I was Taylor Branch's research assistant on volume 2 of his trilogy! It was before the days when you could do everything online, and boy did I spend a lot of time in libraries up & down the East Coast photocopying things. I also transcribed all of his interviews. I haven't seen him in years (and I've always been kinda curious why he has written so little since the 2006 release of #3), but he was a genuinely cool guy and it was a privilege to work for him.

Well I'll sure be here for Pretty in Pink! In many ways, the outlier of the Hughes canon. I'm currently on the pre-publishing waitlist for this in paperback: https://www.kentuckypress.com/9780813180106/harry-dean-stanton/.

Amazing that Harry Dean Stanton made this flick right after his magnificent turn in Repo Man (1984).

I hope you'll also address the atrocity that Andi made of two perfectly nice prom dresses: one of them a glorious mid-century vintage that was tacitly on loan!

Oh I love Fair State Coop beer, and so now I'm super curious about this Hop Water. I love my beer with all the hops, but having an option that water but I'd think was like having a beer?? I'm skeptical but again, curious...
