September 2011 Top Ten

1.  Yeah!  Labor Day weekend is here!  It's my favorite U.S. holiday.  Overworked + underpaid --  that's each and every one of us, innit?  I suppose I prefer to commemorate like anyone else -- by gathering with friends, drink union-made beer, and eat awesome food.  Also, Link Wray is the best music to listen to on Labuh Day.


Press 'play', listen while you read.  Keep up!






2.  Wild Flag is releasing their new album this month!  Stream here.  Pre-order here.  It's unstoppable!





3.  A quick jaunt to Dallax with ATM, KMHD & Everett is going to happen.  It will have been amazing.  We're going to see The Horrors!


4.  Here's a temporary I'm trying on for size.  I quite like it.  I think I'm getting a tiny one closer to the wrist.  (ATM, anybody, hand me a comb!)





5.  Speaking of tattoos, they say that imitation is a form of flattery -OR!- I've got the trendiest tattoo this side of the Mississippi.  KMHD & Brittany have teamed up to sell some temporary tattoos of our beloved state.  I've already ordered some for Saturday's game.  They're great to customize or decorate for whatever occasion!  2/$1  Contact FLEETING INK to order.  I'll be giving away a few on Saturday if you see me.

6.  The gift of time.  I'll have a little extra this month.  I really hope that I don't squander it, although doing nothing has it's merits, too.


7.  Okra poboys.   It's not on the menu @ Oyster Bar, but they will make it if you ask for it.  Heavens.


8.  New camera.   I needed to get one before our vacation and, well, I just needed one.  I am your friend that takes pictures of everything.  After Victor died, I remember thinking that I didn't have enough photos of our time together.  It won't happen again.


9.  TOFU HAPPENING.  I am the current curator of this event of yore.  It's not quite the same, but still maintains the basic tenets of eating well (maybe not healthy, but you do get stuffed) and communion.  This is the third one since it's been rebooted and it has grown a little every time.  People are awesome!  Am looking to start other projects, too.  Maybe an art night?  Where we paint and sip wine out of mugs?  An event where we publish a zine in one evening?  I am open to ideas.


10.  Revisiting Nouvelle Vague
