Slog - Comments on No Afro Picks http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/no_afro_picks In the rush to catch a flight, I forgot my afro picks in Seattle. I've failed to find a shop that sells even one pick in Perugia. Rome might have picks, but it's over two hours away. I have not combed my hair in a week. It's been nappy everyday in Perugia....

Mexican food, American snacks, black hair care products. Of course in Florence there was also a black hair salon. There's a lot of Africans in Italy, no?

Maybe he should sue the country for not being sensitive to his hair needs? I'm sure there is American's with Disabilities Laws in Europe?

If not there should be.
