Four Basic Disco Dance Rules

Excerpt from The Disco Handbook by Bruce Pollack, published in 1979:

1) Be prepared to sweat. It's only through hard work and repetition that your body will eventually come to accept it's new function.

2) Don't take it so seriously. If you think it'll be the end of the world if you don't learn how to dance, the pressure will kill you. It won't be the end of the world. It will only seem that way.

3) Don't take it too lightly, either. If all you want to do is clown around, you'll be undermining your purpose. You want to get out there and take part in the major entertainment form of the eighties. So wipe the grin off your face and concentrate. You can learn to dance.

4) Let the music take you. Forget about how foolish you may look and just move.

We Love Our Friends #2

Welcome back to We Love Our Friends, where we introduce you to awesome friends of ours. Up next - fine art photographer Jay Archibald!

Jay's photos are incredible psychedelic kaleidoscopic multiple-exposure masterpieces - check out his website to see more of his work. His twisted genius has inspired us for years, and he recently sat down w/ us for the following interview:

VV: What inspires you?
JA: My wife. Waking up in the morning. Reflections on water. Boobies. Trey. Great Wine. Haters. Hunter S. Thompson.

VV: Favorite original Nintendo game?
JA: I'm going w/ favorite over obscure - Super Mario Brothers.

VV: When did you get your first camera?
JA: When I was 16 I borrowed my dad's Olympus XA and took it to a dead show. The resulting photos turned out nice and a few years later I shot some photos using the same camera that ended up in the Pharmer's Almanac.

VV: What did you have for breakfast?
JA: Coffee bagel apple juice bubble-pollen

VV: Who was your hero at 10 years old?
JA: Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Maccio in the Karate Kid)

VV: Listen to any good music lately?
JA: Yes! People Under the Stairs (Stepfather and Fun D.M.C.)

VV: Automatic or manual?
JA: Manual until I'm too old to care.

VV: Favorite VV shirt?
JA: That is the deepest question yet. Sometimes I like to go old school with the classic "Tijuana, City of Tomorrow." Sometimes, however, it's my favorite vintage shirts from you guys that really shine. I once wore my smooth as silk vintage "If I can't dance I don't want to be a part of your revolution" shirt and 4 ladies bought me drinks in 1 NIGHT! It may have been the perm, or the stache, but if you ask me, it's a men's medium from VV.
