EAR PLUGS/FILM FLAM
Goddamn, what a swell weekend! Met old friends at Drag On and chatted until far
too late into the night (and didn’t attend a single official event at the con,
oh well), got up hungover and headed to the drive in early and had a full day of
bands, badass cars, and b-movies, went back Sunday for more of the same plus a
few bikes, then Monday I even swung by the WRFG blues barbecue for a while. I
was beat Tuesday, but fortunately the hurricane had screwed up the power at work
so I got to go home and clean up the wreck our HQ had become in preparing for
the weekend of mayhem. A full report is below, though I was tempted to just say
“Shit, you should’a BEEN there.”

Opinions about bbq continue to come in from the last couple of episodes:
Dear Dick Tater,
How could you forget LOU REED from that Amnesty show lineup?! He was the
highlight of the night!!
Hippie's BBQ at the Yacht Club is the best I've ever had in Georgia. They
only sell it when the BBQ neon sign is lit in the front window, kinda like
Krispy Kreme.

Dictator’s response:
I will give ‘em props for the best beef barbecue/brisket I’ve ever had, despite
my extensive journeys deep in the heart of Texas. But their pork ‘cue has too
much sauce and seasoning, overpowering the flavor slow-cooked pork is supposed
to have. It’s good, but it ain’t the best.
WEATHER OR NOT
Thanks to a cool August and a wet hurricane it feels like fall is already upon
us, at least according to your editor’s biological clock. As long time
subscribers know, my mood swings from manic spring to lazy summer to dismal fall
to grumbly winter. It doesn’t matter what the weather channel says or when the
solstice is or the official first day of whatever season rolls around, something
inside me just clicks and suddenly it’s the new season for me. So have patience
with your seasonally affected editor for the next couple of weeks while the mood
swings.

Bush Campaign More Thought Out Than Iraq War
WASHINGTON, DC—Military and political strategists agreed Monday that President
Bush's re-election campaign has been executed with greater precision than the
war in Iraq. "Judging from the initial misrepresentation of intelligence data
and the ongoing crisis in Najaf, I assumed the president didn't know his ass
from his elbow," said Col. Dale Henderson, a military advisor during the Reagan
Administration. "But on the campaign trail, he's proven himself a master of
long-term planning and unflinching determination. How else can you explain his
strength in the polls given this economy?" Henderson said he regrets having
characterized Bush's handling of the war as "incompetent," now that he knows the
president's mind was simply otherwise occupied.
