might not be important as far as graffitti, which might be more 'the message is the medium' rather than the other way around, hard to get a good pic of graffitti anyway, although i believe some photographers from the 20th century covered the topic... brassai, aaron siskind?

Yay, happy anniversary to Brian! And glad to hear B&S were so good (I forgot about stuart not being well last year). And since Mother’s Day was mentioned, I read this 4/28 nytimes about Kathleen Hanna-

Also, she had never before spoken publicly about being a mother. "I didn't want to get asked work-life balance questions at every single interview," she said. Mother-hood, like victimhood, was another artistic pigeonhole she hoped to avoid. But "Rebel Girl" is a book about her life, and Julius is a big part of it. "I asked him if he wanted to be in it. And he was like, 'I'm going to be mad if I'm not," she said.

yeah, the bartender put it in an unused drawer. i went to said bar, and the bartender that evening had no idea. she put up a group text, and the first bartender's bf knew about it and texted the other bartender where to find it. it was a nervous 40 minutes waiting there.

A couple of years ago, Flipper did a show and were struggling on vocals, especially this song. A friend jumped on stage to do the vocals, they welcomed him, then he jumped off stage. People asked him about it in random places for weeks after that.

It was more of a suburbs than Paris thing though. Suburbs in Paris mean poor areas, not like the US, people are getting kicked further out for the olympic games, so exurbs will soon be the new ghettos here. No public transit, they can't afford a car, it will be a disaster until the rich realize they don't know how to literally clean anything

Not really: you speak the syllables backward, then often drop the last or another, or add one. For instance, "cop" is "flic", so it becomes "keufli", then "keuf"

I could see that. Lots of money in Levallois-Perret. My sponsor sent her 5 year old daughter to Club Med for kids while myself and the two other students lived in her apartment. Ironically, my sponsor was a bad cook and we students had to fend for ourselves. We got along great.
