Nightmare on Jump St.
1.1.2k6

If you saw me in Lost In La Mancha, the tragic story of the disastrous production and subsequent cancellation of Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Don Quixote, you might have wondered why I was wearing a pirate costume. I'll tell you why: I had taken Linky Loo Coordinator Alan J. Chimenti's advice and visited the Pirate Store in Bernal Heights right before I left for the shoot.

I was amazed at the place. There was everything a pirate might need, save a galleon to pursue, disable, forcibly board, plunder and ultimately burn and sink. There were fine silk shirts with voluminous pleated sleeves and tapered cuffs, dazzlingly shiny razor-sharp cutlasses, parrots of every species trained to sit atop either shoulder even in a fight, plain black and "fancy" eyepatches, plain wood and "fancy" peglegs, British Navy sailors to kill, unlucky sea passengers to assault and scurvy dogs to flog, keel-haul or make to walk the plank. And everything reasonably priced! I was a little low emotionally at the time and this place picked me right up. Seriously, you should go. They might even have ships now!

Tonight - Eagle's Drift-In Lounge.

Here's tonight's: Find the Reference!

Happy New Year to all. Sorry to those that might have missed last week's secret meeting due to the unexpected closure of The Owl Tree. That place is unreliable.

bye-ee!
