Fun Gig
So, my band No Sudden Moves had a gig tonight. It was a "National Night Out" block party in Santa Clara. We showed up, set up, got fed, played. People danced. Police came. Police danced. We got actual money. We got hired for next year.
We had fun.

Carburettor Correctness
So, the Bulwer-Lytton Contest results are in, and the winner is
As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
It's sad, the decline in literary standards, isn't it? As all true Triumph afficionados know, early Spitfires came with dual S.U. carburettors, whilst later ones (Mk III and onwards) came with SINGLE Strombergs. Furrfu.
