Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from March 12, 2015 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Last show was a messy affair. A botched expedition with no survivors. Let's set down this same trail and find better fates this time around.

Huh, Flash Strap, I'll be down in Orlando in 3 weeks. Brother is getting married (ironically in Mexico [rest of the fam lives in FL]). I had to borrow $ from my brother to attend his own wedding, It looks like I'll probably get a jobby job come May if all goes according to plan, then I can finally get my heart again,...

Sounds like a good time, NGH. Where you heading in Mexico?
Avatar 7:19pm
northguineahills:

Cancun. Ironic since next week I have an interview for my wife's immigration process, and I met her in Monterrey, 8 years ago (I have never been to the resort towns in Mexico).

My brothers mentioned there was a lot of purple in Orlando last weekend (yes, they were at that game).
Avatar 7:21pm
Flash Strap:

Best of luck to you in your jobby job man! I hope May does indeed bring good things.

I love Mexico but I've never been to Cancun. Lived in San Miguel de Allende for a couple years but that's all I've seen

I've always wanted to get this Joe Henderson album. It's eerie you can recognize Alice w/in the first second. Ok, really going now.

I'm supposed to get lunch at a Greek place tomorrow (apologies in advance for tardiness on HDT), but I may argue for a change of venue to the Thai jernt 1 town over.

Hey Doug! Never better than when I see you in the place!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:37pm
Uncle Michael:

The restaurants here are pretty weak. We have one Thai place and it's not too bad. I usually get the roast duck with ginger...LOTS of ginger.

James, you need make no apologies. Your support is appreciated and unassailable.
Avatar 8:38pm
Flash Strap:

Hoo, where I am there are four nearby Thai joints, all on the same street, all owned by the same guy, all totally mediocre.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
listener james from westwood:

The hands-down best General Tso's I've ever had (Chef Chang's House, Boston—RIP) was not stingy with the ginger. Oooh baby.

As a Chicagoan, I kind of love how Gawker keeps skewering StL over and over and over.

Sorry.

I'm not up on Gawker's assault, but it's pretty fair to say I'm not a committed member of the STL team.
