176 N Union Plaid Plea

If anyone out there knows who actually belongs to this couch, please
tell them to remove it at once so that the nice people at #176 don't
get fined. Thank You.

Hardly voyeurism, but plaid none the less. Thanks Dale, you're a good
sport.

Start Wearing Plaid!

Backstage at the Gogol Bordello show at Higher Ground on Sunday, a die hard groupie catches his breath and phones a friend from the plaid couch in the girls dressing room after successfully breaching multiple security checkpoints.

Long time, no plaid.

Dear Readers,
As you may have noticed, the once swift and steady current of plaid posts has dwindled to all but a trickle this past spring. No, (and unfortunately) we have not discovered a way to re-freeze the melting glaciers, we (The PVP Executive Search Committee) have been on a Tour of Surveylance in several regions of the UK, scouting plaid frequencies in London and and throughout the English countryside. We apologize for being completely out to lunch (and dinner, tea, and traditional Engilsh breakfast) but we can assure you, read readers, that our online absence was not out of neglect, but with the desire to break down and reconfigure the fundamental mission of PVP, as well as reassess, update and improve reconnaissance tactics to enable and empower plaid voyeurs for generations to come. Over many fabulous meals, discussion of collected data has revealed the preliminary diagnostics of our study have lead us to believe that there might be considerable reason to open a European branch of operations to more accurately measure the impact of buffalo plaid on foreign soil. There is some speculation that a significant increase in plaid overseas might have some correlation with both US/UK credit crunch attitudes towards fashion. Of course, it is too early in the game to say for sure, but with careful examination of complied statistics, we will be more adequately equipt to to take a more public stance on the issues facing us today. We are in the finishing stages of our study and promise to be back in the office by early next week. See you soon!
Sincerely, PVP Executive Search Committee.

This is textbook Plaid Voyeurism.

POT LUCK PLAID

When faced with the inevitable spillage red wine that goes hand in hand with any pot luck, always to follow is the heated debate surrounding methods of stain removal, Oxi-Clean vs. seltzer and salt vs.baking soda vs. cold / scalding hot water methods were literally thrown on the table, which happened to be dressed in smart blue and white buffalo plaid.

On Tour in Plaid with Johnny and the Roccos

Edith, the singer from The Diamonds wore plaid when they played the Victoria Hotel in Hawick, Scotland, On tour with Johnny and the Roccos in 1961.

It all started in the Fifties: when Elvis Presley was on the top of his early career, a handful of young boys started doing exactly the same that de did... they played Rock'n'Roll music. When they turned professional in 1972 and the band was renamed Johnny and the Roccos, the first steps towards a successful career in the music business were already taken and they had 15 years of experience yet.
Since the late 70's Johnny and the Roccos have been working together with a great number of American artists. The pictures shown here shall give you a small overview from the early days until today. Endless tours have since taken them all across Europe and to the USA.
