Open Thread: Alice’s Restaurant
It’s a Thanksgiving tradition in my family to dust off the Alice’s Restaurant record and give it a listen.
Please enjoy this extended version of Arlo Guthire’s awesome song and have a great Thanksgiving.

I know we have a number of ASL speakers here, including several interpreters for the deaf. This will interest you, or anyone with ASL experience:

Happy week after Thanksgiving to all!
We should send out a search party for AKM, to make sure she wasn’t eaten by Chapter 3.
Damn skippy! beth.
(And we need that ol’ “Like” button back.)
Heartbreaking film: http://www.zengardner.com/invisible-nation/#comment-41835 called Invisible Nation, about the Algonquin. Repeated ad nauseum with many, many tribes.
All right you devils. I am sick of eating stir fry beef and noodles,my new Thanksgiving tradition I started just yesterday. Now you are all gonna pay for it. At least my beloved Hawkeyes won their ball game today. Just you wait. 🙂
i don’t want a pickle,
Do you want to ride on your motorcycle?
I played this for my son when he was in high school. He had a whole new appreciation for me after that – seemed to realize that before I was his mom, I was a real person!
You know, I have heard that you can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant.
… except Alice. Speaking of restaurants, my neighbor/friend and I ate our Thanksgivukkah meal at Angelica Kitchen, an east village stalwart. After several years of being the only vegan at the table (when I accompanied the ex to family dinner, and brought all my own food), it was great to spend a couple hours in an organic vegan restaurant, sharing a terrific meal and a great bottle of wine (I brought a cranberry-honey wine from California). I brought home 2/3 of my salad, 1/3 of my main, and most of the dessert. All of it was terrific. Here’s the menu, should you want a peek: http://angelicakitchen.com/pdf/menus/thanksgiving2013flyer.pdf
Health and peace. I’m grateful for The Mudflats.
Hmm, you know I used to live 2 blocks away from Angelica and never went once – one of those places that my friends and I always said “Oh, we should go there…” and then continued on to the amazing Italian restaurant 4 blocks south, or the pub 2 blocks south or the mac and cheese place a block east…
Ok… now I’m really really missing the East Village.
We miss you, Zach. However, you’re doing great things in AK. If there’s anything you need from the EV, let me know; the post office is three blocks away.
I’d sing that refrain with my wife’s name instead of Alice, everytime I watched her cook up a separate entree for the daughters because they are finicky eaters, and didn’t want to eat what she had prepared for dinner… spoiled kids !! needless to say, I had my “Man Shield” up to deflect the lightening bolts from her eyes as I sang….. 🙂
Haven’t heard that in a long time. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
L.O.V.E. that you posted this… just love it.
