Craigslist: Missed Connections

craigslistmcbanner_big.png

What's going on around here you ask? Well... Spring is in full bloom, the ACL lineup was announced last week, the weather behaved nicely for us all weekend, and Friday Night Lights is sticking around. Everything is coming up Austin! What could be better you say?! We've collected the best of last week's Missed Connections for you to find out for yourself...

ATTN: 80s Cokehead Guy

Did I miss the joke?

Because it looked like the '82 Vette with T-tops, the Nikki Sixx hair, the rolled up overalls, and the pink Converse have been hanging off that 95 pound corpse since it was actually cool. People stopped doing that in '91, and its not cool again - yet.

You really didn't tell everyone in line at the grocery store that there should be an afterhours strip club for all the drug dealers, right? Have you been sitting on your couch doing coke off the Ratt mirror you won at the carnival that long? You know they're open as you say that, right? Right now?

Wow, man. You've been in a blackout for over 15 years. How?

Next time its 10 am and you're still up watching Dr. Phil, listen to him. You're the guy he's always talking about.

Step back into the Delorian McFly, you've visited the bad 80's. It's possible that you brought them back with you, way to go. Although I do have one thing to say, don't pick on the Cons!

This was a great conversation about, and plea for, Trader Joe's. We totally agree, we have fond memories as well. Please, Please, Please! Although, we don't share the sentiment regarding the dumpsters. What's up with that?

Trader Joes...

Two Buck Chuck Portuguese Sardines Generic Bottles of Scotch Transgenic Soy Products

All good - Yet my heart doesn't ache for what was behind your (often-locked) doors:

Alas, I miss your dumpsters the most... The eggs. The smoked salmon. The organic open-range nieman-ranch beef, fresh vegetables, your gallons of plain yoghurt...

i miss you...

trader joes...

i really do-
we only met for a short time in california and new mexico...

but i just can't afford whole foods, dammit- and your prices were so good-

oh well-

i'm moving anyway

Trader Joe's

Why won't you come to Texas? It's not so bad, you can sell your two dollar wine (Two Buck Chuck), I can afford to eat healthy, we will be happy together.

I, also, miss Trader Joe's. Whoever posted that shouldn't have, it only makes me miss what could, perhaps, be the best part of California.

That's it for this week. If we missed any of your favorites
just post them for us all to view. We'll be back next week with a new
round up. Until then, may you find Peace, Love and
Connections.

    What does City Council have to do with it? I know this is the People's Republic of Austin, but I was pretty sure that we don't really have a centrally planned economy.

    Unless you want the City Council to do subsidize the distribution of Two Buck Chuck (which should be very popular around 7th and Neches) with a sweetheart tax abatement deal, City Council shouldn't have anything to do with it.

    People, people, people...If you want a Trader Joe's you have to write letters to them and to the Austin City Council. Posting randomly on Craigslist will get you nothing. I've done my part. Have you done yours?
