Hi! This is super random but I’m looking to see if you have a picture of the hand stamp you use to use at Zaphod’s around 2005? I basically spent my 20’s at Zaphod’s and when I moved from the city I asked the door guy to stamp a piece of paper for me with the intention of getting it tattooed at some point. Lots of great memories at your place. I carried that piece of paper in my wallet for the last 20 years until I noticed it was missing this past week during a trip back to Ottawa. I searched the internet and couldn’t find anything. Hoping u can help but totally understand it’s a wild ask. Thanks for all the great times and memories! That was one hell of a place ♥️

Bebe The Circus queen had a stroke 10 days ago. She came home yesterday. She is moving and talking slow. We think she will be back to normal in a few months. My first memories of Trent Reznor are that when he was told about someone who is struggling, he would call or write them. Bebe really needs her spirits lifted. Thanks TR and to everyone who responds to this message

“He had rather liked Zaphod Beeblebrox in a strange sort of way. He was clearly a man of many quallities, even if they were mostly bad ones.” ― Douglas Adams.

“In the end, it was the Sunday afternoons he couldn’t cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in about 2:55, when you know you’ve taken all the baths that you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o’clock, and you will enter the long dark teatime of the soul.” ― Douglas Adams.
