Hi Nicole.
Sorry for the long absence and late response. I had a skirmish with my local city hall that had me jumping and now Sloss fright Furnace has kicked into gear. I need to update you on those shennanigans.
My ‘Blondie’ video would not play, but I am very familiar with our little Debbie. Nevertheless, the ‘Paragons’ were utterly charming and their harmonies captivating.
I can’t believe I am going to vote this way, but the ‘Treasure Isle’ record label with the street address ’33 Broad Street, Kingston, Jamaica’ printed right on the cute little vinyl 45 put them over for the win. I am a big fan of ‘Treasure Island’, so that reference helped.
This year at Sloss I am going to be a marauding motorcycle monster, and chase people on my plasma blaster motorcycle in my ultra-cool post-Apocalyptic gear. Rarr!
Cheers, Tipsy Bookworm Lady!
Your pal,
~Icky 🙂
