I heart Acid Mother’s Temple. Sigh. I really do. Something about Japanese people, even (or especially) four grey-haired Japanese sages playing the most testicular brand of hypnotic rock n’ roll in the galaxy, that is just so damn cute.

The craft fair hours were extended until 6, don’t miss out! I spent the day there yesterday and the caliber of craftness is amazing.
