adventures close to home

[lolaraincoat]

I've been meaning to write about all kinds of stuff - interesting music heard lately, the opening of the new scary half of the Royal Ontario Museum, some thoughts on the collectively authored soap opera in which I am a minor participant, an article I'm writing very slowly - but things have been busy, you know? So instead, merely this query

If you need a Hatstand: The Professionals! Hahaha, I crack myself up.

Srlsly, a thrift shop that has furniture should have them--in fact my friend Lee bought one at a rummage sale last week and it's still sitting in my front hall. Or, do you guys have Pier One or The Bombay Company?

I don't know where to send you for a hatstand. So I'll send you to my favorite use of hatstands in fiction, instead. (The hatstand-related content is in the first six, six-and-a-half minutes of the clip.)

It's a lovely hatstand! And so useful! If only I had one just like it! But not on the planet of doom. Here, instead.

I thought everyone used their home exercise equipment for that. Are you some sort of non-conformist?

I have a coatrack from one of my grandfather's old restaurants, which I just love, but I guess it doesn't help you much. Do you want something freestanding? Or a fixture that will mount on the wall?

[lolaraincoat]

The hatrack of my dreams is freestanding. Also: your grandfather had restaurants? Cool! Details?

My father's family were in the restaurant business for many years. However, they were a bit quirky. All of them were Sicilian immigrants, but their specialty was and still is tamales. I think I was about 15 when I discovered that tamales were Mexican

Topic! (Since we have no established that you have no family restaurateurs to leave you what you need.)

Check these out at Stacks and Stacks. Mine is a lot like this.
