Soaking Up Some Salvage at the Fest
At Saturday’s Salvage Fest, the sun was shining (a little too hard but we can’t complain), most of the dealers showed up on time and attendees (some of whom came from as far as Chicago) showed up in droves, some with measuring tapes in hand, to see what all the fuss was about. Thanks to…
At Saturday’s Salvage Fest, the sun was shining (a little too hard but we can’t complain), most of the dealers showed up on time and attendees (some of whom came from as far as Chicago) showed up in droves, some with measuring tapes in hand, to see what all the fuss was about. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come and helped make it a special day for us. (We particulaly enjoyed getting a chance to meet so many readers!) In addition, a special thanks to Principal Wrighton, Amy Oztan from the PTA and Councilwoman James for helping to make the event possible. And, of course, a big shout-out to all the dealers (listed on the jump) who took a chance on a first-time event. It’s safe to say we’ll be doing more of this type of event in the future. Lots of photos in the Flickr set on the link; or view as a slideshow here.

Rehab, why don’t you talk to Bob Marvin. He’s into joining new clubs and I think you could broaden his horizons (among other things).
12:45, I hope you receive absolutely zero replies to that. Your mind is obviously made up and you’re simply itching to start something.
OK, 12:12- I’ll bite. Exactly how were you “made to fee uncomfortable and unwelcome”? While I’m almost 100% certain you’re either A) imagining it or B) Lying to start a frenzy I still (as a white resident of CH) have an interest in what exactly you think went down.
Bob’s right– I’m sure there are lots of ways to enter a site with different IP addresses. Many people access the web via systems that assign a different (hence the term “dynamic”) address each time they log on.
Again, all props to the race-baiter(s), who are quite skillful at trying to inflame people here–just like the talented poets who scribble on bathroom walls–and whose come-ons should be ignored. Generally, I think all of us who live in FG/CH know and love the racial/economic makeup of the hood–bohemian, predominantly black, artsy, working-class, business-y, literary. A great mix. Best I’ve had in ANY hood inside or out of the city. A couple of anonymous ranters on a blog thread aren’t worth the time o’ day.
And as one of the neighborhood’s gays, I’m pleased to say the crowd had its share of cute, scruffy, artsy boys. And I saw a couple of my people, there, too. Look out: we recruit!
OK. Fine. You’ve convinced me. He’s a freaking genius and this site is doomed.
Guest 12:07,
I’m not very computer savy, but a simple Google search on “spoofing IP addresses” produces aprox. 1,840,000 results, many of which, I’m sure, are familiar to our creepy but industrious “friend.”
Mom-I’d-like-to-fuck?
A lot of MILF.
Of course Mr. B isn’t neutral–he has a point of view and makes no secret of it–nothing wrong with that–what would be the point of reading his blog [or ANY blog] if it were otherwise? Wouldn’t it be BORING?
What I’ve NEVER seen here is any indication that Mr. B is ever operating in anything other than good faith.
