I don't know what to call this, but images like this seemed to be everywhere when I was growing up.

I can best describe it as being surreal, very colorful, and with some southwest influence.  I remember it being prominent right before the whole grunge aesthetic took over.  Please share examples and help me gush about something amorphous that has been lost in time.

Frankie Van Hooser (from The Koopas) just released an awesome album of surf VGM covers.  You should listen to it.  It's fucking FUN.

Hi all.  As I previously mentioned, I'm relocating from the Bay Area, CA to Pittsburgh, PA later this summer.  I'm starting to setup the actual planning, and am looking to nail down lodging for the trip.  I was thinking of just setting up Air BnBs at various places, but this is also a great opportunity for me to see some shizzies along the way!

So, here's the deal.  I'm leaving Santa Cruz on the morning of July 30, and am looking to arrive in Pittsburgh around August 3 or 4.  I'll be taking I-80 E, heading through northern Nevada, northern Utah, southern Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.  If anyone is along that route and would be willing to let me and a friend (driving buddy) stay the night, I would be very grateful, and would happily compensate you in some way (dinner? beer?)  

If you're interested, let me know where you are located and what your availability is and we can go from there.  Thank you in advance, and I'm hoping to get to see some folks that I don't normally get to see!

Here's a link to the route:

UPDATE:

There's been a change of plans and I'm taking the southern route.  I've pretty much got the whole trip covered now, but I really appreciate everyone's responses here!  THANK YOU ALL!!!
