WWASH = While We're All Still Here

noreply@blogger.com (-kw) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:46:00 +0000

The first-ever WWASH get-together is next Monday — the winter solstice — December 21, and it's nothing more (and nothing less) than a chance to say hi to friends, eat some eats, and drink some drinks.

But why?

Because it's much easier to say hi to people when they're here as opposed to when they're not.

I just finished this book and I have to tell you I am a little bit freaked out. But not necessarily by the things I thought I would be freaked out by. Well,,, I mean I already knew that the processes used for Bleached Flour were not good and that Natural and Artificial Flavors are really neither. But Steve Ettlinger was able to scare the bejeezes out of me regarding so many other f'ed up things about food and its current processes. Via his quest to identify the sources for the Twinkie's long list of ingredients. How would I have known that the waste incurred to make Vitamins in the pill form is so environmentally unfriendly no one does it outside of China anymore. Or that much of what we eat starts out either as corn or a petrochemical. Well, I think we all knew about corn. All that said, I am still going to make good on my personal reward for completing this book by actually having one of the 500 million Twinkies sold this year. Now that I'm fully aware of all the shit that's in it, I might even enjoy it.

Carrie Browstein's NPR Blog is consistantly ripping, but her post today about Fugazi and Chunklet and James Burns' mp3 compilation of their stage banter is one of those things that makes you want to hug the internet and give it a big kiss on the lips of its mouth.
