Sojournous

@mass_ave Got this poster made from an original that a guy who worked at IRC had taped to a wall!

May 11th 1969-saw Jimi Hendrix at Indiana State Fair Coliseum. Chicago opened for them (I’m a Man) Since I could now drive and gas and tickets were both under $4, I saw about every act that came through Indianapolis for the next few years.

@773tom79 @UltimateMopars If I remember right, car was driven by a local dealer. For a month, he practiced coming into the pits at speed and braking at a specific flag in the ground. On race day, someone removed the flag. He didn’t realize it until too late.

@UltimateMopars Wow, first I’m learning of this.

1971 Dodge Challenger Pace Car after losing control and crashing into the media grandstand.

Through the EMULATION, I am honored to present several editions of Running Moon (released as Art Blocks Curated in 2022), two watercolor paintings, a thread painting, and a short video documentary about my practice (produced for @GAZELL_iO .io for my solo show in 2024). 2/3

@60sPsychJukebox Dan hicks and his Hot Licks! Criminally underrated band !

Psychedelic Jukebox Gig History May 3rd 1974: Electric Light Orchestra, Dan Hicks & The Elvin Bishop Band played Robertson Gym on the UC Santa Barbara campus in Santa Barbara, CA.

Agreed! Writing towards an emotional truth helps create reality 💫

@JayRock_QueenCi Great car. My parents had one. They are tanks. Lots of metal to protect you from all the idiot drivers: physics always wins.

I just bought a 1978 Ford LTD for almost nothing from my wife’s grandfather, who just wanted to be rid of it. It’s only got 7k original miles on it and has been garage kept its entire life. It runs like it came off the lot. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it.

@LiterateIndy Creased hats. Shined shoes. Suits and ties. Men once knew how to be dapper.

@iowahawkblog Q: Sign next to every gun at a French gun sale? A: Dropped twice. Never used.

Q: Why did the French plant elms along the Champs Elysees? A: Because the Nazis enjoyed marching in the shade

@Paul_L_OBrien My mom stopped eating. Hospital sent an “expert”. Nothin worked. Expert said let her go naturally or use a tube. I took a spoon with soft food said “mom, I made lunch but I think it needs salt. can you taste it” she said “Sure Honey” & took a bite! I cried. Expert was stunned.

From the files of an Alzheimer’s caregiver. This morning my mom saw on TV that it was Fenway Park’s home opener. She turned to me and told me in great detail about her first visit to the park in 1946, when she had just turned nine. She spoke lovingly about going with two of her cousins and her dad. They watched Ted Williams, and that’s when she fell in love with baseball. Later in the day, I turned on the tv so we could watch the opening day ceremonies. She looked at the tv and asked me what we were watching. I said it’s opening day at Fenway. She looked at me blankly and said I don’t know what that means. I turned off the tv and put on music. This disease is horrible.

A poem’s title is the first line, the last line, and an elevator pitch all in one.

@Martyupnorth hoping there would be bonus points for wearing a “I’m with Comrade” t-shirt :)

I checked the NDP convention website. Here's a handy equity card scoring matrix. Hearing impaired trans racialized "woman" with a learning disability = 10 points Mobility challenged trans racialized "man" with a medium IQ = 7 points White trans "woman" wearing a Kiefer = 6 points Black woman with an eating disorder = 5 points Racialized man with a low IQ = 4 points Young white woman with red hair = 3 points Older white woman with mobility scooter = 2 points Young racialized cis-males with BLM tattoos = 2 pts Older white male with PTSD and hearing aids = 1 pt Middle aged cis males without a job = 1 point Working white males with high IQ = Zero points How do you score??

@Katie_Dozier @davidbellow Wife and I love our model Y. Had it for about 3 months. It’s a dream with FSD.

@davidbellow Waiting for mine to get here 🎉

My wife go her new Tesla Model Y after a little accident in the previous one (the big truck had more damage than the Y lol). Picked the 7 seater as soon as it was available and transferred FSD. Best deal out there, especially for families! The smaller kids fit great in 3rd row! Thank you @elonmusk and @Tesla we love the sparkling black paint and the smooth full self driving. The sound system seems louder than ANY other Tesla by the way even the Cybertruck haha. I never get over the entire roof being glass that you can enjoy the sky and scenery and the sky. Beautiful! And the screen in the back with Bluetooth for the kids headphones to watch and listen to their own entertainment is a lifesaver!

@its_The_Dr Any song worthy of blasting in a 1968 Camaro deserves immortality!

Man this takes me back, before my time but I loved cruising around with this blasting in my 1968 Camaro! 🤣😂🤣. Do you know this song?

@JATompkins I’m in a different state so I won’t be much help. Nonetheless, bike thieves suck. I keep thinking I should hide an AirTag on mine but wonder if it would really do any good.

Indy stolen bike alert: my Lectric 2.0 was taken today around 2p in the Fountain Square area. those who know me know I loved this bike more than most things. any help keeping an eye out for it is appreciated. please share

@jmasseypoet I guess a measly stream or creek wasn’t good enough for her. Had to be a big old river!

The river never consented to this. She just barged right in. A dam shame.

@LiterateIndy Hmmm, first thing I thought of was the Prince Madoc/southern Indiana legend.

March 24, 1888. Indianapolis Journal. An unsolvable mystery +sassafras roots. One of my favorites, from 138 years ago today:

@Paul26443656 Back in the day, I had a Battleship green 70 Boss 302. Bought it used and beat up. I loved the car but couldn’t afford to maintain it. Had to sell it. Still miss that car.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

@LiterateIndy Visited this studio many years ago. I remember the guide turned off the lights. She wanted us to view his paintings with only sunlight streaming through the window. The transformation was incredible.

The T.C. Steele Historic Site in Nashville, Indiana is definitely worth a visit: indianamuseum.org/historic-sites…
