Clothing Liberation - cover (detail - afro and wild suit)

I think I've found a use for that dark brown corduroy jacket. There's a 1970s costume contest at a convention in three weeks. If I can piece together a hideous crazy-quilt of fabrics before next Friday, I could make a 1970s-style DIY necktie that would probably win it.

Current Mood: creative

Well, I still have to replace two screws I omitted in my haste to pick Jodi up, I still have to get the finicky cd-storage mechanism under the radio to work, and I still have to screw the negative battery contact back on tightly, but the stereo works.

I'll be writing an illustrated guide for posterity soon. I've been taking photos throughout the process.

I replaced my own stereo! Go me!
