A Reason To Be Writing
What an undertaking. I haven't written in months because I just had nothing to write about that would ever interest you. But now I have one. Those damn bottle return machines. Today I had a chance to make 70 cents on bottle returns. I was siked. You round that up and it's basically 3 quarters. Round that up again and you got a whole dollar. So there I am with a bag of bottles (12 Yeungling, one Sprite, one Mug Root Beer). I start with the glass bottles. I dropped one in and...it comes right back out, unshattered. WTF. What does it say? The store doesn't accept this brand of bottle? What the hell?! I bought these at your store! You tell me you can't take it back? Bull shit. And to top it off, the plastic bottle return machine was full. 70 cents were left at that store in whole bottles. I came home empty handed. Bull shit. F that, man.
Popular Science came out with this in 1960 for a bottle return machine.
You'd think they'd also make sure that return machines were equal opportunity machines, accepting all brands of all sizes, all shapes and of all colors. But wait. 1960. Of course they weren't thinking that. Those bottle return machines are racist in their own ways.
And no, I'm not going inside to ask them to take my bottles. My inner man says "No, don't. If these machines won't take them, then forget about it. Lost f-in' cause."
Enough ranting. Now let me tell you that Preston Demands has two more shows left before the inevitable break up. First one up is July 25th at the Knitting Factory. You should hit that up because the Knitting Factory is also closing and moving to a new location. The second is August 14th at Sparrow. You should go to that too because it's for a cancer benefit. I'd give you more info, but our website is down, so I'll have to remember to ask Preston for details and then remember them the next time I write/blog. I'll try to keep you all updated.
Till then...
