It's like malt liquor with red bull and some Fanta. What's not to love.<BR/>On occasion when I try to purchase them from my neighborhood liquor store in SE, the owner just lets me have them for free. "Just take it, you're the only person who ever comes in here to buy those things anyway."

Sparks is best for those not of legal drinking age. <BR/><BR/><B>capitulate--</B><BR/><BR/>Ahh, you are smarter than I...but they were only a dollar! I can't resist a bargain like that. Also, glad I could immortalize the moment for you in an extremely Sparks-y photo!<BR/><BR/><B>stevious--</B><BR/><BR/>Gig photos <I>are</I> rough. I only get good ones when I'm not trying. Quite a few years ago I was at a Fugazi/At the Drive In show in Iowa and my friend handed me the camera since I was taller and told me to take some photos. In particular, she wanted to capture AtDI because she knows a few of those guys. So I was concentrating all hard and probably got even worse photos than the ones you see above. Then, during Fugazi, I basically stopped taking photos in order to just enjoy the show, but snapped a few for the hell of it, and they turned out to be some of the best show photos I've ever taken. <BR/><BR/>But on the Radiohead tip, I don't know if any photo could've done that light-show justice. Although, I wouldn't really know because the DC-area show took place amid a <A HREF="http://theantidc.blogspot.com/2008/05/not-to-beat-soggy-horse-but.html" REL="nofollow">biblical flood</A>. Not so tight.<BR/><BR/><B>shannon--</B><BR/><BR/>The problem with Sparks is that it is quite delicious. I have a soft spot for canned alcohol other than beer (I wholly blame Russia for that).<BR/><BR/><B>jinaolm--</B><BR/><BR/>Yowza! "Heinous-rhymes-with-anus"! Them's fightin' words. Well, I can't comment too much specifically about the fashion of zee gays on Saturday, since my gaydar was powered down to conserve all energies for dancing and Sparks-imbibing, but I can tell you that some of the style I saw on Saturday was not typical DC (gay or straight). In fact, some of the items I spotted on Saturday were even *gasp* compliment-worthy!<BR/><BR/>Now, as for the $1 you've promised me to put on that get-up you describe...well, I don't think I own enough collared shirts to play along...Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700026735495447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000991705349014246.post-12235701867958273732008-06-30T19:26:00.000+01:002008-06-30T19:26:00.000+01:00in related news, chicago's pride was yesterday. m...in related news, chicago's pride was yesterday. my equally-old liver is now a calcified, cirrhotic lump of tequila-soaked scar tissue. when exactly did that bastard start to let me down?<BR/><BR/>but even in my agave-drizzled reverie, i still noted that even the speedo-clad leopard-print cowboys prancing down Halsted during the parade couldn't hold a candle to the couture-tards that DC promulgates. jesus mary and joseph, dc has some heinous-rhymes-with-anus gays. <BR/><BR/>you're a brave soul to stick it out in dc, a true investigatory journalist. but listen, i'll give you a dollar if you take a picture of yourself wearing your new topsiders and a shit-ton of popped collars (a la <A HREF="http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/uploaded_images/DB10010-706685.jpg" REL="nofollow">this dude</A>).johnny c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08206628004706816854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000991705349014246.post-58639506402232650342008-06-30T19:19:00.000+01:002008-06-30T19:19:00.000+01:00Sweet alcohol is vomit in a can.Also, just wait un...Sweet alcohol is vomit in a can.<BR/><BR/>Also, just wait until 30 comes and goes - your Sunday morning/afternoon hangover becomes Sunday morning/afternoon/evening hangover.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089796721473561446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000991705349014246.post-59181047262456077742008-06-30T18:56:00.000+01:002008-06-30T18:56:00.000+01:00Magic, my friend.Magic, my friend.Katie Leitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113382760816983830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000991705349014246.post-67633605224096148892008-06-30T18:35:00.000+01:002008-06-30T18:35:00.000+01:00Capitulate - how can you tell yourself from all th...Capitulate - how can you tell yourself from all the other blurs?I-66https://www.blogger.com/profile/12929341629393348737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000991705349014246.post-75227632926542613992008-06-30T18:23:00.000+01:002008-06-30T18:23:00.000+01:00Gig photos are always awful.
