This is why you no longer live in your car, I assume.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 December 2006 04:11 (seventeen years ago) link

No word at the end of the day what the hell is up with my work schedule. I really don't want to go on 12 hour days, and I really really don't want to go on nights, and I really really really want to come to JBR's birthday fap.

― jaq (jaq), Friday, 1 December 2006 04:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Call in mysteriously sick for a day. Perhaps.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 1 December 2006 04:51 (seventeen years ago) link

If only. I spent a considerable amount of time today willing the genset to throw one of its mysterious fits, but I won't know until tomorrow morning if it worked :)

― jaq (jaq), Friday, 1 December 2006 04:59 (seventeen years ago) link

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 2 December 2006 03:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Will there be any good music shows between December 16 and December 29? I'm thinking of going to see the Blank Tapes in Costa Mesa on the 21st. They'll also play in NYC before that.

Ya punk. (And yes I am okay now.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 December 2006 00:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I may have shown up for this one too but I also had a touch of a cold, plus I'm going to Norway again Monday and thought I should prepare/rest up. Happy birthday Jody.

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

so much for that daily multivitamin!

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Monday, 4 December 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe I *shouldn't've* visited y'all on Saturday.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 4 December 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I have the stomach flu

:-( Glad it's not a cabbage 'n beer allergy, though. Hope you're all feeling better soon.

― jaq (jaq), Monday, 4 December 2006 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

NOT SICK. U GUYS SHOULD HAVE GOT DRUNKER.

― MAP (mattp), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 04:11 (seventeen years ago) link

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 04:43 (seventeen years ago) link

i have weird recurring fever + finals anxiety, both of which i will now cure with pot.

― MAP (mattp), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 05:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Ugh, I had some sort of stomach bug last week. Only lasted a day and a half, though. Sorry I missed the FAP and happy birthday, JBR. It would have been nice to hoist a few in honor of Mariska "Was a Good Old Girl" Veres with some people who feel the same as I do about her. Anyway, hope you all feel better.

Someday I'll see you all again! Anyone hear from Vic? I know he was gonna be really busy with his film for a few months.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 05:16 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm drinking for mariska tonight, arthur.

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 06:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Vic actually wrote me in response to my myspace blog about my Friday hospital stint -- film's finished and is to be premiered in June or July, I think.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 06:11 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw Steve-O this weekend. he looked rather normal

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 06:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Does anyone know where I can find a self-service drive-thru car wash in LA? I went through one in Northern California a few weeks ago and it was just delightful. As far as self-service car washes go, all I ever see in LA are the park 'n' brush 'n' spray ones.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been looking for someplace to get the giant work pickup cleaned and found this page of LA car wash reviews! Has all kinds of different types listed but several automatic ones.

― jaq (jaq), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i think there's a self-service one on santa monica blvd between vine and cahuenga, and there might be a couple others in the area. another one on santa monica blvd near gardner, i think? could be wrong.

― deep space nine (deep space nine), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

look what i share a birthday with!

― paresthesia hilton (get bent), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 05:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Does anyone know of a southern California carwash in the form of a castle? It's somewhere near the beach.

Is it ILX you're spinning for?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 15 December 2006 05:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I have nothing to do with that event. I just happened to see it posted on MySpace. BTW, did Spencer stop posting? I remember him having a good presence here when I first started lurking.

― naus (naus), Friday, 15 December 2006 06:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it was actually an LA thread that drove him away was it not?

― walterkranz (walterkranz), Friday, 15 December 2006 06:24 (seventeen years ago) link

he still posts occasionally (i haven't seen him on the sandbox tho)

― j.m. goatse (get bent), Friday, 15 December 2006 06:37 (seventeen years ago) link

two months pass...

posting info about tomorrow here since regular ilx is down:

join us for lunch tomorrow, february 17, at taste of brazil in el sereno (on huntington drive near eastern avenue). transit riders can take the 78/79/378 or the 256. routes and times are on the mta website. we're aiming for a 2pm start time.

after lunch we're going to pasadena to check up on ilxor BLAM at his notorious mccormick & schmick's bartending shift, fabled in story and song. that'll be sometime around 4pm. mccormick & schmick is at 111 n. los robles, near union st. walkable from the memorial park gold line station.

― children of mentalists (get bent), Saturday, 17 February 2007 06:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I RSVPed, so there's a chance I might go. My GF went to the Blow Up LA party and said it was fun.

