Mission Mission

The Lab, that place you never think about (oh yeah, that place!) on 16th and Capp, is hosting two awesome events this weekend:

First, Friday night!  Mi Ami party!  Dudes are putting out a new 12″.  The evening will also feature bearded boy wonder Tristes Tropiques.  Flyer below, but don’t stare too long; Magic Eye don’t work if you’re not relaxed.

Second, Saturday night!  A live Tetris Tournament!  They’re gonna project that shit on a wall and name a winner by the end of the night.  Music by Microfiche, White Cloud, and Middle D.

Below, a classic Tetris conundrum.  I leave it to you, reader, to solve.  See if you can figure out what to do with that next piece (hint: Zepler doubling isn’t the answer).

Okay, talk to you guys later!

In researching last week’s Shannon Wheeler story, I came across an interview at The Wright Opinion in which this strip was featured. It’s funny because it’s true. Blogging is like Tetris. Now, when I’m out and about in the world, instead of seeing falling Tetris blocks everywhere I look, I see blog categories, blog headlines, blog tags, etc. Does this mean that, like with Tetris, I’ll be tired of this in a few months?
