Oh my! I realized that I completely forgot to post last week’s Slumber Party Mixtape, so you’re getting it right now. The topic was “drugs” and the results were unsurprisingly stellar. I’m making it easy on myself and giving the Pick of the Week to Cuntler with Ministry’s “Just One Fix”.
So on the other music front (live music) a friend of mine was generous enough to treat me to a Dead and Company show at the Hollywood Bowl last night. The seats were incredible – just two rows back from the top of the boxes – and it was a really great show. John Mayer has basically taken the place of Jerry Garcia, and the man can play. It was a really mellow scene – I brought some edibles from the garden and we split a bottle of wine. They played two sets, with “Terrapin Station” as an encore. And I got as good of a street parking space as you could possibly dream of; check it out:
That’s actually not bad at all, for the Bowl.
That looks like a long walk. You deserve a beer.
Oh, just some little place 15 mins. walking from my apt. 40-odd stuff in tap—local and otherwise. Here’s one of their bocks, from a local brewer.
My beloved foot doctor winces at your fashionable dress shoes!
I’m just happy the shoes took the attention off the machete scar. That day, I may have been a beeeeeet hai.
It’s actually INSANE how good of a parking spot it was. You’d pay $20 easily to park anywhere within the same distance.
Yeah, I was skeptical about Mayer at first, but he can play. I am going to hit them up in Boulder next month.

They really DID want to mix it up to be even MOAR anti-Hippo. Only step further? Add Gwen Stefani to the roster (even if Peter Hook says she was a lovely person to work with).
Don’t worry. We won’t force you to listen. It’s not like we’re Zappa fans.
also, my asshole kid is moving to a town outside Boulder in a few weeks (with her mom). Should she ever find trouble, is ok if I tell to her to just ask for Cuntler and that Hippo sent her?? 😀
Just tell her to bring her Kevlar jacket and she will get along fine in Colorado schools (I wish I was joking). What town?
Niwot? I just did manage (99% sure) to get her graduated from high school, she just needs to get her wannabe-hippie ass to a jobbie-job. Apparently the labour market is great, even if you have little to no skills.
And the community college there is supposed to be tremendous, if she ever gets her shit more together.
Plenty of good beer in niwot.
