Hi miss Laurel!

Ok, so, tell us how you got that pic.

I'm at Jenny and Jeff's place with Jesse. We're watching Ravenous and eating vegetable soup. It wasn't planned that way, but while watching this movie, we're all very glad there's no meat in this.

The same guy who took that photo has this neat one of Paul McCartney. Getting your photo taken by him is kind of a rites of passage in Chicago.

We should've had TTs at the Rainbo with you guys, just to flaunt it.

Lovely pictures!

Goodbye.

Late. Just got home. Surprisingly lucid. Going to read the book that J&J just gave me, by Royko, about Daley #1. It looks really good.

Also, listening to Skip Spence. Man, I love this record.

Thanks for the kind words, all. N3wberry was a delight to work with. Professional but relaxed and relaxing. We'll be back tomorrow and we both have Monday off, so let's get together and hang out in the next couple of days.

Actually, what are people doing for New Year's Eve? We have no plans.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

the bottle is sold out so unless jim or jered put me on the list (unlikely since i will not ask either of them to do this) i will probably celebrate at home. i might go to tuman's early in the evening to get drunk but i'll be home before midnight.

hey, is there an online version of the reader article? i want to read it!

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

the reader.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

That's a great article.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Any tips on where to buy a new computer online? Newegg maybe?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Great article! I sent it to all the Top Models, Sarah.

When in June are y'all getting married? Leaf & I are on the 30th . . . not that it will conflict or anything, considering that since my side of the family is so huge I'm only inviting like, one or two friends. Literally.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

June 2.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night I heard that an acquaintance had his bachelor party the day after Xmas and is getting married on New Year's Day. WTF? Who wants to have their anniversary on the most hungover day of the year?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you getting married in Chicago or Virginia or . . . .? June 2nd will be great. I actually wish we were getting married earlier or in the fall.

Do they still have Egghead Software? I used to love that place when I was a kid.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

And by "they" I mean "the world."

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

BABBAGE'S

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

That was my free-videogame-demos-at-the-mall joint as a kid.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG I totally forgot about that place. Yeah, it seemed like it was only in malls.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Egghead Software was founded in 1984 as a computer software retail company. It grew into a chain with over 200 stores in the United States, primarily located in shopping malls. Faced with declining revenues, in 1998, the company shifted its focus to online business, closing its retail locations and selling entirely through its egghead.com website.
Egghead was hurt by a December of 2000 revelation that hackers had accessed its systems and potentially compromised customer credit card data. The company filed for bankruptcy in August of 2001. After a deal to sell the company to Fry's Electronics for $10 million fell through, its assets were acquired by Amazon.com for $6.1 million instead.

Among other things, Egghead's customers could voluntarily and freely sign up for a Que Card, a card that would guarantee a slightly reduced price on certain items.

Guys, I am listening to a WALKMAN right now. Old school!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Walkmen. I wish I still had one.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi, I'm back at work. For one fucking day! I'm kind of pissed about this. But on the bright side, this is the first time I've come back after a few days off and haven't had to put out a half dozen fires, so that's good.

I echo Nick's sentiment that we should get together and hang out sometime soon. I don't have NYE plans either but I may be heading over to Detroit. If not, though, I'm up for anything.

Also, please accept my kudos, FFs, for a great article. I feel proud to say I know you!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm drinking a rice shake that includes "spirulina, blue green algae, and nutrutious grasses" in the ingredients. it's quite delish.

in other news, i think i will finally sleep well tonight as leaf is due home this evening. i sure have missed that guy.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Where did he go? China again?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow, I have this awesome solo piano improvisation from like 1998, like Keith Jarrett meets Thurston Moore or something.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Now that I've read the article, I have to agree - it was really good! I totally laughed at the quote from Sarah about how badly it messed her up for her mom to get into Def Leppard and Nick's Boyracer obsession. The article made me want to buy your album and be your friend all over again, seriously.

Yes to getting together. I understand EZ and Cuntstanza are playing an early show at the Beat Kitchen on Saturday. I'd really like to go to that - a 5 pm show is totally my old lady speed! Maybe we could all do that?

We don't have NYE plans either. If I could have all my dearest wishes come true, I would want to find an uncrowded low key bar where we could all hang out and drink beer and listen to a juke box (isn't that what I always want to do though?). Chillin' with pals at home would be cool, too. I'm into that nowadays. Old lady thing again, I guess.

Three cheers for getting married on even days in June! Although I am like Kelsey - I wished we could have gotten married in October or November. Did you know: January is the least popular month for weddings?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I probably mentioned this before, but I am going to the Driftwood Bar for NYE. In a lot of ways, I wish I could hang out with you guys, but it's sort of a tradition, and I'm excited about playing DJ.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, i could do that considering i'll be at the beat kitchen for the criminal iq holiday party later that night. i wouldn't mind getting my drunk on early.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd be down for that too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

also lol @ "Cuntstanza"

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I am working NYE and the brilliancy that is the investing partners decided that we would be open until midnight and have a Champagne toast. The thing is, C35 is the kind of place people go early before they hit their destination. Fucking waste of my time. Except getting to drink free Champagne (or maybe just cheap bubbly--probably).

I totally laughed at the quote from Sarah about how badly it messed her up for her mom to get into Def Leppard and Nick's Boyracer obsession.

me too! great article.

I'm depressed/angry as fuck, I don't think I'll be on ILX the rest of the day. Have a good weekend/New Year all.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

That's just horrible.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

He's not even the first person FROM THAT BAND to get shot. New Orleans is so fucked.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Damn. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. Was he robbed or anything, or was this just random?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea. I know exactly where that block is too. Doesn't sound like he was robbed but I want to know if it was random or if someone had it in for him specifically.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I wondered that too. I used to drive there (Dumaine and Broad) daily and at all hours.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 29 December 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry to kill thread. I'm at home drinking a beer and trying to get my mind right before going back to work.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Did you know him personally?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I wasn't his best friend or anything but I went to see him play a bunch of times, sent some stuff down after the hurricane, listened to his recordings about eight million times. Some other guys in my band know him from way farther back, played in the same band, etc.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Please start talking about minutiae again people

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:50 (seventeen years ago) link

How about this: my housemate got norovirus over Xmastime (actually Christmas morning) and so did his entire family. They all had to go to the ER to be rehydrated after spending literally hours on end puking. He says he lost close to 12 pounds over the course of a couple days due to not being able to keep anything down (and he's a skinny guy already). Also, he passed out (while puking), fell down in the bathroom, and got a concussion!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WORST XMAS EVER

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

To top it all off, he's still contagious apparently! I'm nervous as hell!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 29 December 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, that's a little disgusting I know... but man oh man oh man I hope I'm safe.

Tho I could stand to lose a few lbs.
