Random Thoughts about Nuevo In Akron, W.C. Fields, Vinyl Albums and Archduke Franz Ferdinand

So anyway, the Akron Downtown Public Library shows movies for free quite a bit, this is a good thing that Akronites need to take advantage of. For instance on Thursday night I went down to see W.C. Fields It's A Gift. Now anything for free is good, W.C. Fields for free is great, It's A Gift free is amazing. For many, many years there was some weird copyright thingee and they couldn’t even show it.

Frankly anyone who understands what the hell I'm talking about when I say “Lafong, Carl Lafong” is someone who my estimation of rises. Shallow maybe, but defenseable I think.

And while I'm prattling on about good things about Akron-Nuevo Modern Mexican & Tequila Bar is the sort of Downtown Restaurant that Akron really could use more of. A really good place to eat that isn't a chain or really boring food. The Sea Bass was out of this world and Eric behind the bar is great. Go there. Eat and drink a lot, it's a great place.

My friend Jeff is moving to Canada so he can live with his wife, who happens to be Canadian. That's a good thing. Jeff leaving is not. A really good party is. Glad to have “The Gang” together for the bash.

Went to a Vinyl Fair in Fairview Park today. Bought a TON of cool stuff. Somewhat obsucre albums my Barry Goldberg, Rick Roberts, Johnny Rivers and Heartsfield.

And a Marx Brother's Box Set of hard to find radio show appearances. That made me happy.
