WHAT
That astronaut Bowie video that everybody was freaking out about yesterday? Feast your brain on this:
The Larrivée Parlor acoustic guitar in the video went up years ago on the Space Shuttle, and astronauts have been playing it ever since.[5] Given that launch costs at the time were between $20,000 and $30,000 per pound, the cost to send up the guitar was probably in the neighborhood of $75,000.
HERE IS TODAY
I’m constantly yelling at people for not having a sense of scale when pondering their relative insignificance in the grand scheme of things. Maybe this will help.
Yup

After Secret Society tom’w, @letsgetshort & I DJ our 2nd DANCE PARTY. Union Hall, 9:30, free and open to ALL
This is our second SECRET SOCIETY DANCE MIXER, open not merely to Secret Society members, but also members of other Secret Societies (excluding the Damned Voles), and even those few people in Brooklyn and beyond who are members of NO SECRET SOCIETY AT ALL.
Doors will be open for dancing as soon as we wrap up the Sec Soc meeting at 9:30PM. Rees has been going INSANE on the Ableton and will have some amazing mashups for you. I will continue to spin things I downloaded from the internet in order to feel young again.
There will be special surprises.
Please retweet and retumbl and reface this. I want to create a fire hazard.
That is all.

This will be fun! Please join us.

California Bars Won't Stay Open Until 4 A.M.
The proposed bill, SB 635, didn’t pass, so bars will still close at 2 a.m.
Do you think LA’s lack of reliable public transportation forces us to drive drunk?
Forces? No. Encourages? Yes.
Since I’ve left LA, many things have improved. Taxis are easier to find and hail, Uber has made inroads, my friends are more willing to walk relatively short distances to and from bars, and are more likely to offer a couch or guestroom for sleeping off drunkenness, and the quality of local booze spots has gone up dramatically.
However, there are still nights I’ve driven from the Westside all the way to the Tiki Ti or Verdugo or wherever and then had to decide between taking a dumb risk and driving home or coughing up a giant sum for a cab, knowing I’ll have to repeat the expenditure in the morning, and will likely find a parking ticket waiting for me as well.
At that point in the evening, if I wasn’t ALREADY braying about how much better New York is for drinking, I usually start in earnest.
