And So Begins Year 104…
… with a loss.
In a sport steeped in tradition, the Cubs refuse to break with their own: Solid Starting Pitching, Weak Bats, Weaker Pen.

Refinery29: Hole Up! 17 Of The Best Dive Bars In L.A.
“Dive” is relative, but a decent list, including:
Jumbo’s Clown Room
Jumbo’s is set up like a strip joint, but nudey-phobes need not worry because the burlesque dancers are only scantily clad, and actually put on a pretty impressive performance. The place packs up fast, so either go early to uniquely kick off the night, or end up there super late for serious kicks.
Plus, the dancers use props.
Not that I’d know for certain. A friend of mine told me. Regardless, the name alone is worth a drop-by. (via)
I mean, seriously… How could not want to at least investigate a marquee like that? (Images: Jumbo’s Clown Room)
Adweek: Etch A Sketch Declares Itself Apolitical In New Ads

How’s that free market capitalism tastin’, Mitt?

LA Times: Peter Bergman, Comedian In Firesign Theatre Troupe, Dies At 72
In college, I pretty much committed “The Further Adventures of Nick Danger” (from TFT’s 1969 LP — How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You Aren’t Anywhere At All) to memory.
Trippy stuff even for the early 80s. Bergman voiced Lieutenant Bradshaw.
LB: Just a friendly word of advice, Danger.
ND: Yeah, what?
LB: Don’t go stickin’ your big nose into police business.
ND: Sure, Lieutenant. Is that all?
LB: No! Don’t talk with your mouth full.
ND: Okay, Bradshaw—
LB: And don’t fidget while I talk to you.
ND: Sure, Lieutenant—
LB: And stop tracking mud across my nice clean floor!
ND: Okay!

It feels like my asshole’s on fire.
LA Times: Ralph McQuarrie, Artist Who Created The Look Of STAR WARS, Was 82
For a teenage kid with artistic aspirations (and who ate up everything STAR WARS back in the early days), McQuarrie’s work was the awesomest of awesome.
Rest in Paint, Master McQ.
