Poster of the Quadriennium

leap_year_poster.jpg

I don’t know these bands and I don’t really care if they suck or not, but this is an awesome poster. First off, it has a retro Rock-poster design with a kitten right in the middle of it. Rock-kittens are awesome. But more important, it’s a Leap Year poster. Or, I should say, it’s a Leap Day poster.

The show falls on the quadrillennial February 29th, this Friday. It’s been 16 years since Leap Day fell on a Friday or Saturday, back in 1992. The next time will be in 2020. Traditionally, women were allowed to propose to their gents on Leap Day. But such a numerically auspicious day should have some sort of modern ritual associated with it, ideally one that involves leaping.

It is a cool poster - reminds me of old style 70s ones I've seen displayed.

It just occurred to me that since this is a leap year and I'm salaried, I'm working an extra day this year that I'm not getting paid for. FUCK!

I propose a new ritual: women get to proposition the man of their choice on Leap Day. Indecent propositions included.

Geni @5:

Good women get to proposition the men of their choice every day.

Word, @6.

But they get to propose to them on Leap Day.

Although, frankly, I don't see why they have to wait that long.

graphics remind me of a Che poster from Cuba circa 1978, same red and blue radiating lines.
