PEACE All. Why is that building all curvy??
  3:07pm
Dean:

Like downtown L.A.'s Disney Hall, it must have been designed by Frank Gehry.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
rrg:

Hi, LL. "Paul Simon Wednesday" is something that Irwin once described as "the three scariest words I've ever heard".

Or words to that effect. I'm paraphrasing. It was so long ago. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
Avatar 3:10pm
Wild Neil:

Frank Gehry...a starchitecht....I dropped out of Cooper Union's school of architecture and there are some of the smartest people I have ever met there in my life...but my GOD some of the unusual justifications for odd designs really warped my mind, in some cases permanently.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
rrg:

All right, all right. I'll get this Bran Flakes album. I'm persuaded.
  3:13pm
Dean:

I *so* wanted to attend Cooper Union's architecture program! Got into another program, but cold feet (I can't draw for beans) and post-adolescent wisdom gave me second thoughts. Walked away from it. I enjoy Gehry's early career work. Can't stand the slithery titanium crap.

@Dean. I learned so much more in the sculpture shop working with my hands....and the freehand drawing class. You really didn't miss too much. Really. What do you do now?

Planning ahead, it would seem.
  3:18pm
Dean:

@Wild Neil: Librarian (with a dash of lawyer). Really, I think I wanted to study architectural history, high Gothic cathedrals, Alberti, and all that. Did well in an architectural drafting class (we're talking '80s), even got a job offer...which I timorously declined. But I live across the street from an architect, so there's that!

a friend of mine recommended this from 3 Floyds Brewing: "FLOY DIVISION III 7.5% ABV 85 IBU -- The third in the experimental single hop Floy Division series. The hop character of this IPA imparts notes of tropical fruit, honeydew melon, cedar, and herbs."

I've had other beers from 3 Floyds, very much enjoy Alpha King. area bar that I would spin soul 45s at once in a while had it on tap - tasty!
