Matt - try South Union Arts (as long as you're not a straight-up rock band).

I do have a pair of sweat pants. They say DePaul on them and I wear them all the time but only around the house and to Jewel.

ALTHOUGH I must tell you that in college I had a huge crush on this obviously ballsy dude who would wear the same sweatpants and Public Enemy t-shirt to breakfast every single day. He swaggered mightily and didn't give a single goddamn shit what he was wearing. He was cute and I invited him (anonymously) to a party once. The story will end there.

If I spent that much time schlepping around the house to need eight pairs of house pants, why do I feel so stressed out, I ask you?

Maybe Beat Kitchen or Subterranean? I get the feeling that no one randomly checks out shows here at most bars, so it's hard to know where to play and get an audience.

Actually, I was wrong. I just walked past it. It's Golden Pacific. Golden Palace is... a casino?

And I may have already told you this, but I smoked those for about a year in high school because that is what my boyfriend smoked. Prior to dating him, I smoked the much more butch Salem Lights.

THAT WAS MY FIRST CIGARETTE, TOO. Srsly, I still get a nostalgic scent off of those. And erotic, even, because my first girlfriend smoked them.

I LUV that store. Cheap Srirachia sauce, fun stuff like Beef Blood, Pig Blood, and Beef Bile*, frozen pre-cooked sushi rice, and a lot of cheap everything Asian.

Highlights:-Filet, med-rare, topped with blue cheese-Mushrooms stuffed with spinach and manchego cheese-Roasted bacon-wrapped dates with an apple cider vinaigrette OMG, GOOD! I'm going to make these at home.
Also, tapas-sized desserts are the perfect size.
Cocktail of note: Rebujito- Dry sherry with sprite and fresh lemon. Unusual.

-He can't let his employees sell Girl Scout Cookies because if he allows 1 outside agency in, it opens the door for solicitation by unions.
-He has to do super-thorough background checks because the unions are always trying to come in and "infect his employees."
-[i]Work at Will laws are not nearly strong enough[/i], and leave an employer virtually powerless to fire an employee after 90 days except for in cases of exceptionally bad work, and then only after tons of warnings. One time he accidentally hired a union mole, and fortunately caught him within the first 90 days and was able to fire him.

That work at will stuff is just nonsense and makes me want to smack him around a little.

I think this started yesterday, when my mom emailed me this sad story. She thought she'd finally made a friend in her new city (she's been there a year). She's been going to see movies with this woman. Anyway, she had such a great time this weekend with her and they talked for a really long time after the movie. Then my mom is like, Hey! We should just have a movie night once a week! What do you say? And the lady was positive about it. Then the next morning, my mom got an email from her basically saying, yeah, the thing is I'm really busy and don't have time to spend with you...
I hate that lady. How can anyone not want to spend time with my mom? :-(
Anyway, it sort of started a little kindling for sadness in me, which this morning has fired up into a decent sized ball of rage. Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat... and so on.
xpost - oh yeah! Something to be glad about!

But Matt, if you're still on here, you can email me and I can send you some pointers on where/how to get shows (if you're not scared of me after my huge post just now).

Here is your feminist RAGE for the day. Do not read if you are already feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions about our big dumb world.
And mad hugglez to Sarah and her mom. I would go to the movies with your mom!
