The Heart and Sole of Oakland

[spectralbovine]

Does anyone remember my Oakland Art and Soul Festival report from last year? Or two years ago? It's a Labor Day tradition, people

Let's see if you can figure out what's so amusing.
Your money spells out glib!

Also, this post made me laugh multiple times.

You win four dollars! Metaphorically.

Yay! Which times? Hee. Glad to entertain.

Lots of times! I have a love/hate relationship with you making such long posts. It's so hard to keep track of everything I want to comment on that I get overwhelmed and don't.

Let's see:

Everything related to Raynesha. (Maybe she's just having the world's longest manic episode?)

Falling onto a paraplegic woman.

Having everything you say come out in moron. (I just had that happen the other day! So awful.)

This especially: "Suddenly, without thinking, without even realizing what I was doing, I grabbed it out of the air like it was the goddamn Snitch and immediately turned around and handed it to Other Sister."

Yeah, I think a lot of people have that issue.

MAYBE?? I...don't understand how she exists.

Falling onto a paraplegic woman.
Definitely classic.

Being around people with Wikipedia entries makes be babble.

This especially: "Suddenly, without thinking, without even realizing what I was doing, I grabbed it out of the air like it was the goddamn Snitch and immediately turned around and handed it to Other Sister."
That wasn't supposed to be funny! Well, not entirely. I didn't realize I had gone all Seeker on it until I was writing the post.

Your pants, I must have them....FOR MY WALLS.
Ha ha ha ha.

I cannot tell you how long I stared at that picture trying to find where someone had written "Veronica Mars is smarter than me," but it was longer than it should have been.
Hee! Oh, days of yore.

The Wombats!! They are awesome and I am jealous you saw them.
You should be! They were quite fun. I think they will count as my Discovery this year (previous Discoveries were Honeycut (2006) and Audrye Sessions (2007)). Usually, it's a local band, but the Trophy Fire weren't impressive enough.

So funny. Sounds like you had a blast. Great pictures and commentary. Part lesbian huh? And I love the comparison to people who read posts but don't comment. Hee!

I've heard of The Wombats, just not sure how. And I miss Eddie From Ohio. All of my music is on a very dead computer. :(

[spectralbovine]

I'm not sure how I first heard of the Wombats either. Maybe on Soundcheck. They might have actually played "Let's Dance to Joy Division" once.

I'm sorry about your computer! It sucks not to have access to your music.

[lynevere]

Regarding the Wombats: "Let's Dance to Joy Division" was a free song on iTunes, so maybe from that?

Crawfish etouffee would be a zydeco band, of course.

Deep-fried snickers is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life (and I've had the twinkies, too.)

Also, I am going to friend you, if that is okay with you.

[spectralbovine]

What's the texture of deep-fried Snickers? Because I imagine the bar melts a bit.

It is okay to friend me!

[cmbarrytx]

They put a coating on the outside and dust with powdered sugar. The nougat and caramel turns into a very warm delicious fantastic amazing mixture.

Thank you :)

Texas loves to deep-fry everything!
