The Welsh rap video with the badminton players got me thinking about Squash clubs. I don't play squash and probably never will, but I've been in a bunch of fancy racket clubs, usually for strange reasons, and I'm pretty sure squash is hip hop. Back in Montreal, one afternoon I met a guy to check some thrift stores in the east end. Dude was a disco collector and all slovenly in the way that budding crazy record men usually are. When we started driving in his rust heap that gave a good view of the road beneath your feet, instead of going directly to the thrifts he took me to Westmount's (posh neighbourhood) premier racquet club where, he informed me, we had to watch his family play in a Squash tournament. I recall lots of wood panelling, cognitive dissonance over the fact I expected to be in a thrift store and instead found myself in a Montreal bastion of WASP culture, and incredibly cute girls who knitted while their beaus competed in the court. There was an open buffet, which was tasty. We found no records that afternoon.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been eating a lot of butternut and acorn squash recently and it's a good year for them. I'll hook you up if you come by these parts.
