Mon3tr, with me
The Fossil, Masaki Kobayashi, 1975
dr helmut marko said on sky germany he doesn‘t really thing the race will be held today as it is still raining. delaying it to monday wouldn‘t be possible because a lot of the staff for the track can‘t be there on monday. so he said either it will take place today or not at all.
bernd mayländer mentioned yesterday that it is not only a problem with the car being able to drive in the rain, but also if the helicopter will be able to take of. (in my understanding not only the one for the camera but the medical one to ensure saftey). today he said the weather is better & the grip level (at least for the safety car) is pretty good
personally i‘d be really sad if it get‘s cancelled but the saftey of the drivers is always the most important thing so i‘d understand. i also think it would be good for the mechanics who have really been giving it their all for the last three weeks
The Fossil
I’m not going to lie, chooms, I’ve been so bored working all the time. I can’t believe that next week, there’s a show at the Fossil that’s not during my shift! It’s Thursday Night at 7pm-11pm. A couple local bands called Copaganda, Blaring Sirens, Tactical Duke, and Tamandua are going to be playing. They’re all punk bands but I guess Tamandua has a surf punk vibe or something. I’m not sure I’d be into it, but it might be different live.
I’ve been to The Fossil a couple times before over the years. They hold All Ages shows sometimes, so I was 13 the first time I went. The place used to be a gas station back before CHOOH2, and a hideout for a couple gangs since then. Somehow, it survived without being demolished, and eventually was fixed up into being a pub in 2028. Instead of rows of merchandise, it’s full of tables just like any restaurant and a small stage. They serve stuff like “Chicken” Tenders, Pizzas, Hot Dogs, and other cheap food you’d expect to see in a gas station. The booze is bottled or canned, mostly, but they do mix cocktails. Their most popular is the Dino Egg Slush (10eb), which is a concoction of Green Apple Smash, Rainbow Bits Candy, and Vodka that comes out of a Slushie machine. I never said these were classy cocktails.
Outside, you’d be forgiven for thinking the place was still abandoned on slower days. The pumps are completely covered with stickers, graffiti, and large “out of order” signs. The windows are very tinted, and the entrance is separated from the rest with a black curtain. There’s a bulletproof glass-covered ticket booth in that area during shows, but it doubles as a front counter and register especially during the day. The entrance has a couple shelves of merch, snacks and drinks, and a cigarette vendit. It’s not uncommon for people to come in just to buy snacks and cigs, but it still gives them business. I mean, I do it too sometimes. I can’t wait to go back. It’s trashy, but it’s part of the local music scene. Night City wouldn’t be the same without it.
