Guess To The Future

In Back To The Future II before Doc went back to 1985 to disrupt Marty’s Saturday with Jennifer, Doc had gone ahead to October 22, 2015 (and presumably beyond) to see what would be the fate of Marty and Jennifer’s (“Bring her along, this concerns her too.” – Doc) future kids.

Two years before that 2015 it’s safe to say Marty wasn’t sitting on his computer taking pictures slightly mimicking his 17 year old look. Which is what I’ve been doing this morning. I was really looking forward to yesterday because of the Guess jacket. Unfortunately something I ate or drank at lunch hurt my stomach. When the jacket didn’t quite fit, (“Size adjusting…”) I knew that was part of the reason. I still wanted to wear the shirts, jacket, vest, and mirrored sun glasses.

I also wanted to write at least a little about the jacket. I figured I’d be feeling better by today. I could try the jacket on today and get better self taking photos (thanks iMac web cam!) to write and share on iRichard Roy today. Besides feeling better the jacket fit slightly better. It’s still a slim fit and unless I move somewhat into the Guess universe I won’t always button it.

Take A Guess

In the “in universe” that is Back To The Future, October 21 is important because after Doc Brown learns about older Marty and his family, he decides Marty (who was back in 1985) and him could prevent an event that will send Marty’s future kids to jail for years to come. If it wasn’t in part because Marty saved Doc from the Libyans and for the life future Marty seemed destined to have, Doc Brown probably would have let future history unfold. Doc, Marty, and Jennifer (who was originally around because she was in the scene in the original) travel to October 21, 2015.

Once in the future Hill Valley town square with Doc off in a flying DeLorean (to presumably just pick up Einstein from a suspended animation kennel) Marty decides to explore the future. The environmental friendly future won’t hurt the dynamics of time travel which Marty can’t yet fathom. Before continuing the “mission” into the Cafe ’80s Marty visits the kind of antique store most of us would visit. Called Blast From The Past the window displays obvious (yet raises more questions) items such as a JVC camcorder and Marty’s Guess? two toned denim jacket with Art In Revolution pin. There are also inside items such as a Jaws video game and a Who Framed Roger Rabbit plush.

I bought a light wash denim hooded (removable) Guess jacket I like from Guess’ outlet eBay store on Columbus Day evening. Even with being an outlet price, it was on sale, saving me $18. I chose USPS with free shipping and may have it before or on Monday, October 21. I’ll update iRichard Roy when I have the jacket.

Back To The Near Pinheads

Major pin updates this week! First, the BC Rich Warlock Blue Electric guitar pin arrived from Seismic Music. I’m not totally sure I’ve seen a real BC Rich Warlock in person. I’ve seen guitars shaped like one. So I can’t vouch for every detail. This pin seems pretty detailed, even includes a small R on the Head. Something I hadn’t noticed when I was looking at guitar pins on their site. I know the pic is slightly crooked, it’s a little hard to scan the plastic/cardboard packaging. With the angle of the guitar pin, I like it.

Also included in the shipment were my classic Fender Green guitar picks that remind me of Kryptonite. This was more of a “fun” thing to have. Yeah, Marty played guitar at his “Battle Of The Bands” with his garage band, The Pinheads. Before they could barely get into the power love song they wrote, they were forced to stop because they were “too darn loud.” In case you didn’t know Huey Lewis played the “square administrator” who was told the same thing. Besides having hit songs from BTTF and probably being very loud, he once sued Ray Parker Jr. Huey or his label alleged that the more arguably popular “Ghostbusters” sounds too much like “I Want A New Drug.” The case is sorta legendary in the music business.
