The one that got away

This turkey would like to remind you to stay out of the malls this year so you can buy your Christmas presents in locally owned small businesses that contribute more to your local community. Don't be a jive ass mofro, shop and buy local.

I'm not one to fetishize the 1970's or Las Vegas but...

...I loved the photo on the cover of this vintage Art in America magazine so much that I had to buy it. I got it at Book Lovers Warehouse on the Jonesborough highway, in the old Food Lion shopping center. That place is a treasure trove of cool and funky used books and vintage/retro magazines. Be aware though, that the owner, an old man with a wild and unruly beard who smells faintly of stale urine, is one of those guys who loves to make a comment about each and every one of the things you buy. He'll even stand there and stare at a book or magazine for a moment until he thinks up a 'good enough' comment about it.
