WTF is up with your photo shoot, Sarah.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Band photo shoot?

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep. Thanks for askin'. It was for a Reader article that's coming out next week. It was so much fun! All the photo shoots we've had in the past were ones we instigated. This time it was someone contacting us saying they needed to set up an appointment for our photo shoot. Of course, Nick, Ben & I were totally hyper and dorky about the whole thing and giggled through most of it.

Then I went and met Colette and another IndieBride and we ate a ton of cupcakes and drank wine.

Ooh, a Reader article! With photo! How about that!! Merry Christmas, FFs!

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Movin on up, yo. That's awesome.

Ok, it's time for me to go fetch my parents. Stay awake, stay alive, don't drink and drive.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Awesome. It's b/c Mil3s Raym3r is the new music columnist for the Reader and he has seen you guys play w/ Mann3quin M3n, right?

chicago, my hangover started about 45 minutes ago and right now i feel like i'm gonna die. literally. death seems imminent.

i hate being awake for the START of a hangover. being awake for the tail end is bad enough but seeing these fuckers through from cradle to grave really blows. it feels like i have saran wrap stretched too tightly on the inside of my skull.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm praying that the full on ass feeling doesn't start before lunch.

Otto, maybe you should have a shot.

I wish I was a rock star. Sometimes when no one's looking I pretend I'm Black Francis.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

John, He was the one that asked to do an interview, but I don't know if he's seen us play. In fact, Nick even asked him if he heard about us because of the MM show. He said he originally was just in charge of fact-checking for the show listings/write ups, and that's how he first heard about us. So yeah, I think it was because of that show, but I don't think he was there, or he probably would have mentioned it.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

My mom has a cat which Leslie named Black Francis, but we usually just call her Baby.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Kevin, When can you go home? Can you just say you're sick? I mean, you are basically.

Kevin & Kenan, DRINK WATER.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

i get out 59 minutes early today, at 3:31. can't go home as we're about half-staffed in the office. not like i'm actually getting much done but i'm doing some stuff that NEEDS to be done.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm gonna go down to the file room and pass out.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

hello, chicago! i am posting from a cozy little condo in the gold coast, with a cat named rabbit bopping around somewhere. last night, fulton lounge was very fun -- especially since someone else was footing the bill (hello, tax write-offs), and i expect the birthday dinner i'm going to at lula tonight will also be awesome. oh yeah, and i ate at amitabul yesterday afternoon, which was just what i needed to face cold and dreary weather.

i imagine i'll probably see some of you at the green mill tomorrow...

― robots in love (robots in love), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi! I'm sorry I'll miss you. Nick and I are bootscootboogieing off to DC today.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Mark, glad to hear you are safe and sound. Too bad about the rain.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not cold though, Mark. That's crazy talk.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha, I was about to be all "You have to understand he lives in Orange County" but then I checked Weather.com, and Irvine is four degrees colder than Chicago and also raining!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, it was about the same temperature in CA when i left. but, it still feels more wintery here, hence the soup for lunch and hot toddy at fulton lounge. maybe i'm just bracing myself for cold weather to come. what's the forecast?

― robots in love (robots in love), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Flurries tomorrow, supposedly.

Is anyone going to the M@m@ D|gd0wn show tonight? My plans are being thrown into utter disarray by the weather out west.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Isn't your fam here now, Dan?

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to shoot everyone i've seen today in the face.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

EZ called me yesterday and said he might go to the MDBB show tonight but wasn't sure yet.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, otto.

I wished the bike messenger a happy holiday and he said he hates december because he's had six deaths in his life in december, including his mom and sister.

Dan, I thought I remembered you going to pick them up.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

My sis is here now, yes. But I have 2 other friends that are riding to MI with me who are coming from WA today, and their arrival is up in the air at this point.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Kevin, you said Black Lips are good, right? If so, we'll probably see them in dc.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, Dan.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, yes, you definitely should. last night i think i made plans to go see the black lips, ponys, and turpentine brothers in boston some time in march.

listen to the live version of not a problem and decide for yourself.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm 75% percent certain that not a problem is the only song the drummer sings.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, Dan.

Enh, not so much sucks as is inconvenient. We were going to leave tomorrow anyway, and I still have my sister to hang with. And who knows, they'll probably get here in time.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I really, really liked that song, so we're going to see them.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't "get" live recordings.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

explain

Just kidding. I agree that most live albums are pretty inessential, but sometimes they serve as a greatest hits album for bands that don't have a greatest hits album, and there are some bands for whom a live album is worth it.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha oh man

You get the vibe from the crowd, the enthusiasm.

Motorhead.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

the sound from a black lips show is pretty different from what's on their studio albums and still pretty great but in a different way. i can not wait for the b-lips live album, i heard from someone who has it that it's amazing.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I had this live Fear album (post connections what?) that I used to lurrrrve for the retarded onstage banter between songs.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh. I woke up for the start of my hangover today, then I went back to sleep. Taking off today is the best decision I ever made.

Um, our sousaphone player is flying into O'Hare tonight, is that going to be a problem?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Flights into Chicago's O'Hare International Airport were experiencing delays of almost three hours, according to Federal Aviation Administration.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi! I don't know how to get back on this ILX train, but hey. I'll probably go to the Green Mill tonight with a few people (including a friend from high school who I haven't seen since graduation - he's passing through town and is apparently kind of the manc0w of New Hampshire), and if not I'll go tomorrow night. You're all the tops. Would love to see any and all of you soon.

― eric z (Eazy), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, z-town. I'll definitely give you a call when we get back in town.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Oops, used my real name.

Z-TOWN AND DOG BOYZ

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, HI!

What should I watch on youtube?

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

omg, Sarah and Nick, that's awesome about FFs picture in the Reader!

I am sorry about various and sundry hangovers and traveling inconveniences. fyi for anyone flying/picking people up from airports, the flight that I got bumped to after missing my actual flight yesterday was delayed an hour and a half. that seemed endemic; all the flights around me were delayed.

also, hi, Eric!
