      Sounds really dubious. I hope "audition" isn't a euphemism! It reminds me of this quote from Stephen Fry from an episode of the BBC Radio 4 panel game Just A Minute:
      "There's a very sweet story of Alan Bennett who was walking in the Heath, taking notes, thinking, you know, composing his plays and so on. And someone came up to him and said 'have you got a light?' And he said 'no I don't smoke'. And the fellow went 'oh okay' and looked at him and walked away. And then Alan suddenly realised he'd been propositioned so he called after him 'but thank you!'"

I'll still have friends and we'll hang out just as casually as this and seeing new purchases as time stamps. Also I love how Tom jams to Manz not Hot and how Matt said "I..am and 'adult' now so I can buy things!". This is like grown up version of Mister Rogers Neighborhood to me.

      Yup, it comes from the curtain being opened each time for continued applause, operated by a leg sidestage. The idea is that the audience will be clapping for so long, they'll have to open the curtains for an extra bow so many times that you'll break the leg.
      I heard a french way to say break a leg is 'merde', because horses and carriages used to wait for theatre patrons to leave. If they were clapping for a long time, the horses would be waiting for longer, and there would be more merde on the street when it's all over :)

    I had a Polaroid Instamatic camera that sounds very similar to the one Tom described, also given to me for my birthday, back when digital cameras weren't a thing. I used mine more than he did, though, because I became the official photographer for family events, so I could get my parents to pay for the film. I discovered fairly early on that the shutter button is actually two buttons in one: One enables the flash, and one actually triggers the shutter. So, you *can* take a picture without the flash by just using the back half of the button.

    I never new the name of those things.
    If they're disposable watch out the anti plastic movement though

    Amazingly well framed considering how it was taken. Still has the novelty factor it always has but I have enough clutter without random pictures lying around too.

    so much money for such a low resolution... one would think they'd have reached the quality of standard photofilms by now

    Oh, I'm not sure if Matt ran into them in his research, but they also make digital cameras with dyesub printers built-in. So you get the Polaroid experience, but you get to choose which ones to actually print. Roughly the same price point as what he picked up.

    They also make a digital one so you don’t have to print every time

    Next Matt will be going with Chris Marquardt on a trip, taking along a small large format camera, a light meter and a large tripod.
