The Things We Thought We Could Never Forget.
Sack of potatos!
Cosima gets her tiny ear protectors on for the Ian Svenonious slide show at Family.
Blondes, having more fun.
It was pretty great, the slideshow. Four volunteers read from a script while Ian worked the slide projector and did some narration. It was like a live movie! Is it coming to your town? Go! Also, I was stoked because Calvin Johnson bought both a Sads record and a Soiled Mattress record. I saw Calvin play with Beat Happening in like 1989 in LA. There were over 500 people there, as that was the nature of 'punk' shows in LA at the time. I think that other than Myself, my brother and 20 or 30 older people, everyone really, really hated them. They stood there and played thier entire set calmly taking heavy, heavy abuse. I saw these two brothers, they were mexican nazi skinheads (seriously!), firing glass ashtrays at the band, eventually hitting Calvin and splitting his head open.
Beat Happening! I was impressed!
Another excellent night at Family.
Followed by another gorgeous slice of pizza. Viva Pizza!
