In sadder news, this will probably only connect with Hec, but Alpo (of the Real Kids) died.
Ahhh, shit. One of my great memories of living in Boston was having my hometown roommates put on "Reggae Reggae" as we bounced off the walls. (Note to Non-Real Kids Fans: It's not a reggae song, but a rock and roll rave up.)
And the top superhero weakness is...
Hey!
Jon B. in silver pleather = kryptonite
holy crap!
I just found out the Wrens are playing at the Northwestern student union (which is like two feet away from where I am sitting right now) tomorrow!! [link]
I'm getting me some tickets over lunch. I'm going to see the Wrens tomorrow!

Oh, that reminds me. Jon, did you know that Converse sneakers now come in metallic silver?

Ohhh! Although a little too dear...
I came really close to buying an almost new pair of silver Docs at a thrift store in Tempe recently, but they were a little bit small.

I was psyched when I found a pair that was all black (laces, rubber around the edge, etc.).
I was trying to buy a pair of all-black Chucks last weekend, but they didn't have them in my size. And then I found that they had all-black Vans now too.

I should have gotten two and stashed one away. The place I got them was going out of business and everything was half off.
I've still got a regular pair of black Chucks from college. Not in too bad shape, but they were never shoes that I lived in like some people I know.
Btw, did you ever read the comic book The Badger by Mike Baron in the 80s?
YES!!!! I freakin' LOVED Badger. Gotta love a superhero who talks to himself, calls everybody Larry, and names himself after one of the meanest mammals on the planet.
Silver kryptonite.
YES!!!!
(Don't mind me, I just all asscaps and exclamation points this morning. I blame Tennessee Williams.)
