When was the last time you washed your clothes while wearing them? Until last Saturday the answer for me would be never. However, that all changed when Lindsay and I stopped into the Foam Party at the Cardinal Bar downtown. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different. Sure dinner and a movie can be fun, but dinner and a trip into a giant washing machine... now that's entertainment!
We knew this would be a rather unusual event when we walked in and noticed the majority of people were wearing bathing suits and most probably turned 21 within the last few months. Despite being in regular clothes we decided to dive right in. Lindsay and I tend to be on the short side on the height scale so within seconds we were completely underneath all the foam. I hope that was her hand I was grabbing. Trying to enjoy a cocktail or two can also be quite a challenge when your mouth is filled with bubbles.
After about a half hour we decided we had enough and we headed to the car. A soaking wet car ride home didn't seem like the best idea. I had a couple of towels in the trunk so we stripped down to our underwear and jumped into the car. Of course, one car did slow down to see what was going on. I said to Lindsay that some guy was checking us out. Honestly, I don't think he was really paying much attention to me.
Will we become regulars at The Cardinal's Foam Party? I'd say no, but it did give me a new appreciation of a nice quiet bubble bath at home.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...

This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
