Art Sled Rally 2013 was sort of a sad slippery mess. The hills were so icy I was amazed no one in our group wiped out while just walking around. Still, it was a good time and there were some swell sleds. Our favorites were Lady Rainicorn, a Mario Kart and the yellow submarine. The latter had the most spectacular crash with the sled splintering apart upon impact with a bale of hay (but the sledder was ok, he gave the thumbs up sign and everything). Naturally we got some fresh snow the day after the event. Gee thanks Mother Nature.
Five good things for this Monday:
- This is ridiculously awesome. And what it feels like when I do end up watching commercials targeted to my demographic. Birth Control on the bottom yogurt, with awkward Weird Al cameo. Also funny? Jason Good, in general. In particular his “Realistic Loglines for Kids’ Television Shows“
- Peter Hook’s memoir, Unknown Pleasures, comes out on January 29th. The NY Times published an essay from the book - We Were Joy Division.
- Le Blog de Jean-Paul Sartre - brilliant.
- Fans of Adventure Time may also love the Nimona web comic by Noelle Stevenson.
- Los Crudos reunion tour! I may have to head down to Chicago for this. Speaking of Chicago, there was a crazy warehouse fire there last week that made everything look like it was straight from the ice planet Hoth.
So I guess it’s ok to eat quinoa. Blurgh, news media. Maybe I need to brush up on my critical thinking skills. After reading pieces in well-regarded publications I don’t know which way is up and which way is down. Speaking of, I’ve got a big backlog of photos to edit. Photos coming out of my ears! Figuratively. But when I’m done I will have more photos from another Outlet performance, the cat show brunch, the cat show itself and more.
