Missing Building 19, now and always

Building 19 used cheap jokes to sell cheap crap. These two guys think it was art. - The Boston Globe

Building 19? Well, it was a store that sold things. There's a word to describe those things, but we can’t print it here. Let’s just say it r

This story is really only going to be relevant to my fellow Olds who live or once lived in Massachusetts, but it's great. Dang, I miss the sheer adventure of visiting a completely atmosphere-less Building 19, never knowing what you were going to find, and always having a great time doing it. (And of course, I miss the flyers, too.)

Who's excited to get cheap Christmas decorations from a dirty warehouse that sells knock-off brand food, things that are dirty and broken, and still has the same products as they did ten years ago? This girl.

Day 46: Suite outing and cutting Paul's hair

Yesterday I cut Paul's hair. He came to Olin, and within two days had probably received ten comments that he needed a haircut. I mentioned that I had cut Gaby's hair several times, and would be willing to do it. In he waltzed a 2, and so we set up a chair and a few towels, wet his hair and got started.

At first I shortened his hair by about 2 inches. Not satisfied, he and Trevor insisted on a shorted cut. Slightly apprehensive, I chopped off another four inches using the "cut the local maximum" technique I personally developed. The suite, covered in hair, was a tribute to the long locks of hair I snipped from his head.

At 4, our suite headed out in the Hootonmobile to Building 19. We successfully found a bathmat, and I got two notebooks and a loofah as well. We had just left our parking space when I said we should hit up Five Guys before leaving, so back into another parking spot we pulled. I ordered a large fries for the six of us; we sat there munching peanuts and dipping our hot fries in ketchup. It was a good day.
