The Zappos OUTLET STORE.
I saw that when I was out there this summer but didn't have time to go. Mecca!

Havana Before Castro
Too much city talk - I read this as Havana Before Cairo, and was hurting my puzzler trying to understand the connection.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The big apartment store is definitely gone.
Yeah, I was there when they imploded that. I like that library. I usually went there instead of the University library. I need to go back now that I have a decent camera and document the old 'hood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
LOL Art Show, A Benefit For Partners in Reading
I Can Has Cheezburger? along with curator Marianne Goldin are organizing a LOL Art Show which takes place this Thursday, October 23rd at Varnish Fine Art in San Francisco. The art show and silent auction is a benefit for Partners in Reading which helps with adult literacy. Advance tickets for the LOL Art Show are now on sale.
This show is comprised of artists from around the world: professionals, students, and lovers of art. There are painters, draughtspeople, comic artists, sculptors, glass artists, media artists, musicians and conceptual artists. All these individuals responded to an open call for a very new kind of art show. Their work creates a visual vocabulary required for the concept of LOLcat art to exist.

This is one of the reasons why it's fun to run in the Nike Womens Marathon in SF. Kat and I walked the half-marathon a couple years ago. Hee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was there when they imploded that
Actually at the demolition? I meant to go, but ended up not.
Q. How can you give a one-star rating to a movie you didn't sit through?
A. The rating only applies to the first eight minutes. After that, you're on your own.

I have a hard time thinking of Casablanca (and Alexandria) as real places.
We were talking about names and origins in a graduate class, and I said my great-grandparents were from the kingdom of Bohemia. A woman gave a little gasp and said, "That's a real place? I thought Arthur Conan Doyle made it up."

In random news, you know what was an exciting part of my trip? The Zappos OUTLET STORE.
Jesse, did you like the outlet? K and I went and were underwhelmed -- so much of it was truly an outlet -- things that were a major buyer's mistake. I did get a cute pair of children's sandals that fit me perfectly.
