Don't Forget Hippie Hanukkah

If you don't want to brave the heat, the rain or the traffic on Saturday to do your Hippie Christmas shopping downtown, you can always hit the local thrift stores for Hippie Hanukkah (it lasts for several days, and the gifts are more modest).

There are a lot of recently-made donations in the shops, thanks to people downsizing before they move.  If you need a winter coat, or a pair of leather pants (and who doesn't need at least one pair of leather pants in their closet?), now is a good time to look for it.

Saw Cheap Trick tonight. Robin Zander was in his leather pants- how he fit in those I'll never know. I just think it is wrong when a 57 year old is in leather. Olivia Newton-Johnin Grease always looked the best in leather for me.

Maybe Robin Zander was sewn into his leather pants just before the show. Didn't you already see Cheap Trick once this summer?

found definition in urban dictionary: "Most leases in Madison, Wisconsin go from August 15th to August 14th of the following year. Many students are stuck in no man's land from noon on the 14th to noon on 15th while the owners are turning over the apartments. Some people camp out overnight guarding their earthly possessions. In the aftermath of this multiple-day circus plenty of rancid old pieces of furniture are left out on the curb for opportunistic hippies to snatch."

lol

Never heard that one before!
