Daddy Wrall is Burning! PVD is burning too! (in the good way).

I missed the no-hitter that Clay Buchholz pitched on Saturday, but I have an excuse: Miss Fairchild was playing a killer party in Rhode Island. It’s called Providence is Burning and it’s truly the bee’s knees. This is how it works: Micah and Jackson, along with Certified Max (and Sammy Bananas) team up with Firehouse 13 (a really cool converted firehouse on the west side of Providence that houses art and artists) to create a monthly all-hands-on-deck party with dancing and fun and all kinds of things!

But let’s backtrack a little to earlier in the day on Saturday. Prior to heading to Providence to burn down the Firehouse (irony intended, I presume), Miss Fairchild decided it would be fun to clean Daddy Wrall’s ears. Now, having heard too many horror stories about cue tips and peroxide, we decided to go the new age route and use ear cones. It’s a little loud and a bit awkward (especially if that hair gets brushed by a burning ember!), but effective nonetheless. You can get the general gist from that oh-so-fun photograph above.

Sam Nice (He has too many names doesn’t he? I’m going to have to come up with a few more for myself so as not to feel left out) did the driving to Providence. It’s a drive he knows well, from his time living there, so he decided to take some liberties…

Pepper’s. The fortieth anniversary of the Red Sox’ Impossible Dream. The fortieth anniversary of the summer of love. (Personally, I find it strange that we celebrate every big events every five years starting with ten. How much new perspective do we have between the 25th and 30th anniversaries of a classic album? Enough to warrant a wallet emptying reissue, it seems. I guess 20, 25 and 30 years out is peak nostalgia range…) But what about the other fortieth anniversaries? The formation of the ABA, Thurgood Marshall sworn in to the Supreme Court, The Monterey Pop Festival, Elvis and Prscilla get married! And what about the bad stuff? Shouldn’t we remember that stuff, too? Race riots in Newark and Detroit, Che Guevara is captured and executed, Woodie Guthrie’s dies of Huntington’s…
