Still rolling in my 05 Spyder and I’m even more happy when I do than the picture people are!

Amen.

Starred for your shabby apartment near Arden Fair - my aunt lives nearby on Violet.

There are a lot of progressives in downtown Sac these days, and more coming in as some of the lower income areas gentrify.

His career was full of films nobody ever heard of, and his appearance in a few blockbuster type films didn’t really give him name recognition until Star Trek, for which he certainly did not earn a million dollar paycheck. I mean, he briefly attained sudden fame and had completed only his second appearance in what was…

He didn’t even know that his veto means fuck all. He probably signed it because someone explained to him that a veto can be overridden, and there’s no way he was going to let anyone else take credit for this shitshow in the event that something good comes out of it.

“FINE, I GUESS YOU CAN BE COOL, TOO.”

Take care not to injure your hip!

Ahem....

Agree. I’m a little bitter about it.

Pop Goes My Heart is my jam.

You just conjured up visions of goo flowing from brass that, until now, I had completely forgotten about. 🤢

Yes! Marching/competition season was my fave. I still have a pin floating around somewhere that I got at the Selma Band Festival that says “Flutes blow harder.” It caused quite the scandal!

Extra points awarded for being in orchestra (playing string instruments is hard!).

Gene Kelly gets a pass, but I still think he was faking it in Xanadu. I don’t think you were in Xanadu, unfortunately, but I’ll give you a pass anyway for your knowledge of Gene Kelly trivia! Bandies 4eva!

Yes, but our “band camp” was the freshman football field at school during the hottest week of summer (commonly referred to as “hell week” by the football coaches), and no one stuck anything anywhere as far as I know.

By “The One True Instrument,” I assume you mean the flute, because to suggest otherwise is simply mad!

I’m sad for you. Squeaky clarinets were the worst.

I feel like I have a sort of kinship with Jennifer Garner now that I know she was a bandie (perfect heel-toe March btw) and she played a wind instrument, too. But she didn’t play flute like me, so I still don’t like her.