― naus (naus), Sunday, 18 February 2007 00:57 (seventeen years ago) link

If the Acid Girls dudes were who I thought they were at Switch on Tuesday night (the first guys to go on, right?) then I would completely go to this, if only to hear whatever the fuck that ridiculous banger of a track that went right after that LCD Soundsystem song was again. (unfortunately I have plans for the night already - I should probably make more of an effort to see AG out in Costa Mesa or whatever far-flung location y'all call yr homebase anyway.)

― James Cobo (trdn89), Sunday, 18 February 2007 01:32 (seventeen years ago) link

My only other option tonight is standing in line at The Echo for two hours as the inept door staff shoots the shit with each other instead of letting people into the club. Jerry from Devo is DJing. Or I guess I could stay in the IE (but no).

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Sunday, 18 February 2007 09:42 (seventeen years ago) link

and nickn too sorry. roxor

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Sunday, 18 February 2007 09:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't go to either of those clubs because I suck and all my friends wanted me to go to some garage-punk festival at Mr. T's Bowl in Highland Park. Only caught two bands but one of them was The Flakes and they totally made the night worth it.

― naus (naus), Sunday, 18 February 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

the chairs of perception (new incarnation of urinals/100 flowers) and the last ('84 edition) are playing early sunday night at safari sam's on sunset east of western. both are tight, lean, and hungry. i'll see everyone there!

― dan (dan), Sunday, 18 February 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I was going to hit BlowUp, but was too tired. Acid Girls are highly recommended!

Also, I tend to play a baltimore club remix of Lionel Richie (The Commodores) "Easy". I might have to do my own edit of "Hello".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 18 February 2007 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

naus did you see knights of the new crusade? they played at my school on friday and then were going to mr. t's bowl last night. they do fake christian rock, dress up in chain mail, wave a big sword? theyre awesome.

― max (maxreax), Sunday, 18 February 2007 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

That was one of the bands that I wanted to see but missed :(

― naus (naus), Sunday, 18 February 2007 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi JBR!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 18 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello to all. Sleeping in this morning was a fine thing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 February 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

sundays! i drove to san diego yesterday and i forgot how much i hate long weekend traffic. 7 hours driving, total, plus 6 major accidents along the way.

― max (maxreax), Sunday, 18 February 2007 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm sad i missed stuff. i did make it out that night for john wiese!!! and captain ahab, who were... wow. fun times. happy three-day weekend everyone!

― mattp (mattp), Monday, 19 February 2007 06:07 (seventeen years ago) link

hehe why did i think coffee and whiskey was a good idea?

― mattp (mattp), Monday, 19 February 2007 06:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I would totally like to see BLAM's document of last night's shift.

Please?

― naus (naus), Monday, 19 February 2007 06:50 (seventeen years ago) link

BLAM mentioned to me in e-mail he is having login problems! :-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 February 2007 08:15 (seventeen years ago) link

jbr - or any other urban planningites -- got any thoughts on this story? Reads like a dumb hit piece to this layman, just wondering if you have more info or dealings with the org in question and how effectual it actually is.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 02:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i have no thoughts on this story. zu^^@ d066 + kotkin = la la la not listening.

― stepfanie kramer (get bent), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 03:17 (seventeen years ago) link

The movie Los Angeles Plays Itself is showing at the Aero in Santa Monica Friday and Saturday. It's well worth seeing and doesn't play too often. And may never be released on DVD because I take it the clips were used largely without permission.

― nickn (nickn), Friday, 23 February 2007 07:44 (seventeen years ago) link

six years pass...

My hotel is in a weird location and I don't think there's anything fun nearby but maybe that's ok because two hours of sleep last night plus jetlag = no motivation.

― tehresa, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 21:24 (ten years ago) link

if you have questions shoot away

― t. silaviver, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 23:23 (ten years ago) link

Maybe moot now bc i have a lot of hw tonight for work stuff tomorrow and then I'm stupid busy, but I'm by usc and it seems lame.

― tehresa, Thursday, 14 November 2013 02:51 (ten years ago) link

― t. silaviver, Thursday, 14 November 2013 03:45 (ten years ago) link

― tehresa, Thursday, 14 November 2013 04:43 (ten years ago) link

let me know if you are looking for a downtown cocktail joint

― t. silaviver, Thursday, 14 November 2013 06:20 (ten years ago) link

Maybe for Friday night if I can get out of any work obligations!

― tehresa, Thursday, 14 November 2013 15:08 (ten years ago) link
