Was remiss of me not to give special mention to the Tiki Sunnies and other bar accessories provided by Krazy Kim and Outrage Cohen for Bar Lazy’s opening night. (As well as piss glasses from WAtching.)
Now, have already had some nibbles from several wanting to do guest posts for while I am away. I’m looking for something perhaps a little different. They can be serious if you want. They do not have to have images, but if they do then original please. They can be longer than usual posts. They can be poems. You can promote your website or other activities if you have something worth showing to thousands of people. You cannot libel. It can be off topic.You can be from another country. Email to perthworst@hotmail.com and include a link if you want to use one and your preferred name.

The Worst of Perth 
Would you like a “Worst of the Hudson River Valley” Special? Includes faded diners, burned-out mills, horrendous trailers, bankrupt hamlets, abandoned farmsteads, sinister estates, terrifying “rural charm” and Victorian architecture straight out of “The Shining.”

Yes I would love that.

Will see what I can do this weekend. Thanksgiving, you know. Where we all celebrate the one day that the turkey getting massacred isn’t, for once, you know, ourselves.

And all the features mentioned actually sound great! Perth’s problem is its newness, and the waves of money that have erased any such features from the city. It’s not big enough to sustain ruined estates, etc and any we did have would have been erased (several times) by new development. Although we do have this.

I remember doing dressage there as a teen, I think it’s only used now (the equestrian bit anyway) for horse-centric theatre productions like “The Dancing Horses of Spain” and “The Man From Snowy River”. I also haven’t been near a horse for over 5 years, so it might still be used for competition.

Doing dressage in the main arena was a childhood fantasy of mine cottcoast. Did you get to wear the costumes too?

Judging by that preliminary google search I would answer, yes. I should also add that it’s not pretty.

Thanks! I think they are great myself–and I appreciate the affection for Perth that is so clearly the basis of your satire and hope to match it. For me the “Worst” of the Hudson River Valley is frankly a tragic undertaking. There are so many beautiful things here, but the society that created them has moved on (and not without good reason) and the current generation is at a loss (also not without good reason) as to what to do with what has been left. Add to this some fairly crushing poverty and the creeping ugliness that seems to be our pre-made legacy in the 21st Century and a trip from Manhattan to Albany is basically the architectural and sociological version of “Titus Andronicus”–some astoundingly magnificent passages, but God, what a Gothic mess.

You’ve got the right attitude. To worst is to condemn and to celebrate. To feel revulsion and nostalgia at the same time. With one eye on history and another on a picture of a cock scratched into concrete.
