Even though it's later than it's ever been, one seemingly cannot have B-Fest without miserable weather.

This Year's Lineup

Very happy with the B-Fest lineup. Aside from traditional Plan 9 and the terrible thing my friend's been threatening for years, I've only seen 2 of these.

Snowboard helmets seem to be the way at our club. Maybe cheaper? Idk.

I don't think it's Jim Skafish himself. He's active on FB and chimes with likes & comments when people post "Sign of the Cross." Seems really cool.

But lawyers' gonna lawyer; those rights have been a mess for decades.

SPLODGENESSABOUNDS - Two Little Boys, "Live" Lyceum, London 1980
SPLODGENESSABOUNDS - Two Little Boys, "Live" Lyceum, London 1980 YouTube video by MrHbsauce, Punk Rock & New Wave videos

YESSS this is a great document.

For whatever reason, the DVD (and this rip) omits Splodgenessabounds' "Two Little Boys." Someone's uploaded it here, and the quality is pretty good:

All I really want out of the Netflix Ticket to Ride movie is a scene set in "Duluth" that is quite obviously shot in Minneapolis-St.Paul

Johnnie Taylorβ€”β€œI Am Somebody (Part 2)” Entered Top 40: November 14, 1970 2 weeks Peaked at: #39 The first overtly political hit on the list deserves some context. β€œI’m Somebody” started out as a 1940s sermon/poem by At…

In the wake of Jesse Jackson's death, here's my Bottom Five piece on "I Am Somebody" by Johnnie Taylor; a #39 hit in 1970. The famous call/response poem didn't start with Jackson -- or Taylor.

(I need to get myself back to writing these)

The Pillars of the Earth Produce, craft, and recruit to build a cathedral in this classic worker placement.

I think I played the boardgame before I was exposed to the book, show, etc.

It's good! Less potboiler-y.

Also, people learn it's expensiveβ€”pretty much have to join a club; can't just gather some pals to curl like it's bowling.

When I got into it in 2002 we had a crazy sweetheart deal. It was like $100 for the remainder of the season PLUS all next. You won't see *that* again.

French biathlete Lou Jeanmonnot makes me wanna go up to her and loudly ask, "Do they have Christmas in France? CHRISSSTMAS! CHRISTMAS!"

And she'd fuckin' shoot me, and I'd deserve it.

I and all my pals got tons of mailers from the University of Puget Sound. "How does Puget Sound?" was a running joke for a while.

As someone whose school choice formula was something like
30% get out of state for at least 4y
50% non-school things to do
20% education or whatever

...I endorse this.

Italy has one of the richest cinematic histories in the world. Rosselini, Fellini, Leone, Guadagnino, even Fulci and Argento...

But then they intro that opening ceremony number with AI slop.
