Time for another Hudson River Valley special from Bartender’s Skills with a Manhatten? After kind of rubbing our seamonkey noses in Teh valley’s rotting magnificence, he’s now getting hold of some real worsts.
Where utopia was left. Woodstock. (Not the Woodstock. A more half arsed Woodstock.)2 crackpot shops from half arsed Woodstock.
A dress fashioned in the likeness of an artichoke, Rhinebeck.
And a Mickey Mouse VW. Esopus.
And a splintery welcome for Hippies, again in Woodstock.
And a wonderful guitar gate. They do know they’re not the “real” Woodstock right BSWAM?
Herpes welcome?

BSWAM supplied only tantalisingly small photos.

Actually this is the real Woodstock. The music festival was supposed to be held here but the town council told them to go fuck themselves. So they held it in Bethel, NY, about an hour away, but called it “Woodstock” for the PR as the real Woodstock (pictured above) was famous as an arts colony and center of alternative culture.
The fake Woodstock has since usurped the real Woodstock with results as given above.

In that case, I’d have been tempted to set the gate on fire.
Yes, I realise that was Monterey. Work with me, people.

Will a fake Freo usurp the real Freo. We all look forward to that day.

Would have liked some shots of the bourbon and cola cannery.
Also the VW does look a bit Mickey Mouse.
