The Donnybrook Writing Academy

Centuries ago, Academy writers fine-tuned the art of leisure in all its manifestations–opium haze lounging, harem collecting, scrapbooking.Here they pass that knowledge onto you; the result is a highly-polished calendar of events called The Problem of Leisure.

Ohhhh, sigh. Angora Holly Polo here, taking a break from my poolside position. So most of the Donnybrookites are on vacation right now, lounging beachside, so I’m going to make this week’s PoL quick. There are really only a couple things you need to know:

Rbt. B. Rutherford: Patriotism. Location=America.

I’m going to stand in a line with my manpals, each of us with our hands on the shoulders of the dude in front of us while we kick each other in the balls in 4/4 time and recite the lineup of the 1957 new york yankees. then we’re gonna find something to chug and blow up some cats.

Guido Sarducci IV: The Mae Shi at Rhinoceropolis.

As they put it on their myspace page, if you’ve missed this band in the past, you have missed out on “four records and 250 shows of busted electronics, spazzier-than-fuck drums, crazy-ass boogie guitar, distorted caveman bass and throat-destroying vocals… playing in 100 different basements and garages to 100s of different kids… debut full-length, Terrorbird, which was a hyper ADD-afflicted hip-hop concept album about monsters and the Old Testament… six different home-screened t-shirt designs and [a] 2004 mix tape, which collected [their] favorite 1200 songs in under 80 minutes.” In other words, this band will fit right in at the oft-under-appreciated Rhinoceropolis warehouse.

Dr. Liebnitz Osgood: The High Strung at the Oriental Theater.

The solution to your ‘problem of leisure’ this Saturday night is …

Rbt. B. Rutherford: Super Fresh Block Party at the Fabric Lab.

the fabric lab will be hosting the Super Fresh Block Party, which will feature barbecue, a bikini car wash to benefit Iowa flood victims, a fashion show with sixty of the ass-whompinest Denver Roller Dolls, and Magic Motherfucking Cyclops. There will be Pabst. 6 to midnight at the 3100 block of East Colfax. Here’s to hoping they have barbecued cupcakes.

Angora Holly Polo: Booze!

Chug-a-lug. That’s right, on Sunday we’ll be celebrating a statewide holiday here in Colorado: the first Sunday that we can buy booze!!! Lushes will unite in celebration! Liquor store owners will kiss their only day off goodbye! And the Lord, who normally taketh away, will truly see how it feels when the Sabbath is taken from the holy and claimed by the boozey. Sláinte! Chin-chin! La Hiem!

This has been a broadcast of the Problem of Leisure. Now go blow stuff up!
