The Bollard Bulletin: November 19, 2024

Cartoon Tuesday: Three freaks and a two-headed baby walk into a Rockland bar...

Good morning, friends! As you may recall, when we last left Bollardhead, he was shaken (and stirred) by the discovery of a two-bollardheaded baby in a Rockland dumpster and needed some booze to calm his nerves. If you think this won’t end well, you’re probably right. Alcohol is seldom the answer.

Three-quarters of the super-fun indie rock band Lean Meats, who headline at Geno’s tonight. (Not pictured: inflatable tube dude somehow perfectly rocking out to the beat even though he’s just a tall tube with eyes attached to a high-powered fan)
