theatre enjoyers what’s the 1 bootleg of a performance you’d do anything for. me personally i’d kill for a copy of oscar isaac’s 2017 hamlet or a proshot of saved the musical.

I saw The Man of Mode at the National Theatre in 2007 and like, I suppose there IS a bootleg video of this except it is the recording that they have in the National Theatre archive which I made an appointment to go down and see and my friends, it is… not great. That’s what you get when there are two fixed cameras and they’re just…recording it for the archive maybe????

My late great grandmother kept a box of melted nails from her house as a memento from the Great Chicago Fire

forbidden rice krispy treat

@copperbadge, this just seemed like the kind of thing that you might find Neat

Oh, this is super cool! You don’t often see actual relics of the fire – I mean, for obvious reasons, but still. Generally speaking, because it was so complete and so long ago, there’s no physical evidence out kind of, you know, in the world, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any kind of book or exhibit about the physical remains – just photographs that don’t mean much because they’re literally photographs of nothing, of “Where something once was.” 

[ID: Sitting on a wooden table is a square block made of nails; they are all pressed together and intermingled, and the effect is indeed not unlike that of a rice krispy treat made of old timey nails.]

‘Our Town’s Libraries’ which I drew for the @nytimes recently… Speaking of libraries, I have a new book out titled REVENGE OF THE LIBRARIANS and I am visiting Brooklyn NY, Philadelphia PA, and Columbus OH with it in the next week. Visit tomgauld.com for details…

when I was driving home today, I saw about 4 old women wearing head to toe gothic gear. Black lace, black facinators, black jewellery, black parasols

And I got super happy, just delighted that older woman in my area feel comfortable dressing in alternative fashion

it was only as i got halfway up the road that it dawned on me they’re probably wearing mourning outfits cuz the Queen fukkin died
