Artist, dog-lover, and avid reader.
This year, I turn 50. That makes me, at best, a scene elder. You could also call me “scene elderly.” Either is fine.
@timkabara.bsky.social is in with some Advice for Becoming “Scene Elderly” in this week’s ANYTHING FOR A WEIRD LIFE

Many events this Sunday will be advertised as happening during "The Big Game" because the name of said big game is copyrighted, so you can be sued for using it. In the scene I am in, I sometimes think we lost a bit of something along the way to that big game youtu.be/9wcLVh4yf6Q?...

So, the story is... it's going to snow. In Baltimore, old traditions continue. I was explaining to a new friend in a long grocery line that yes, this is a bit of a "panic mode" thing, sure, but at least you get to hang out with the neighbors in line, something to talk about... something to do.

As their set progressed, a victory lap of sturm and drang, wild howls and heavy heavy hardcore in full effect, I reflected on thirty years of this here wild scene.

4. $$$ people (#2) would be just as satisfied with an AI generated list
5. The pleasing and palatable are championed over the challenging, subversive, and disruptive
Top Five Reasons I Don't
1. Art can't be ranked or measured
2. These lists are a function of commerce- shopping lists for $$$ spending season, not a "year"
3. The lists are stealing the labor of people like me who spend 24/7/365 engaged in thoughtful art consumption and contemplation

The last night at the original Baltimore location of Wham City was a slam-bang good time. Attendance was strictly limited. I did not have a ticket or anything, but I got in, anyway.
