be worf a crack, Nigel
