June 2012, Patissia, AthensAnd you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends
And you just can't get served without her

And the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling
And the ashtrays have retired
Cause the piano has been drinking
Not me

March 2012, AthensZydrate comes in a little glass vial

And when the gun goes off,
it sparks and you're ready for surgery
~ "Zydrate Anatomy" from Repo! The Genetic Opera

A marble copy of a gold-and-ivory statue of the Classical period (5th-4th cent. BC), it represents a goddess, perhaps Aphrodite. The colour that has leaked below her eyes is probably a product of the oxidation of the statue's bronze eyelashes.
