And finally, it's not an opening without an upskirt.

For Dave

Hey Old Man...I never said I didn't have a lovely tongue or that I didn't enjoy using it. I just don't make a habit of whipping it out every time a camera is nearby.
Unless I'm with Lorelei. Or Ron.

OK, more pics later...

Spam Monster

He's found me. So I've turned word verification back on. Sorry Cletus...

The Horrible Truth About Burma (or That's When I Reach For My Digital Camera)

The horrible truth is that after 25 years of being a fan, yesterday was the first time I actually ever saw Mission of Burma perform live. Granted, they were broken up for 19 of those years, but still. I always felt some sort of tenuous connection with MoB--my first real boyfriend was best friends with Clint Conley (bass player/singer--center stage above) so I actually hung out with Clint several times back in Boston in 1983. Usually at one punk club or another. Nice guy. Nice smile. I was flattered that he treated me with respect and kindness. Not the typical punk rock bullpoop one usually experiences (especially from bass players <--um...just a little self-defecating humor, seeing as I myself am a bass player type 8^D).

Anyhoo, I'm glad I got to finally see them perform. Definitely worth the 23-year wait plus the price of admission, which was free for me--thanks Lorelei & Darren!!

Tongues for Everyone

No doubt about it...the girl loves her tongue.

Golden Meanie

Actually, he was very nice.

NoFX...

...just a slow shutter speed and too much Ritalin.

Got Wood?

Jasper sez I look like one of the characters in a video golf game he has.
(p.s. the title of this post was his idea. the kid's learning fast.)

Danny Senior

Man, I can't believe no one picked him out. Isn't 'Danny Senior' like the most uber-All-American-type name you can imagine? Isn't this kid like the most uber-All-American-circa-1972 kid you've ever seen??? Wouldn't you naturally put those two clues together?? And I thought guessing him was a no-brainer...

Oh well. Hey, thanks to everyone who played. It was fun.
Maybe I should post pics of my most recent crush and see if you can pick HIM out...

Mirror in the Bathroom

Pee Wee's HairHouse

C'mon in...and pull yerself up a chair
Let the fun begin...it's time to...um...brush yer hair...

Crush

He was my very first crush. And with a name like Danny Senior, I'm sure it won't be too difficult to figure out which one he is. Go on...give it a shot.

I'll show y'all which one he is tomorrow.
(p.s. In case you didn't know this, you can click on ANY of the pics to make them MUCH bigger.)

Now...let the guessing begin.

An admonition for clean living? Hardly.
Just a shopping list written for my brother by his then-4-year-old son, Dylan.

Not Right in the Head

A fondness for the letter 'G' is a sure sign of insanity.

(p.s. Cool letterhead font. Especially for a nuthouse.)

Boom

Contrary to appearances, I really DON'T like it when things blow up.

43 Harrison

It's getting there...
And I was wrong about the opening.
It's next SATURDAY...but that's still all I know.
Barbara? Any info you can add??

FLASH!! NOW the opening is set for August 5. This time it's official.

Off to the Gallery...

And I'm remembering to bring the camera today--perhaps I'll have pics of the progress for y'all tonight. Update: the opening is either next Thursday or Friday (I'll find out today) and the gallery is at 43 Harrison Street. I ought to have all the final details soon...

now...off to sweat and get full of paint...and whatever else...

Environmentally Friendly

Johnny Dekalb always writes the most hilarious postcards whether he means to or not. This one is from 1998 and was in a pile o' stuff I was looking through tonight.

I need a slide scanner. Pronto. And a better camera.
Or you people are gonna be reading my old mail a lot more often.
