I’ll start. Can I bring my homeless companion?
Of course
Shoe tattooist?
Does he doodle on converse hi tops with felt marker too?
Maybe we can get a professional paper airplane folder in there sometime.
That’s actually a ‘thing’ – customized shoes. I’ve never cared about my shoes enough to do something like that, but I know people that just love it.
There’s a wonderful interactive installation on Ballard Commons called “The Honey Bucket”. The trick is, apparently, to walk past it and take a dump by the library.
Whoa that’s offensive!
No, it’s called “post-modern art”.
Whoa, that’s funny. And accurate!
Yeah, kill the poor finally!
No man, is better we let junkies steal from the poor people’s cars while they’re at work. See how that works?
Shut up yuppie POS, kill the poor!
No man, we call them “deplorables” and laugh when they lose their jobs and vote for people we hate. See how that works?
Finally?
The photo of suburban looking white boys playing music cracks me up. So very neo Ballard.
They’ve got their flannels to point to their youthful grunge heritage, but they’ve also got on vegan sneakers, clean, probably freshly washed jeans with no holes, and a music stand so they don’t forget their lyrics. We shall call them ‘Dadvana’. Or ‘Dadgarden’. ‘Dad Jam’. ‘Dad-is In Vans’.
Yep
