AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE THIS EFFORT, HoboGirl needs to trash this garbage format.

OK, CASSETTE-OPHILES: BRING IT ON!

Who went to see Jonathan Ames last night, by the way?

COURTESY haclyonsnow for the meteorological omen.

IF I WERE YOU, I'd be at Mo Pitkin's tonight to see HOW TO KICK PEOPLE, and then stay all night for Jonathan AMES and his SHENANIGANS.

BUT, sadly, unavoidably, I AM NOT YOU.

That is all.

THE LENGTHS

PLEASE NOTE the lengths to which Ape Lad will go.

I ADVISE: do not cross him.

AND I AGREE: if that iPod supported one more line of type, you could have gotten a proper h-in-sunrays on there. Anyone know anyone at Apple Computer who could fix this?

THAT IS ALL.

I would be very concerned if I received this pizza.

Thank you, HoboGirl1

ATENE STAYS GOLD


A FINE ACQUAINTANCE in California brought the original Atene video to my attention.

NOW HE HAS RETURNED, and I am as awed as the rest of the internet.

I FRANKLY would not have the courage, and THERE ARE SOME TERRIBLE VIDEOS OF MY YOUTH OUT THERE, believe me.

THE 12th BIRTHDAY PARTY TAPE is missing. THE HIGH SCHOOL CENSORSHIP EPISODE OF "RAP-AROUND" WITH TOM BERGERON is OUT THERE and could surface at any time.

WOULD I HAVE THE COURAGE TO ATENE-LY CONFRONT MY PAST ON THE INTERNET?

Probably: no.

That is all.

I HAVE TO EAT a large helping of hobo humble pie this morning.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that I do not own THIS BOOK.

EVEN THE DAMN TRUTH FUZZ at "The Straight Dope" have known about this book FOR AT LEAST A YEAR.

FURTHER EVIDENCE that Cecil Adams desires to shame me.

LUCKILY, the Twincesses have set me straight.

SHAMEFACEDLY, and with thanks to photophonic.

That is all.

OLD NEWS

THIS LINK, I trust, is old news to you , people of the internet.

BUT I MIGHT POINT OUT, that hoodie probably only cost $1000. So that is one difference. Can you spot the others?

That is all.

LIFE UNDERGROUND

I AM PLEASED that, apparently, I am not the only one seeing the eerie sack people underground.

THANK YOU OCDeegan, and thank you Tom Otterness.

I have been for so long underground, out of state, and working nights with Justin Long.

BUT NOW I RESUME POSTING

That is all.

JESSE TAKES MANHATTAN

And sadly, I will be out of state for the SOUND OF YOUNG AMERICA NYC shows this Friday.

But I encourage you attend. The 8PM show features our friend Mike Daisey; the 10PM show features COULTON; and many whom we do not know personally but would like to.

WHY NOT BUY TICKETS FOR BOTH SHOWS?

Maybe that is not allowed, but if it is: DO IT.

If you are in LA, and thus cannot attend, I also would recommend the Kaspar Hauser business at the UCB on Friday.

AS MY WORDS ON THE COVER WILL ATTEST, their parody of the the Sky Mall catalog is astonishing, briliant, and necessary.

That is all.

VINTAGE 1977


how to be a hobo
Originally uploaded by suttonhoo.
AMONG SEVERAL fine photos of hobo halloween costumes posted on the internet,

THIS IS UNIQUE for its vintage (1977) and the fact that it includes A WITCH.

(Or something. What is that?)

THIS WAS A TIME when many children of a hallow's eve night would dress in costumes now considered distasteful

(for example, THE FRENCH PROSTITUTE COSTUME--a hit, I am told, in the Atlanta area in 1980).

ALAS it does not quite satisfy the requirements of the h-in-sunrays group (which is to say: found in situ, ideally without computer manipulation); but I hope you will continue to enjoy S. hoo's work here.

That is all.

DEMETRI

I have learned that Demetri, who is in Columbus tonight, will have to go to Chicago tomorrow, and then come BACK to Columbus on Friday.

The least you could do is visit and say hello in one or both locations.

Meanwhile, I will stay in Columbus to be on television tomorrow night.

That is all.
