Jamie - our advocate, I forget why now - reported that you said it was "cute," faint praise indeed, but you gave the go-ahead to guest-list us for the next Mississippi Nights gig, where we crashed the green room and drank a Heineken.

There’s a hole in my record collection
Where Meat Puppets II used to be
I said I had to remove myself
But it didn’t go with me.

(True story.)

Jamie – our advocate, I forget why now – reported that you said it was “cute,” faint praise indeed, but you gave the go-ahead to guest-list us for the next Mississippi Nights gig, where we crashed the green room and drank a Heineken.

I wish I could remember wedding anniversaries the way that just came back to me!

Old post cards also tell you a lot about air pollution by the color of the sky in them. I think the joke cards are also interesting. There are no Jackalope post cards from New York City, but from Texas,sure,of course.

Of course the toilet-cam made my lunch a bit less mirthful than I like...of course what do I expect when I click on a link like "notorious CBGB's men's room." Nice colorful postcards!
