discrete halloween preamble to the recap
today and tomorrow i’ll be packing up / cleaning up to move literally three blocks away, moving in with little lando, clammy cluckmaster, belly barfson, amba lance and all those other rats (not literal rats) at Distinct Hastle. i’m psyched to move and to have control over my space (in re: painting the floors, nailing things where i want them to be nailed, etc.) but moving is ssuch a pain when you have such an extensive and varied library as i do. anyway when i go a while without writing i forget things, so i want to make a brief nod in the direction of my recent memory for a half second–
the party was fun although promised pictures are still forthcoming and will remain that way for a time. in the meantime i’ll entertain guesses based on these buzzwords: triumphant, suave, monstruous, mystical/mythical, still alive, and with flowy appendages. the party was lousy with college students, which is fine but gets depressing (to me alone, for my own reasons) as the night winds out. mixtape triumphant although it sure cleared the floor at first (“gravy” by dee dee sharp is apparently not as much a call to arms to others as to me, which is a shame especially considering the lyrical content). i left while my memories were still beautiful, but to be plain, the night did not stand still or turn inside out, or make everything glass, or suddenly be a magical glade, or offer any noteworthy respite from the day, although i did experience the effect of seeing someone’s face melt off, quite casually and some hours after i left.
maybe soon, maybe never:
• new directions in mixtapes
• trying hard to not be a bummer
• how anything can happen but usually doesn’t and how to address this issue
• review of recent archie acquisitions
mild chance the show friday might be totally totally new, and technically a “flash flood” show, will keep the readers informed.

belly barfson! that’s rich!
(will “that’s rich!” come back to usurp “LOL” for internet commenters?, that’s my plan.)
