Tom Waits High School Yearbook On Ebay

You see this a lot for teen stars, but 1966 celebrity yearbooks are a rarity on the auction site. I love how the description says, "It has 225 pages of great text and photos" as if the winning bidder is going to read the whole thing. (Via Boing Boing.)

You still have a few hours left to bid. Great last minute Valentine's gift for the Tom Waits fanatic in your life. And if he/she likes Law & Order too, here's your card.

Take the time to check out the whole Brandon Bird site... my favorite is his depiction of Bea Arthur wrestling a velociraptor.

Check out Napoleone's Pizza House on National City Blvd., there's a picture of him and the owner, Sal. In the jukebox is the album that references the place, The Heart Of Saturday Night.

I went to Sweetwater. My parents just bought Jimmy's, if you know it.

Only $280 - ? Shucks, I've got one of those books - - - Perfect shape - - - thought it would draw a lot more. It presently belongs to the Hoover Alumni Association.
