Machines of Loving Grace

In San Francisco in the 1980's, long before TNSC was even a thought (and many of you were too young to enter a tavern, anyway) there was an amazing industrial / mechanical / kinetic / ear-splitting collective of artists known as Survival Research Laboratories - or S.R.L., for short.

Led by their fearless (and mangled) leader, Mark Pauline, factions of them are still around, and other parts of them went on to form Burning Man.  But under the freeways in SOMA 30 years ago, S.R.L. was a BFD.

Honorary TNSC founding member, Mathias Genser, curates this moving pictures for your viewing pleasure:

Exhibit A  (note Additional Film Crew credit @ 6:40 - TNSC REPRESENT!!)

Exhibit B - a beautiful symphony of machinery and pianos

Exhibit C - SF MOMA Groundbreaking (literally).  The Fire Marshall part is pretty fun.

Exhibit D - A beautiful "mecho-drama" - A Bitter Message of Hopeless Grief
(check additional TNSC member credit @ 12:20)

"Young girls and gin may be the cure,

Young girls and gin may be the cure,
I'm talking just as good as you stay pure,
Young girls and gin may be the cure."

"What I did on my vacation
For the last ten years
I took pictures of your town
Plaid perfume on my breath
I mean I've been drinking Scotch
While touring through your town"

Luck o' the Irish

TNSC on a St. Paddy's Day?  What are the odds?

While I figure out that statistic, Heather Lake says to take a look at the following, but not to emulate them:

 St. Patrick's Day FAILS,

13 awesome cinematic bar fights,

 "Bro'liferation."

"The bartender just lets my tab slide.
Who's takin' who here for a ride?
For a while
At the Starlight Lounge."

And speaking of drinking... When is the April debate?

I won't even make a peep.
You won't even know I'm here.
Hey, do you got a beer?
Couch surfin'!!"

I'm Drumft!!!

Where's the fun in this?!?

Other than the outrageous prices for cocktails these days, tell us something that we didn't know!

If you're really too Drumft, you might need this.

After "Super Tuesday",  this mash-up may become all too real.

"You don't have to remind me
I smell like a skunk
Excuse me baby, but
**hick** I'm DRUMFT!!"
