Where was I all summer? Ha, I wish I could say I was doing exciting things, well…let’s just say I was off doing sidequests. Honestly though, Nirvana fall kinda hits. Plus, I had to come back before Halloween because of Live at the Paramount!

Site Updates

One of the only things I did on the main site over the past several months is separate the site into pages. I’m actually not happy with the way the site is structured right now (it makes me less likely to add more content), but I need some time to work on a revision so the site will be put on an official hiatus. For now I will be posting here, status cafe and tumblr.

Well, you should be looking at the new pencapchew.blog domain and layout! I hadn’t planned for this to be separate from the main site but I got carried away thinking about it and trying different things and arrived here. I redid my status cafe (which is also included on this site) a couple of months ago which is what informed this layout while still tying it to the main site theme. I’m still looking for a good handwritten font for the entries so any suggestions are welcome.

Kurt/Nirvana News

As I mentioned on status cafe, the Nirvana exhibit at MoPOP in Seattle closed on the 7th of September. Here is a good video of what the exhibit looked like 3 months after it opened in 2011. Meanwhile, The Royal College of Music museum has their Kurt Cobain Unplugged exhibit up until the 18th of November. I posted about it when it opened and have seen a number of posts on r/Nirvana of people visiting.

Also, this past week there have been newly surfaced clips of the infamous bathroom interview in 1991. Check them out here and here. Earlier this year this interview that took place the day before the Paramount show also got posted.

Other Stuff

Speaking of tumblr, I have actually been a bit active on there. I am focused on posting and reblogging less common pictures (plus anything new that gets posted- I have my sources), fanart, magazine and fanzine scans, plus any more gifsets that I make. I do plan on making montage-style gifs at some point.

Over the past two years I’ve shockingly seen a good chunk of photos relating to Nirvana, thanks to LiveNirvana (seriously, what would we do without them), Tumblr, Pinterest and various Instagram accounts. Right now I’m really loving kurtcapsule for all of their magazine scans.

That’s all for now. I do have a post coming up that I’m pretty excited about so look forward to that.

Peace, love, empathy
