There's something about those big round western nouveau serifs on the initial caps that I can't put my finger on.

These are the three WWWF/WWF cards that happened at Shea, all between 1972 and 1980.

The 1980 one can be seen in its entirety, if one so desired.
Only snippets apparently remain of the first two.

Remember that guy who posted all those wrestling threads? Goodness, those were hilarious.


There is a wrestling fan with supposed "connections" to the writing staff of the WWE on Reddit that will often spoil results of major events, or post "leaked information" with "MetsFan" as part of his/her handle...MAYBE ITS THE SAME GUY!?

LOL!

There's also this:



Not quite as nouveau but big long curves in the serifs.

There's something else that I can't put my finger on - something from the 70's, that I know this was directly derived from...

They cancelled their European tour dates due to Grohl's broken leg and surgery. This post right here was the first indication I've seen of any impact on the American dates.

I've frankly forgotten. Something I saw on the social media. Maybe I just drew a hasty inference.

I apologize if I've created un-necessary anxiety.

Foo Fighters reaffirmed that their North American tour dates are going forward as scheduled.

Not surprising that they added Grohl to the roster ... y'know, cuz he comes to them pre-injured.

What I can't figure out is how they got Grohl to agree to a publicity shot. He's usually so camera-shy.

Had a mild hard attack. My husband and I were wondering what ever happened to Vickie Guerrero and she's newly engaged to Kris Benson. A different one though.
