Akron calling
Wheelie bus in ten, an hour later I'll be on the way to Beautiful Akron Ohio, land of Devo and the Cramps and other weird folk, for the Howard Finster exhibit, and sundry other weirdness and opportunities for pithy social commentary and snark with the Queen of the Bondo. It's not every day yours truly gets to escape from Ye Olde Towering Slabbe, but I promised Randal pictures, and I need to occasionally leave the county or the state so this will satisfy the urge for now.

If you can steal me one of those creeptacular wax figures, then I'll really owe you one.

♪ Akron calling to fair Parmastan
ReplyDeleteWeekend is here, and you need a plan
Akron calling all peons in the slab
Forget the library and leave the lab
Akron calling, Randal Graves is a mess
Cleveland is melting and he's in distress
Akron calling, there are songs to play
And pictures to take, snap them all day ♫
P.S. I am a robot.

sounds like a good pilgrimage, hope all goes as expected and without too much f*cked up weather

Finster = King of the Backyards.
ReplyDeleteAkron = Tire City, USA
Also, too: Akron/Family AFAIK has nothing to do with where you're bound.
