Damn. Just reading this makes me want to go through all of my King Crimson albums again. It’s been awhile. Thanks for the reminder.

Indeed. Middle school me also loved that book. Especially the passage where he explains what “giving dap” means. I’m sure the book would be a riot to read now.

And I always thought Shumpert looked like John Stamos. Now I don't know what to think.

And three times a week I shall require a cannoli!

Yes indeed! One across from the street from my house!

Yes, Hazlitt is an embarrassment to the Finger Lakes.

Or Napaw Valley.

A quality set of headphones.

The dude abides.

Strong take.
