Home Again! I'll get to the travels in a minute. But first:
I'm running a little HNIA contest. To enter all you have to do is write a little HNIA-themed haiku (3 lines, consisting of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, five syllables -17 syllables total) explaining who, exactly, is the "KING OF SWEET." You could even describe the album, in the style of those old Bunnyhop album reviews that came in haiku form, like:
King of Sweet, blurred
Cornfields, Roethke, and sex,
Metaphysically.
First prize is two tickets to any of their upcoming shows, runner-up gets a copy of their new album, XMMER.
The contest ends October 15th. Send in your entries! I need more, and soon!
So far shows have been announced for NYC (with ST. VINCENT!) -October 19th, Chicago, Mnpls. Later in Nov. (27th) there'll be a show in Boston. So if you live in or near any of these cities, please drop a haiku here or over at the post linked above.
If you don't happen to live in or near these cities, don't let that stop you -I'm sure an alternate prize could be worked out easily enough.
Online reading tip: Cooking Tips (some ingenious, some batshit crazy, some in-between) from El Bulli's Ferran Adria.
The mister idea is GREAT. The siphon maybe (it's expensive, and you have to buy cartridges). Thai tea strainer: useful. "Lightening" mayo with whipping cream: uh, no, gross!
