i miss Bud Dry

that shit got you drunk.
my greatest memory of Bud Dry is listening to Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock’s “It Takes Two To Make A Thing Go Right”
that song was my generation’s equivalent of Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” or the Black Eyed Pea’s “Let’s Get It Started”.
my least favorite memory of Bud Dry was [...]

push-up contests are a metaphor

one trick to avoid when you’re in prison is the ‘push-up contest.’
sometimes, an older, more-seasoned prisoner will challenge a newer, less-experienced prisoner to a push-up contest.
the winner would be able to demonstrate who is the strongest of the two and enjoy bragging rights.
as a courtesy, the new prisoner gets to go first.
after pumping out all [...]

are rapes common in debtors prison?

i gotta get in shape!
i’ve been working on my ‘mean face’ too.

2008 1995 branson misery

Lollapalooza 1995, Chicago 2008 – day 3

hi folks

i would have to say that this may just be the sleeper highlight of my whole trip!
yesterday i meant to catch does it offend you, yeah? but they were all the way across the park. [...]

lollapalooza time travel, chicago 2008 – day 4, but day 2 as well

so today is day 2 of lollapalooza 1995 but day 4 of my trip to chicago

because i definitely can feel the magic in the air tonight.

way too much time travel!
we actually went back to the early part of the 1990s as we entered the great state of Misery.

but now i’m in chicago at a parisian [...]
