pizza slow (high quality)
  1. this hot tip was solid, Eric Isaacson had a lot to share and I’m pretty glad we went even if we ended up not getting home to relieve our high-school aged babysitter until after 9:30. “It’s OK, tbh I stay up until midnight anyway.”

    The tour winds down in Fort Bragg and then Bolinas: https://www.mississippirecords.net/calendar-2024

    Also: check out the 4 Star, which is also a record shop

    I never make it out the Richmond so I guess this rec is for people like me and not like, some sort of personal insight

    Photograph of the 4 Star theater from kitty-corner on 23rd and Clement, at night. The venue is a 2 or 3 story building with a vertically oriented neon sight of a white star over red letters S, T, A, and R rendered as neon block oblique outlines in front on Clement, and a smaller, lower neon sight on the 23rd that simply says 4STAR in oblique neon linesas a result the top half of the building is washed in red neon glowthe marque is a simple protruding and hanging letterboard with 4 white stars above it, proclaiming tonight: THU: A PEOPLESHISTORY OF NORTHAMERICAN MUSICThe entrance winds past a box office window to a door near the corner brightly lit from above

  2. this kinda stuff is better thought of as sets of idioms* in the it “cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements" sense than as whatever adjectives advocates like to throw around like “simple” or “clean” and so on

    it is a skill to be able to onboard and adapt various idioms, I’m just coming at this pile of them a little cold I guess

  3. having been futzing with it for a few weeks now, 11ty pathing and globbing as seemingly intended in the current reference setup https://github.com/11ty/eleventy-base-blog is still pretty befuddling, specifically how “Images can be co-located with blog post files" is done.

    the example “home” index doesn’t include any post contents, just titles and dates. if you want to include content, that’s easy, but it won’t be able to find the images

    weird. anyway, https://gravely.pizza lives again

  5. reminded of all the places I’ve tagged with my kid before they could write and make me stop.

    i’m down to the last few months before their reading catches up with this nonsense, I gotta get back on my game

    I think this was in john wayne airport five years ago

    a toddler (my kid) under two years old wearing red shoes and black pants and a black shirt stands with their back to us in front of a giant magnetic easel with rainbow colored plastic magnetic letters scattered over it, including: G r A V E L Y across the middle in red, purple, red, orange, blue, and green
