The Puppini Sisters
The Professor of Magic and I headed on down to Bimbo’s 365 to catch The Puppini Sisters last night. The show was a fantastic mix of covers from Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” to The Bangle’s “Walk Like an Egyptian” all performed in Andrew Sisters-style close harmony. A flash mob of 1940’s gangsters, old-timey cars, WWII soldiers and Lindy hoppers erupted on the scene to shoot the curl and drink the Jittersauce. Who knew that the kids are still cutting the rug down at the old Barrelhouses in this day and age.
Happy Apple in SF on November 7th
Happy Apple is the best band in the entire universe regardless of what this one has to say about it. I’ve tried and tried to get Jon Gifford to like them, but his preconceived ideas about what music should be was irrevocably discombobulated during a rugby match in ‘86. So, in conclusion, if you know any live people that haven’t been turned into robots by the corporatocracy yet, you should have them attend the big Happy Apple show with you in San Francisco on November 7th. They will totally blow your mind.
Naked Conversation
(I don’t remember how this started)
| Jon Gifford: | How do you hod your saw-der-ing iron? |
| Hoyhoy: | Don’t you mean hold? |
| Jon Gifford: | Name one other word besides solder in the English language where you don’t pronounce the L! |
| Professor of Magic: | It wouldn’t be hard to find such a word should you choose to do so. |
| Hoyhoy: | When I say llama I never pronounce the second L. |
| Jon Gifford: | GG. |
