Apothecary

Though not actually in a bathroom, this wall in Philadelphia's fantastic cocktail bar Apo is pretty rad. (Formerly Apothecary, the bar was forced to abbreviate since apparently it's illegal to call something Apothecary when it's not an actual pharmacy.)

I've always thought of this Paul Simon lyric as a tag line of sorts for this blog.

Perhaps this too.

I couldn't get a good picture of this, but here's what the green says:

I feel like ya'll are too well prepared w/ your paint pens to be much more than schizo-ego scribbles.

Well said. And a little hypocritcal, no?

There was one more great meta writing that I couldn't get a picture of that night:

No one cares about your graffiti.
Cheers, loser.

...and there's a heart around it.

Looking for meaning in comics

The great comic xkcd offers one answer to my central query.
