Is it just Florida, or do campaign ads for Governor in other states feel like sketches from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! or I Think You Should Leave?
Why this photo?
Because the accordionist pictured above, who could easily be a stunt double for my father-in-law, is none other than Krist Novoselic, the former bassist for Nirvana, performing two years ago.
Here he is in 2023 with Geddy Lee (I would love to hang out and jam with Geddy — and hey, Krist too!):
Another pic of Krist:
By the way, it pleases me to no end that a member of Nirvana has embraced the accordion. I’m glad to be in good company.
I haven’t seen a photo of him in several years, so until today, if you mentioned his name, this picture would come to my mind:
But we all get older. In 1992, the year the photo above of young Krist was taken, this photo of young me (and the band I was in, The Dangerous Kitchen) was also taken, and I certainly don’t look like that anymore:
Here’s to getting older. It beats the alternative!
The Sourdough Co. in St. Pete has some pretty nice digs now in St. Pete’s EDGE District, but their upgrade is going to be impressive. They’re moving to the Union Trust Bank building at 895 Central, which will give them an impressive storefront:
This is a big step up: the building has three levels with a mezzanine and basement (basements are rare here) for nearly 11,000 square feet of floor space.
And yes, it has one of those classic bank vaults!
The building’s been empty for three decades, having been saved a number of times from demolition by its place as a historic building and community efforts.
It’ll take a while to get the place set up, and in the meantime, they’ll remain in their current location (1113 Central). I look forward to having one of their Flamin’ Hot chicken sandwiches in the vault room.

It’s Sunday, and it’s time for another “picdump!” Here are the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating around the internet that I found interesting or relevant this week. Share and enjoy!
It’s short notice, but I got the call to play on short notice too!
I’ll be joining Tom Hood, playing good ol’ classic rock and folk tunes — him on ukulele, me on accordion, plus various other musicians — at The Honu, a fantastic tiki bar in Dunedin at 2:30 p.m.!
My plan is to show up at least an hour or more before the show to get a loco moco and an ube colada.
If you’re in the area, drop by, say hi, have a drink or some food and enjoy some tunes!
