Yes, my friends. The picture to the left is a motorcycle and/or car trailer that says 'EL NAZI' on it.This picture was taken last year, when i went to Willimantic, Connecticut, to see a reunion show for and old club called Studio 158.
The club that Jon, Lyndsey and i went to is called 'The Wrench in the Works Collective.'
It's in an old, old factory and 'EL NAZI' belonged to the Spanish guys chop shop that was attached to the building.
'The Wrench' is a cozy room. It's an open space with some tables, a place for the bands to play and a sofa. And then there are the books.
Thousands of books on philosophy, feminist theory, revolts, struggles anything and everything to do with leftist thinking.
when we walked in after paying our $5, the proprietor told us we could 'peruse the literature.'
Listen, i came all the way from The Motherland (Easthampton) to see my friends band play and to see some people from back in the day. I didn't come in to read someone's graduate thesis on why the Cuban missile Crisis was good for communism, or why i have a penis and should feel guilty.
BUT, they were really nice at the place and i liked the old architecture as well as the ivy plant that was making it's way through the window crack and along the interior wall of the space.
The weird thing too: everyone was drinking beer. Cheap beer. I saw many a Bud Light Lime float around as i was having a coffee.
I guess the revolution can wait when you are 'grabbing some buds.'
I may seem harsh but i wasn't too happy to have gone this far to end up in a supposedly culturally froward place while the whole neighborhood around the club was a slum.
Why not get out of your clean, well lit place and make a real difference, instead of singing about it and going back to your McJob?
So it went from 'EL NAZI' to this.
'ElL NAZI' was the talk of all of us. I had to snap a picture.
I didn't get very far into much else this time.
Don't get me wrong: i believe in this cause but sometimes not the execution of it in this manner.
