Cleaned out my closet a little in preparation to pack up to go back to Texas. Dropped a bag of stuff off at Lotus House. Came home with this patchwork vest and Route 66 shirt that looks like it it was previously owned by a hillbilly prostitute with poor dexterity-it's cut and ripped in the most bizarre fashion. Both pieces are going to take some work. The vest needs about four inches taken in on each side and the shirt might have to be tie-dyed; it has some mysterious stains. The duds only set me back about $4 total, so I'm willing to invest a little more in them.

The Runaways
Where did this gold sequined butterfly top come from? When I bought mine at a vintage shop in Austin in high school, I'd never seen it before. Now it seems like everybody and their mom has one.
I saw The Runaways last weekend. The costumes in the film were phenomenal and very accurate based on pictures of the real Runaways that I've seen. Downloaded Bad Reputation and You Don't Own Me when I got home. Obviously I already had I Love Rock n Roll.

More Boss than the Biltmore
Checked into The Standard for Easter weekend, and it is now my favorite hotel in Miami. Dogs lounge with their owners by pool. All kinds of boats are constantly pulling up to the dock. The bathtubs are on the balconies. The lobby decor is kind of 60's mod California. The hamman spa is pure bliss, and open til midnight. Everything about it is incredibly groovy.

Let's Do Something Shady
I'm in need of some new cheap sunglasses since my $10 orange and green wayfarers were sacrificed to the metro gods on the way to Ultra. These from fredflare.com may be able to fill that void in my life.

The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test
Over Spring Break I read Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. It made me want to stock up on Day Glow, buy and refurbish some type of large retro vehicle, and hit the road. Minus the the whole LSD- turning-the-brain-into-mush thing, it sounds like it was a wonderfully colorful scene that included people ranging from the literati of Stanford University to Hell's Angels.
Grateful Dead
You're either on the bus or off the bus...
One of my favorite components of the book is how it tracks the birth of the whole LSD/ psychedelic era
