This is the town and these are the people, this is the town where the people all stay

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor? Well I don’t think I can take anymore.
In preparation for my weekend silliness, I’ve spent all day pouring through vintage print ads online. Along the way, I discovered this: I gotta say, I’m with bashful Benjamin J. Grimm on this one. Continue reading Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor? Well I don’t think I can take anymore.

I finished what I did and I went upstairs in my dressing gown
DONE! D-U-N, done! Tonight we finished a major, major project that needed to be complete before we get on an airplane on Wednesday. We’ve still got a lot to do between now and then, but the biggest chore is complete. Continue reading I finished what I did and I went upstairs in my dressing gown
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day
Just one more update about Radley. First thing this morning, we took him to the vet. The plan was to get the sutures removed, but, suspiciously, they were already largely gone. Apparently we didn’t watch him as closely as we thought during those spans that he had his cone off. Regardless, they said his incision had healed nicely. We when we asked about what further precautions we needed to take with him in terms of exercise, playing, activity, they answered “He can go back to being a dog.” It’s nice to have him back at full strength.

One for Friday: The Vents, “One Way Ticket”
I worked in commercial radio in the mid-nineties. I was employed by a mini-conglomerate in Madison, Wisconsin, so I wound up pitching in at a couple of different stations, but the bulk of my time was spent at a place that, just a couple of years earlier, I would have guessed would be a dream station. It was an alternative rock station, which eventually, tellingly started to tout itself as a “new rock alternative” station. When my cohorts and I were logging endless unpaid hours at the college radio station, commercial alternative stations were like distant beacons in the fog … Continue reading One for Friday: The Vents, “One Way Ticket”

The sun is up looks like a perfect day to put our soldiers on a cake parade
One week from tonight we get on an airplane pointed north, making our annual trek to The City of Wonderful Water for one of the biggest, oddest college radio fundraisers you could ever imagine. We’ve been swamped with preparation for the event (which is part of the reason I’ve been relying of shorter posts in this space of late). I’ve previously noted the documentary that was made about this contest and my team’s surprisingly prominent place in it. Turns out this documentary will be showing on Wisconsin Public Television fairly soon, and, as part of that airing, one of the … Continue reading The sun is up looks like a perfect day to put our soldiers on a cake parade
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
Since I dutifully posted the trailer that inspired gales of online love a couple weeks ago, I should probably post the very funny parody that has followed in short order. Due credit: I found this because someone else found it first. (Posted simultaneously to “Drilling Holes in the Wall.”) Continue reading When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
