The library's christmas party isthis evening.
There will be an open bar,but I am driving.
It will be scary but also, perhaps,filled with good cheer.

The new Russian Circles album is fantastic, but I don't really get to talk about it in any metal threads because there is so much kneejerk hatred for any metal bands that incorporate anything with even a whiff of "post-rock" in it.

Oh, so I might like it then?
I think you might, actually.

Check out either Station or the new one, Empros.
I think I have been confusing them for a long time with Russian Futurists.
― dyao think i'm sexy (jaymc), Friday, 2 December 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link
Actually I did too for the longest time. I got sent a promo for Station back when I was writing for Metal Edge and ignored it for the longest time because I wasn't a huge fan of the Futurists beyond "Paul Simon".

Looking west on Argyle at the intersection with Sheridan. I've been looking through a lot of pics of Uptown in the 20s and 30s and it seems like EVERY corner has a Walgreens.

sorry about the surge of photos. i've been home sick and i wanted to share thinks i thought were rad.

Not unlike the Loop of today.

Ha, that's fair. Except I think Russian Circles are much better.

Ha, I do remember. Does Kenny have a bite out of his back?
There was no sandbox when EZ alerted me to this v. important retail update, and I just fond a pic. The former Borders at Clark/Broadway/Diversey is going to be a mega-Walgreens.

Okay, wow, that is some relatively lazy SketchUp model work right there. Not bragging here, but that is beginner level and I could probably knock that out in about two hours. They really need to expand beyond the stock people and work on their shadowing.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Saturday, 3 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
But I guess I shouldn't knock it too much, knowing the way clients work they probably asked for a rendering that they didn't want to pay anything extra for and I can't blame them for cranking something out.
― I left my login in El Sandboxo, Saturday, 3 December 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Also, unless they are planning to set that Walgreens back from the corner much further than the current building, that's not to scale.

Wow, what an idiot.
BTW -- I don't know if anyone could possibly care about this, but Video Adventure in Evanston is selling all of their VHS for $0.10-$0.50. It was pretty picked through but I got two Derek Jarman movies (The Angelic Conversation and The Last of England) and Return to Two Moon Junction (which is clearly horrible but you know how I feel about terrible movies). Dan got 2 horror movies and I forget what they are. We spent $0.95.
Also I left before Russian Circles played last night because the place was totally packed and the crowd was awful. Was also kinda bored by Young Widows.

Hey, we're giving away this chair and ottoman if any of you want it: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/zip/2735648761.html

Cool chair. Is it still available?
― Sandbox Jesse, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
Yes. Come pick it up.
― thejenny, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
Do you think I should be clearer about the chair's condition? I'm sending the original pics to anybody who emails expressing interest, but I've gotten a couple of emails that are like "ARE THERE ANY RIPS OR STAINS?" and I'm like, It's a free chair on Craig's List with a visible rip in one of the pictures, so yes. Maybe they are asking if anybody has peed on it.
― thejenny, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't notice the rip at first, fwiw.
― dyao think i'm sexy (jaymc), Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
I... do not like that cover. I love the song, but the cover seems to suck all of the interestingness out of it. Maybe if he started screaming DO YOU WANNA DI-YEEEE somewhere in there.
xp okay, I'll note the rip in the description. Thanks!
― thejenny, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe. When I sell stuff o n CL, Ebay (eBay?) and Amazon I usually include something about flaws, even if it's just "minor shelf wear" b/c disclosure heads off concerns. xp
― Sandbox Jesse, Sunday, 4 December 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
I noted the tear in the ottoman and some fading/discoloration in the chair. I thought suggesting the chair for a frat house/reupholstery project and giving it away for free w/ the slipcover would be enough, but it can't hurt to give more info.
I'm giving it away because I don't think it's worth any money and because I don't want to carry it to the alley, btw. It's too big to fit through our back gate and it's going to be monstrous to have to carry around the block. God.
