| Hipsters Flipsters And Kale Poppin' Daddies |

Most Royal Lords and Ladies, hold on to those old Buckley waxes and let me hip you to the latest swing of the Thing of the Ring Bing. ebay Auctions, an on-line auction house, recently split the roof beams with a big pool sized volley of kale pledges. A 10 inch version of Hipsters, Flipsters and Finger Poppin' Daddies was on the block and the winning bid (after ten days of slow motion tension) was $513.79. Here's a description of the album:
According to Walt Stempek, Buckley discographer, the Hipsters, Flipsters album is considered the rarest of the rare in the world of collectables trading. Would the Lord be subject to a seizure of the flips if he dug this jazz!!! LINKS | ||||

Cats and kitties, most royal swingin' Theatreheads, a treat for thee in the form of a reincarnation style riff. Last April Chicago's Prop Theatre presented Charles Pike's play "The Seven-Ply Gasser";. Now Prince Charles and the Prop, in association with Second City, have brought the opus straight and up to date and opening night for this sweet five cents worth of ink, renamed "The Return of the Hip Messiah", is slated for Nov. 12th. The play is directed by Second City veteran Aaron Freedman and features Richard Henzel reprising his role as His Lordship. Link up below, Daddy-o, to dig the scene Detail style LINKS | |
