No manga post today—I’m about to start cooking an epic Thanksgiving dinner. However, you might enjoy this post from my personal blog, which will give you something to be thankful for. Times may be tough, but at least we’re not reduced to darning socks, substituting shredded potatoes for flour, and making our own soap.
Also, Thanksgiving is the day when radio stations throughout the land play Alice’s Restaurant. A few weeks ago, I got to see Arlo Guthrie in concert, and I even chatted with him for a few minutes afterwards. This is the third time I’ve seen him (the first time was when his hair was still dark—that’s how old I am!), and he just gets better and better; if he’s coming to a venue near you, I highly recommend making the effort to go. Anyway, I was noodling around and I found this account of the actual Alice’s Restaurant Massacree, which makes pretty interesting reading. Check it out while you’re waiting for dinner.
Happy Thanksgiving!
When I was in high school, I was nuts for Arlo. I had found a picture of him in Rolling Stone and had it plastered inside my locker. I also typed out all the words to “Alice’s Restaurant,” and correctly formatted the part that was in the middle of the other side, capital letters, quotated, etc. :)
Happy Thanksgiving and a happy Black Friday to all.
