the 80's (re)done right

Like the 70's revival before it, 80's newstalgia rarely does anything for me. Here's an exception:

Broken Social Scene, 7/4 Shoreline. When I snuck into the basement to watch MTV in 1986, it was like this.

cheer the fuck up

Cropped from one of these. I like it better this way. Inspirational.

I've contacted halo for help reconstructing this past Sunday (we seriously compensated for Saturday's sloth, and I can't remember the order of events), but she's too busy laughing at some poor boat-missing bastard and anticipating a hot date to write me back.

I'll step out to run errands shortly. There's Goop adhesive and miscellaneous materials to purchase for two separate tasks: pull-up bar fine-tuning and budget photography backdrop construction.

Tonight: Provocateur, at Bent, in The Middle East Downstairs, $10. Hopefully I'll make it out, and so will you.

Argh, I still need replace the rear inner tube (?) on my bike, after the freak bicycle pump accident. Who the hell designed those little tiny vacuum nib parts that blast off and fly across the room like that? Wouldn't be so bad, if I didn't have to take the entire drum brake and hub assembly off the frame. No quick-release here.

This fountain is in Chicago. I liked it.
