Wednesday Open Thread the First

Hope the people west of me are doing OK. Sounds like a horrible mess. Winds are still ~ 25 mph here.

Please check in and say "Hi," so we know you're alive. 

The news in general is bleak and terrifying, and this particular item isn't necessarily a happy story tho it has a killer title, but at least it's visually rewarding. Per the AP, "Mexico’s often violent disputes between street performers reached a new level this week when a group of guitar-toting mariachis attacked a flame-swallower. What happened next was, perhaps, predictable."

 

 

It's 1:32 in the morning. The wind is fierce enough it's blowing the back gate open. Tried to word a post about an old ex for World Goth Day '24 but decided to skip it. Couldn't find a Goth tune about mariachis or fire swallowers, much less about a dispute between them, so I'll just post a band she and I both loved at the time. Dirty ass rock n roll in monochrome. I believe they were still performing as Warsaw at the time:

Stay loose and survive the day. The weekend is coming soon. And Happy World Goth Day, C., whatever you're up to.
