Zappa.com

I was driving home with my wife and kids after having visited my mother and I noticed a picture of Zappa out of the corner of my eye. It was actually amongst a collection of pictures on a billboard associated with the local council of Charles Sturt. They have several billboards around and about the Charles Sturt council area and was really surprised to see FZ on one of them. The original pic here was badly focussed, and I've finally got a better one. Maybe other members here have similar examples from their home towns. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia.

In my dirty old hometown, someone started a bar called "Zappa's". Looked a bit like this



Bar went bust pretty fast...

Just bumping this because I finally got a good quality picture of the billboard I found with FZ on it. Check out the opening post above.

Cool. The stuff on the bottom looks like a DNA microarray...

I took this photo today. The Grande Mothers are coming to town.

I love the Grandmothers, but they sort of water down the message when they sell their stuff by iconic Zappa images that have nothing to do with the spirit of the original MoI. Have a nice show, though!

On first sight!

and on second one too.



Then I switched on back to the main page and the next thing's been a shout from the captain, "Ay." Because it's being hanging there sort of right in front of me, scilicet, with other words namely a) that poster draws the most attraction I'd wager, so super for spreading the news the circus is in town and b) and now listen peoples and Pe, it is all up for us to refresh the spirit of the MoI, those times and whatnot. Make space for more trippin's so to say. Most of all do tell us your ideas oh pleasure-tyes. Me for example have tried and applied all, fun and wonder, science and knowledge, emotions, free choice and very nice comments. Now you, we is completely listening organs and curious. Please give a few clues to what they think is hilariously wise, entertaining and then some. ...methinks it might be hiding in the kind of tone in what we are speaking, and enough insight, energy and freak will. What yer think oy?-) ...who listens to Quadrophenia then..

A while ago (in the 80's) when I was working in a cheesy printing company I printed some thumbnail size stickers, about 500 in all of the Baby Snakes face. Then on the weekend me and a couple of mates went on a pub crawl that ended up at King's Cross in Sydney, our mission for the night was to stick'em and we went through most of them, it was a great night!. We scored some speed at the Cross and found our way home like Hansel and Gretal following Frank till we got home. Fuck that would be cool to start something like that, get all the willing Zappa Freaks across the globe to graffiti there home town, take pictures and photo's and stick on the net. The Frank Zappa Memorial Graffiti BBQ, bring your own source.

Not my home town, but some graffiti on a disused bridge in Nottinghamshire in the UK.

There's an FZ mural on the side of a building in Tucson, Arizona. The guy's got staying power, that's for sure!

I was thinking of loaning an FZ cassette to someone from my hometown.
