Look, I lied. I thought I could stop posting but I can't. Bob is no longer here and the Traveling Wombury is no longer Traveling, but that's the vein of rich irony we love to mine. For the next few weeks or so we'll be staying on a farm in the town of Lafayette. Here's a picture for you. I took this from a plane. Made from a kit. More on that later. Feel free to read on. The new blog is Off the Grid (with the Traveling Wombury), at www.offthegrid2007.blogspot. It's a work in progress. It's weird, personal, confused, angry, sentimental. In short, it's everything I grew to love about Robin Williams' body of work.
Boulder is home of the University of Colorado, which makes Boulder a College Town. There is a sisterhood of college towns in America. Let's list them in alphabetical order, starting with "E": Austin, Asheville, Boise, Boulder, Eugene, Berkley, Paris, Frankfurt, Zimbabwe, Bermuda, and Neptune. As you can plainly see, citizens of one College Town like to make the circuit of college towns. The young lady above attends the University of Wisconsin which means she's probably drunk in this photo. Look at her: Nordic, blond, shitfaced. The Traveling Wombury went to UW-Madison. He's also drunk in this photo.
What's missing from this picture of downtown Boulder, taken around 2 pm? Rhinoceroses? Salmonella? Give up?
If you answered "Minorities," or "Black People" or "The Minorities", give yourself a high five, Mr. Racist. Or is it Mrs.? Or is it Miss? or is it Ms.? or is it Ms? or is it Mme?
Guess what else you find in College Towns besides people who are not minorities? Hippies who play Harps, like this guy. This guy helped the Traveling Wombury find Saxy's coffee shop, which has free "wi-fi" unlike Starbucks, a corporation known for aiding Nazis during the schleidenfuss. We will never forget the schleidenfuss. You can donate to the harp guy at www.thatharpguy.com
