Mistigram: #RIPscrip vector illustration by Lady Blue of a poem by Cthulu, “walking to Benny’s late one Sunday evening”, from the long-delayed M-9808 artpack collection. The picture is great - the poem, a trifle, but it enshrines a local institution, the all-night Kitsilano cafe (enshrined, under a different name, in a ‘90s William Gibson novel) that figured so prominently as a 24/7 agora for Mist’s parallel TABNet community and the student body of Kitsilano secondary school, where I whiled away my weekdays dreaming of artpacks. Even 20 years ago, the poem points at demographic changes in the neighborhood culminating in its closure yesterday after 30 years in operation. https://ift.tt/2Fxk6dH
