Meadowpark Manor

I don't think this is what Emma Goldman had in mind, but I like it.

I think the best thing in this storm of awesomeness is the feathered roach clip he's got hanging from his hair.

Delavan, WI - 1986 - GwenDeanne

He is a queer bundle of contradictions at all times. Drunk and foul-mouthed, ready to cut the throat of a defenceless stranger at the toss of a cent, fresh from beating his decent mother black and blue to get money for rum, he will resent as an intolerable insult the imputation that he is “no gentleman.” Fighting his battles with the coward’s weapons, the brass-knuckles and the deadly sand-bag, or with brick-bats from the housetops, he is still in all seriousness a lover of fair play, and as likely as not, when his gang has downed a policeman in a battle that has cost a dozen broken heads, to be found next saving a drowning child or woman at the peril of his own life. It depends on the angle at which he is seen, whether he is a cowardly ruffian, or a possible hero with different training and under different social conditions.

The Pabst Explains It

What the fuck is that he's got? It seems to have breasts? I think my sister has those curtains.

Beer Thirty

I don't think the lady at the left cared much for having her photo taken with a frosty cold one, but the gal on the left didn't give a damn.

down but not out

And it comes to that part of night

and it comes to the singing part

he's remembering the words as he goes along

and my blood's so thin with beer

that there's weight in the air

and the air's my best blanket

and I've fallen asleep

feet flat on the floor

again.

be still my heart

I've said it before and I will say it again: one of the real dangers of doing a blog like this is that I sometimes fall in love.

Skateopia

I remember first reading about this place in the pages of Big brother Skateboard Magazine more than 10 years ago. It's a big skateboarder/artist/punk/bluegrass colony out in the boondocks. Lots of naked skating and blowing shit up for the fun of it. Looks like a hell of a time, but I sort of feel like everyone there is going to suddenly grow donkey ears and start braying.
