... I have a VCR in the basement. It might even be hooked up to a TV. I'll just find the nearest ice floe to board, shall I?

I wish I lived somewhere with real nightlife. Death metal's not really my thing - hair metal, 70s guitar rock absolutely - but Hubba and various other things that go through the DNA feed look like a lot of fun. I live in a government town in a backwater province that never really recovered from prohibition.

You could put on a show like Hubba here, but you couldn't get a liquor license for it. "Nudity? And alcohol? Oh no, that would never do!". True story: the liquor inspectors closed down a public exhibition of jazzercise [1] at the local fair because it could be seen from the beer gardens, and "ladies in tights" was considered close enough to nudity to be a violation...

[1] Yes, this was way back when. The regulations are still just as strict.
