    But that is cool in its own way.

    My Head Got Bigger? What the heck?

    OK, well, I could use losing a bit of weight. I'm at about 215 or so now, and I would be happier at 200. So I'll try that. I never eat sweets but I eat food a lot sometimes, like entire pizzas. As for the sweat bands shrinking, I did not think of that either. I'll try that. This is good...

    My Head Got Bigger? What the heck?

    OK, good. I feel like less of a freak. But this was pretty SUDDEN. Not 27 years. Maybe one or two years.

    Cross-traffic in vintage communities

    Yes, the first thing my former best friend did when he decided that he was now a rockabilly is cultivate a particularly transparently conformist scorn for the swing folks. I thought it was very dumb. In about 1993 I used to hang at Club Deluxe on Haight Street in San Francisco with Scotty...

    My Head Got Bigger? What the heck?

    What a curious device. I shall have to get one. Thank you. EDIT: I just found and ordered a hat stretcher from Harbor Freight: $6 plus $7 shipping. I'll try and stretch mine rather than selling 'em (sorry Mike).

    My Head Got Bigger? What the heck?

    I'm glad it hasn't happened to you. I WOULDN'T EVEN WISH THIS ON AN ENEMY, much less a fellow Lounger. If ya show me the stretching thread, I'll follow the instructions. Or should I soak my hats in water and then wear them?

    My Head Got Bigger? What the heck?

    Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread. I couldn't find it. My head got bigger. No joke. I used to wear 7 3/8 and now they are simply too small. They ride slightly high up on my head. A 7 1/2 is right for me now. Is it because of grad school? I don't know. Squinting at texts all...

    My Bay Area Vintage Perceptions ... I haven't gone to a rockabilly event in quite a while. I'm due for one. My former best friend went rockabilly all of a sudden in about 1999 and started claiming old rockabilly roots (complete nonsense, he was a latter day punk rocker before) so I avoided that...

    Show us your suits

    Very nice! I wear modern DBs with vintage ties and vintage fedoras a lot myself.

    Prosciutto. Do you like buffalo? I find it too dry.

    Mr. Surely, the wife and I will be delighted to meet you when we come to BC. Yes, we'll have a toke with you (or two). I only didn't mention you because I thought you weren't around anymore. It is nice to see you back. Spitfire, I thought (but maybe it's a figment) we had a disagreement about...

    Election Night Watch Party--What's your drink of choice?

    I changed my mind. No Scotch after all. I think champagne.

    Election Night Watch Party--What's your drink of choice?

    Yes, Jeffrey (Kyle MacLachlan) is pressured into having a drink. He asks for a Heineken. Frank (Dennis Hopper) says "HEINEKEN? F_CK HEINEKEN! PABST BLUE RIBBON." Frank is one of the most frightening characters in modern film, joined by Hannibal Lecter and, I would argue, the new Joker...

    Other Sites?

    I'm a member of a forum that concerns itself with cults. I mainly only visit a thread that is frequented by ex-members of the Lyndon LaRouche organization. I'm not an ex-member, but I know a few. It's called factnet.org and other threads on the forum give the latest informatin about...

    Everyon'e favorite Rorschach quote from Watchmen .... "Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night. Looked at sky through smoke...

    Nice avatar, Carter. As oral hygiene is a great concern of mine, I have decided to promote it with my new avatar. This is, after all, Oral Hygiene Appreciation Month in at least one country in the world (though not this one). Linc, 2181 Shattuck is where Jupiter is. Are you really...

    I'd prefer something closer to home. How about Jupiter? It's near the bar where we all met last time in Berkeley. But it has both a dark wood interior plus an outside with fire pit and stunningly good pizzas.
