Square
One of the coolest things I’ve experienced in the past year was going to a “drive in” theater.
In Manhattan.
It’s a gift I decided to give a friend of mine for her birthday a few months back, and a bunch of us decided to secretly gather and take her to a movie. And by “bunch” I mean four of us, because this drive-in is really an old Ford convertible parked indoors at 139 Norfolk.
But now… the drive-in is no more.
Well, to be more precise, it’s being moved, and 139 Norfolk, a.k.a. Grand Opening is now a gallery showing “Goth-Loli” photographs. I am officially feeling old because I had no friggin’ clue what that was until I went to their website.
But what really cemented the notion that I’m experiencing a severe case of pop-culture disconnect is that I read a webcomic about this whole Japanese Goth-Lolita phenomenon.
Because we all know that once a trend appears in webcomics, it’s clearly entrenched in to our society. To paraphrase my friend Heather, I now feel like “I am more square than Doris Day at a beaver-eating contest!”
