The Arbiter of Taste has spoken.

Notice how I'm keeping it brief today.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

xp I'd like to hear that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not noodly like STEVE VAI or whatever -- just, well, nevermind. Maybe noodly isn't the right word. May you all be soothed. I'm outta here.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I've wanted to hear the Disintegration Loops for a while now, too.

"Meditative" is probably the word I want.

One of my coworkers just asked if I'd be passing by any mailboxes after work to mail her personal bill. I just stared at her. I mean, sure, I'll be riding around in the car to go to the grocery store, but how is it any easier for me to find a mailbox for her mail? Riddle me that, batman.

I'm pumped for grocery shopping. FOOD!

Btw, if anyone's bored tonight, CANOOOOSTA* is playing The Note at approx. 9:30 PM.

*what we're called by this gentleman: http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:AEIHxTvvogGdaM:http://www.chicagoundergroundcomedy.com/images/comics/rb_md.jpg

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of doubt I'll be there, but I'm really curious to hear how it goes. We had a show at the Note fall through (or did we turn it down? hmm... no, the other band cancelled their tour) but I've noticed lots of bigger (hey! 'Nasta!) bands playing there lately.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Br1an Peters0n started booking there.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Is he mpsh0wz?

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha. I just got a myspace event for another show at the note this week.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Yes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I only say I doubt it because it's a school night (haha) and Nick has been feeling sick and sleepy all day, but Mmaaaaayyybbbeee. Also, I like B0und Stems alot. I hadn't heard of the middle band. I just don't want to get your hopes up because I am often crushed when people say they're coming to my shows and then don't, you know?

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry, Sarah. I have done that to you a lot.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Yes. I was just bringing it up to fulfill my promo obligations, so do what you need to do. :)

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Um, go Blue?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, ya'll. Less for me because I'll be at the library until 9 pm or so and can just take a bus without worrying about traffic or whatever but still. What a flipping mess.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm taking the Blue Line to Damen. Haven't decided yet whether I'm going to dine at Earwax or Sultan's for din-din.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Really, come to think of it, the Blue line is the only train that's NOT going to be affected. This is going to be a cluster fuck!

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah aside from maybe some extra people in Clark/Lake... the Jackson St. transfer will be a bitch, too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

This sucks a big one.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish I didn't have to study. I would advocate a spontaneous Thirsty Tuesday to kill time while the CTA sorts this shit out.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'll trot up to Mich Ave and jump on one of the express busses that stops at the Berwyn station. I think if I'm not mistaken that I can get on the 144, 146, or 147.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi guys!

I'm coming to Chicago between XMAS and New Year's.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Alright! I have the whole week off. We'll spend every minute together, I'm sure.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll be in town Dec. 22 - 24

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

WELL Jeff and I will be out of town from 12/22 - 12/26. Imagine that.

Jon Williams, I'll hang out with you.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay Jon! I have missed you the last couple times I've been in NYC.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I would be a fool not to meet Jon Williams.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to meet Jess, too. His girlfriend just moved here.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know if I will be here, but I probably will be. Thirsty Thursday Holiday Edition in fuckin' full effect.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i just bought a ticket that will have me back in chicago jan 19th - 24th and then on to NYC for a few days.

― grady (grady), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 23:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only handle one cat at a time, I have decided. Maybe if I got two kittens at the same time, the dynamics would be different, but Jessa's cat and mine are not getting along well at all. And they even lived together for YEARS. That's irrelevant, it seems -- it's all about territory. My kitty is terrorizing Jessa's kitty. Her territory is marked, and the hissing and snarling begin every time she sees the other cat walking in her path. Most of the time, Jessa's cat sits on top on the kitchen cabinets, which is a fine high perch for a cat, but only today did I realize that she's sitting up there because she's scared of a cat who has already marked all the other territory in the apartment. This is *exactly* the way Jesse's (not Jessa's) behaved when I brought my cat in. At the time I blamed Jesse's cat, because I didn't know any better, I guess. And sure, my cay was being victimized somewhat. But that's just what cats do.

My cat is locked in the bedroom, and Jessa's cat has suddenly decided to eat, shit, and let me pet her for the first time since she got here. This does not bode well for the next month. UNLESS, maybe, Jessa's cat can mark enough territory while my cat is locked away that they'll have some equal ground. I'm going to leave her in there until bed tonight and see if this helps the situation any.

My shoulder kind of hurts from Wii Tennis. But Wii Tennis is REALLY FUN.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 04:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I should be in bed but I have to shower first...and that seems like too much work. So I'm just sitting here, instead.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 04:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh god I feel like shit. So tired, sneezy, achy and my feet hurt. And I have an ingrown toenail. And I need a haircut.

Kenan, you should let Brenda come over for a while and see what that yields.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 06:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, you should let Brenda come over for a while and see what that yields.

Really, thanks, but I can't imagine that would help.

Oh shit you have to hook me up.

Who do you know? Would he like me? Would he sell me weed?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 06:15 (seventeen years ago) link

COULD I BE ANY MORE OBNOXIOUS?

ok, bed.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 06:21 (seventeen years ago) link

speaking of new year's does anyone have any concrete plans? i know jeff was talking about some show (at the bottle maybe?) but anyone have any set in stone plans?

last year i went to a party with a bunch of early 20 somethings in suits and wound up leaving before midnight when my date's sinus meds made her loopy after her 3rd drink. the year before that me and jen sat in our apartment in bitter silence as we'd broken up days before but were still living together. i'd like to have fun this year for a change.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

So, I was watching Capote before falling asleep and then I dreamed I was hanging out with Nick, Sarah, and I think Dan at the Green M1ll. This dude was annoying Sarah but she was packing heat and decided to SHOOT him (in cold blood). She also skinned her elbow but we managed to get out of there before the cops showed up and rendezvous at some other bar. Then we were all on the lam Franke Machine-style and some other stuff happened and I woke.

Honestly, kinda disturbing.

― J-Co, Wednesday, 29 November 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

the next time i'm heading south on ashland i'm totally going to take a detour to ashland & maypole and see if there is a bar or a building that may have once house a club like the one frankie took refuge in while on the lam.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, that makes me love Sarah. I will just pretend she actually carries, and enjoy the dissonance.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

That's just awesome.

Nick and I were watching Big Love last night on dvd, and there's this scene where a little girl is in her living room at night and turns on the porch light and a creepy dude is standing RIGHT THERE. Anyway, of course that gave me nightmares because everything does. So I had one in which people kept breaking in the windows to our apartment like zombies, except really tall and strong zombies. It was not fun. I didn't shoot anyone, but I think I tried to punch them to no avail.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Shoot their heads off next time!

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, Laurel. I'll just think about guns as I fall asleep every night to remind myself.

Nickelbags & I will be out of town 12/22-12/30, but ready to party after that.

Otto, I don't have any plans for New Years yet. Last year, we played a show at the Icefac0rial which was a blast, but we haven't been invited to play any new years shows this go-round. What to do? What to do? I like getting dressed up but don't have much mula for party cover charges.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 29 November 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i had a dream that i was on the el going through the loop. it was a crowded train and i couldn't get to the doors in time at my stop so i rode the train around the loop and everytime i tried to get where i was going something would block me. it was frustrating.

more manifestations of unattainable goals.
