But We’re Even Bigger in Vienna

Junkyard Clubhouse gets a mention in The Guardian

They love us in the UK! Well, at least someone who was charged with finding stuffing for a sidebar in a weekend filler part of a newspaper in the UK found us a little amusing. Big thanks to Mr. Bali Hai of Eye of the Goof for both letting us know that we got a mention in this past weekend’s Guardian, and sending us a copy of the scanned page.

We feel like we could take on all foes, including those who are well-dressed and gaze vaguely threateningly from behind a shiny table. A bunch of the other blogs who got mentioned are also favorites of ours, making us feel extra-fancy for being included in such a group. Congrats to Dusty Sevens, Eye of the Goof, Branded in the 80s, The World of Kane (who is the fellow who scanned the article for us continentally-challenged folks — thank you!), The Booberry Alarm Clock and Swapatorium.

    Looks like the Guardian Online skipped over the April 28th entry and went right to this weekend’s…:-(

    We should write a very stern letter to the editor, demanding our 15 minutes of virtual fame!

    You got quoted in the L.A. Times too:

    “Hilton officials, however, seemed determined to close the
    original Vic’s, “under cover of night, with an utter lack of pomp,”
    wrote a blogger who goes by the name Humuhumu. “Trader Vic’s deserved a
    full state funeral and a raging wake. Instead it was buried in a
    cardboard box under an unmarked grave.”"
