TIAPOS Cancelled FUAH.

The Great Plotnik had hired 18 string players and the woodwind section from the Metroplotnikan Opera to come and perform his latest composition at TIAPOS last night, but, sadly, TIAPOS was cancelled. So Plotnik fired the orchestra, tore up the composition, burned the sheet music and can't even remember writing it this morning. Too bad, you guys.



What was amazing was he still had time to ride around the Western Addition yesterday and take this photo of a mural on the side of a housing complex there. The basketball player is Phil Smith, late and former Warrior star who grew up in these buildings. All the other faces pictured are African-American; nevertheless, the sign next to it (All Activities at this Location May be Recorded) is posted in English, Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese.



Last night, the Plots took Nefnik, Fefnik and Vashnik on the Downtown-Pazzia Pizza-Treasure Island run. It was all glorious, as always. Two pieces of pizza came home in a box and (you won't believe this, Mr. Notthat) they are STILL in the refrigerator this morning.



Vashnik does many things well, including riding a seal in the parking lot in Treasure Island. As little boys go, he's perfect.



Tonight is the beginning of the second half of the baseball season. The Plotzers are in town to play the Braindead Caribbeans. Plotnik already knows how it's going to turn out, and there's nothing he can do about it. The Caribbeans are bound not only to sweep, but the Plotzers will probably not score any runs. At the end of the weekend they will trade all Plotnik's favorite players for a bunch of overpaid, underachieving, aging, bloated fat guys. It's too late for a new shrine. Oi.
