Weekend housekeeping:

• Snake Super Health group workout at 11 AM ET at Van Voorhees Playground Bar PULLUP BAR in CARROLL GARDENS USA. Why not, right? Rain or shine. If you wear jeans you get a standing ovation.

• Snake election party—the night of the Canadian election. Whenever that is. I actually watched the BC provincial results on the CBC when I was home a week ago. Kootenay riding as usual is full of surprises.

• If anyone in NYC is going to WFMU record fair tomorrow (can’t go), and you find any of the following:

  • Klaus Schulze Body Love 1 or 2 (with Obi)

  • That flooring company 12” (not gonna name it)

  • Poison Arts 7” where they’re in the Camaro

  • Beatles White Album #69

  • Any Moz 12” (besides Fatty; trying to complete my list here)

  Pick me up and I’ll lace you with a sub/equivalent
