A.K.A. THE QUEEN OF VHS

Hi, I'm Lindsay Washburn.

I grew up in a house where the VCR was always on. Saturday mornings were rentals from the corner store, and every long car trip ended with a tape I begged my parents for. Somewhere along the way I never stopped buying them.

Queen of VHS is my ongoing love letter to the format: the tracking lines, the clamshell cases, the weird trailer reels, and the movies too small to make it to streaming.

It's a little spooky, a little silly, and a lot nostalgic. Thanks for hanging out. And please - rewind before you return.
