Everywhere interesting to take a picture is too dark. I’m at an All
Tomorrows Parties curated music fest at a built-in-the-70s-creepy,
dilapidated resort near Monticello, NY. Jason and the male half of
Sparkleyforks are watching Dinosaur Jr. I’ve seen Thurston Moore,
Edan, Shellac, The Drones, Harmonia, Autolux, Mogwai, Bob Moyld, EPDM,
Trail of Dead, and a blur of others. I left Dinosaur Jr early in
exchange for a bit of knitting time before this chocolate cake wears
off and I crash in bed.I’m going to totally miss My Bloody Valentine,
but that’s OK. Jason promised to wake me up for the 1:30 showing of
the 1960 French horror film “Eyes Without a Face”. We’ll see if I
actually get up and go.
Bake me up before you go go
Two dozen bagels, mostly in the freezer now. I’m tired.
Bitch needs help!
Due to the general slump and a specific print-media slump, Bitch magazine is on shaky ground. Other magazines with giant parent companies have the capital to weather these bumpy times. Bitch is nonprofit, and that generally means go down fighting.
They need $40, 000 before October 15 to print the next issue. You can donate here. You can also buy a subscription (that’s what I did, along with a donation), or send a subscription to someone else – it helps Bitch, and it definitely falls into the category of a gift that keeps on giving. The first person to send a year’s subscription to a friend and comments on it will receive a year’s subscription from me. Yay, altruism abound!
Even once they reach the mark, that means they’ve covered the *next* issue, not that they’re sitting pretty. Go on, donate!
(Also, doesn’t Andi Zeisler look like a certain Kate B.?)
From the garden
I’m so crankypants, I don’t care that ixould have tried taking a
better “we hate flying” photo. We’ve been on the plane, on the ground,
for two hours now. We were delayed by an air-conditioning problem that
involved turning the heat on us 🙁
We’re heading back for more fuel and a full explanation, according
to our pilot.
Bonus: a guy sitting ahead of me was on that famous flight (I learned
about it from Clay Shirky) that was grounded for hours and hours, and
resulted in the Passenger Bill of Rights. He’s not in a bad mood, so
maybe I’ll take my cue from him. Or maybe he’s a hollow shell from his
previous experience.

Thoreau, Alcott, Hawthorne, and Emerson are all buried at Sleepy
Hollow Cemetary.
Thoreau leads us around the replica of his cabin.
Tomatoes,
acorn sqash, oregano, peppers, carrots, dill, coriander, and
lavender. (Not all seen.)
Thoreau up!
