I feel fairly safe now in Bay Ridge. I have a feeling I might be the first of many gentrifiers in the future. But that is a long way off. The 2-3 block area around my place is Hookah bar & laundromat city. And that is not changing any time soon. Some comfort in that.

The first Soup Dragons thing I heard was a compilation of their singles called "Hang Ten" that Sire released in the U.S. around 1987/88. Those songs are so good. They reminded me of The Buzzcocks so I was hooked right away.

Therese, I have vivid memories of driving down the BQE with friends heading to South Street Seaport, gal wants to play “Jesus Jones” and I am just saying, “Get this off!” and her saying, “Why do you hate them? They just want to have fun!” Yup. We have our shame. Also, “Many people are unfamiliar with the interrobang, and would be puzzled when first seeing it…” DUH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33am

TO me, more impressive than Therese's correct use of "interrobang" was the callback to earlier in the back-announcing with "There's punctuation in the title." I LOL'd, though maybe I'm just loopy at this hour.
