Rained out Random Ten

Well, this is a drag. Got all this stuff ready for the big garage sale and it is raining. Not much now, but by noon it's supposed to be thunderstorms. Ah well. There's still Saturday, and maybe Sunday too if we feel like it.

Let's have some music for a rain delay. Here's today's Rained-Out Random Ten:

Goo Goo Muck--The Cramps



Sheena Is A Punk Rocker--The Ramones


The Hardest Button To Button--The White Stripes

Excitable Boy--Warren Zevon



You Really Got Me--Van Halen

Till I Get My Way--The Black Keys

Bone Machine--The Pixies

Dragula--Rob Zombie (I just noticed something 42 seconds into that video that shocked me)

Singapore--Tom Waits

Eighteen--Alice Cooper

What we're up to this weekend

It can't always be tropical drinks in exotic destinations with fellow bloggers. Next week we'll be attending as much of Pilcrow Lit Fest as we can, and the weekend of the 23rd-24th brings, in rapid succession, Pilcrow's finale, my niece's first birthday party, and a Retro Zombie Tiki Terror party (more on that later.)

But for now, it's garage sale time. This is the weekend for the annual Mount Prospect Garage Sale: 500 + garage sales in one weekend. You can read more about it here.

We cleaned out (mostly) the basement and (pretty much) the garage, and we'll be peddling our crap on Friday and Saturday. We'll be taking Sunday off to go to church and then sacrifice a hog.

Mark your calendars now for Sunday, May 24th. The Chicago Horror Society is presenting Retro Zombie Tiki Terror! at the Tiki Terrace in Des Plaines. There will be drinks and contests and pinups and zombies, and a certain lovely and talented young woman will be working the event. Come out and party like it's 1959. You can sleep in on Memorial Day.
