    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Where do you live? When I was in town last (06), "white trash fast food" was pretty swinging. There were retro/tiki stores in prenzlberg and golden era burlesque on the spree... has that grown at all?

    Mambo! And other Latin Music.

    New York in color: 1942

    It's a tough situation.. In NY (and elsewhere) there was this time in the 90s when all the diners "updated" their look from solid mid century soda hops to ugly pink, gold, and floral 80s decor. On the one hand they needed someway to give their business a boost to survive. On the other hand...

    Mambo! And other Latin Music.

    Glad to help take you back, JA. :) He showed up on my Slacker Radio station, I'd never heard him before. I'm hooked!

    Anti Digit Dialing League

    No, not a teacher. I did teach English in nothern India about 10 years ago (McLeod-Ganj/Dharamsala) ISU... would that be in Berlin, by any chance? I usually do it this way: "Mercury 3 xxxx, in the 510 area code." Though it works better these days in writing. If enough people post about it on...

    4-H, anybody in it?

    Lots of 4H in upstate NY, knew some farm kids around where my Aunt lived who were in it from a young age. Nice bunch. Never was in it in growing up in NYC. Though I went to a 4H summer camp around age 8 or 9, it was full of foul mouthed metalheads, go figure?

    Clean shaved in the golden era.

    lol Glad that worked out! I'll keep in mind not to do any trimming at the altar next year. Maybe I'll do the NHL playoff beard thing?

    Anti Digit Dialing League

    I do that on mine too! I lucked out, and have my choice of MErcury or NEptune. MErcury sounds nice and "get the job done quickly."

    Anti Digit Dialing League

    Friday, Jul. 13, 1962 When Bell System executives grandly announced that all telephone exchange names would soon be replaced by seven-digit numbers in the name of progress, they presupposed the blind acceptance of a benumbed and be-numbered public. They were wrong: the telephone company is...

    What are you listening to?

    Roger Waters - "The Wall" Tour 2010

    Wow, very cool. Love old floyd, but the wall is one of my favorites. It dates me as a youngster, but my bro and sis loved it when I was young and they were teens. I loved the trial, but was forbidden from seeing the film —too disturbing. Finally got around to it in High school and played that...

    Poll: Dean Martin or Bing Crosby?

    Do I prefer apples or oranges? Tough call. They're so different, both connect to my youth in different ways.

    Wallets

    Looks swell! And that looks like one of those wallets that will look better and better the more it gets used and beat up. I'd be very happy too if I was you.

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    Love this stuff. Last of its kind, old school Maryland-style rye. The drink of Americans back when scotch was still a weird foreign drink ;) Prohibition killed off the rye market and it never recovered.. You can get it for less than both overholt and beam, and it's better than both. ALOT better...

    Favorite Summer Drink

    Kristalweizen with a fat wedge of lemon. Haven't found it most places here in the states, unfortunately. But nothing like it for summer.
