Columbusicans of a certain age, thanks to a loan from Curt Schieber you can take a nostalgic tour of indie concert and music of the 80’s in the Library’s Columbus Memory collection.

At Bob Evans, the down hominess only goes so far.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here is a great photo from my street in the summer of 2004.

A photo of a sign tied between two trees saying “re-elect great leaders Bush & Chaney 2004.” Yes. They paid for a big sign with Cheney misspelled.

Not going to lie. I need this jacket.

Finally! After way too much time, I got the stripped valve cover bolt loose. Yep. Way down there with the ViceGrips attached to the easy out. The least accessible one.

A C5 allroad 4.2 V8 engine compartment littered with tools and with only one valve cover removed. A closeup trying to show how inaccessible the stripped bolt is.

Shout out to all the One Piece kids!(especially the 4Kids ones)

A Weird Al show!

The stage at the Palace Theater in Columbus, ready for the Weird Al Yankovic show.

Short review: Spinal Tap II was better than it had any right to be. It was like watching an all-star game where everyone involved was having the most fun of their lives.

Definitely not an almost exact duplicate of the Crosby Stills and Nash album cover by Harry Diltz. Photo by Harry Diltz.

Throwing this image out there in case anyone needs it this week.

The weather is so mild and nice in Columbus now and Natalie’s Grandview is out thumbing their nose at fate like this.

Happy CMAT album drop day for all who celebrate.
