Don't Call It A Comeback I've Been here For Years
*for those of you/us who have been listening to that same crunchy boot from the Madison show from the late 90's as a way to expand on the Neutral Milk diet, perhaps something will surface out of this resurfacing.

iBowl
>Nice find-Japanese buyer with a JACK'S of Huntington Beach single fin Paipo (will it ever see the ocean again?)
>this guy got these beautiful Altec Lansing speakers, custom slate top/walnut and then a pair of old JBL's further down the aisle
>the best tag i've seen for a while
>Jungle Shorts! our friend Kathy planted this word in my head the night before the bowl, and there they were- a small litter of them...the big E's on top came home for the legs of the house, still cracking the Levi's Davinci code-hidden rivets + selvedge inside coin pocket.

Beautiful group of Salish or Lilooet baskets, British Columbia....the round one's could be Nootka and appear not as old as the large storage baskets. So I've been chasing these over a month at 3 different flea's, the seller finally putting them back out again at PCC last weekend~they are so perfect in form and design, the rectangular ones especially with the rudimentary imbricated patterns...great lucky group.
*crazy collection/archive on ebay here.
