Testing testing. hello hello.

Heard bumping from a car at Clark and Wacker just now: "The Humpty Dance." Awesome.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh hi kids! I've missed you.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The Humpty Dance was the last song played at the (surprisingly hip) wedding that my band over the weekend.

― JordanC, Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Not that we played it, I mean, it was on an iPod after we were done.

Although Erik did bust a Fat Boys rap to give everyone's chops a break.

So I just emailed these people about their CL ad:

Mistake or no? Time will tell.

i'd be very wary of that adjective if i were you dan.

Sounds fun. Here's to hoping they aren't untalented assholes.

xpost, ha

Every word I say should be a hip hop quotable.

so.... do I post here or back on the HOT's on the real ILX?

this place is kinda funny as a bizarro-ilx. it feels like a facade.

― jaymc, Thursday, 17 August 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I know. Or the kids' table or something.

― dan m, Thursday, 17 August 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what I like about it.

― M White, Thursday, 17 August 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone here?

― jaymc, Monday, 28 August 2006 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Just me.

Why didn't I go to Chicago this year? I should have!

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

You totally should have! I'm not likely to be in Mississippi any time soon. :(

― jaymc, Monday, 28 August 2006 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha, if you were to ever say you were thinking about it, I'd try to talk you out of it.

Mid to late October is a possibility, but I'm trying to save $$ for the big Frank's APA meetup next year. (We've narrowed it down to Netherlands or Belgium.)

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Monday, 28 August 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Here I am.

― jesse, Thursday, 31 August 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi. I'm bored.

I see Rebirth is playing in Chicago this Sunday (3:30 at the Chicago Jazz Festival). I recommend GOING.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 31 August 2006 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't understand. why can't we have real ilx?

Jack, who’s always thought his erotic appeal is underrated, first asked for sex scenes. “These kind of monsters, they don’t usually have a sex life onscreen, so I wanted to bring that to the part.” He chuckles. “I pushed that side pretty good. He’s a mad, bad nut job, so he’s evil sexually too. Fuck ’em, kill ’em, you know … At the moment, it’s a matter of discussion how far we went, as a matter of fact,” he says proudly, noting that Scorsese’s currently debating whether to edit down his brutal lovemaking.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 31 August 2006 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Chicagofags! I was just checking this thread for shits and giggles and saw the Jack Nicholson pictures. A preview before BEERFEST was for some big-timey vaguely cop/crime-drama that starred Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alec Baldwin, etc etc, lots of BIG NAME GUYS. And then BEERFEST came on and we larffed. And got drunk.

― nklshs (nklshs), Thursday, 31 August 2006 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

That Nicholson quote is terrifying. It sounds like he's trying to turn the character into Frank Booth:

― jaymc, Thursday, 31 August 2006 20:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Nick -- yeah, I think that's the movie that the bit Jordan quoted is about. It's called The Departed.

― jaymc, Thursday, 31 August 2006 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm here.

i can't handle the chicago threads on the real ILX.

i miss chicago like mad, you guys.

― grady, Thursday, 31 August 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I just filled out the questionnaire for my high-school reunion. YES.

Plan for tonight:

1. Little Miss Sunshine at the Davis Theater
2. Brighton MA at Schubas
3. Hang out with potential new guitarist (!) at Schubas after the show

― jaymc, Thursday, 31 August 2006 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a band called Brighton MA? Huh.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonster), Thursday, 31 August 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Chicago! Specifically Eric!

Let's go see this play: http://www.congosquaretheatre.org/richard.asp

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 13:18 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a band called Brighton MA? Huh.

Yup. Named after the lead singer's hometown. I didn't make it to the show, though. I was hungry after seeing the movie, so I had dinner instead. (Movie, btw, was just okaaaay. There were some funny moments, but I sometimes resist movies that try to endear me to the characters by ramming down my throat how adorably quirky everyone is.)

― jaymc, Friday, 1 September 2006 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, that play looks very interesting.

I had the most wonderful bottle of cabernet last night (well, one glass of it). I am coming to understand that there's nothing wrong with a screw cap. It feels weird for a while, but then you taste the wine, and you realize that it's not automatically Mad Dog just because it has a screw cap.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 14:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Screw caps are making a comeback due to cork shortages.

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 September 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't remember the name of this one... Nuages, or Numan, or something with an N and a U. Anyway, it's on sale at the store at Foster and Clark. And it really is good.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

GUYS POST ON THIS THREAD

― jaymc, Friday, 1 September 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi John.

― danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi. I think I'm gonna stay in tonight, because I've gone out every night this week (all for band-related endeavors) and I like the idea of watching a DVD with a bottle of wine or a couple pumpkin beers, ya feel me?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel ya, dawg. I've done nothing but sit in and do laundry and read HTML books all week, so I'm itchin' to get out and blow some money.

Also, wine=good, pumpkin beer=not so much.

― danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Sir, believe you are mistaken.

Although it may be too warm yet for pumpkin beer. It's not as good if you don't need a jacket to go outside.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

The Blue Moon pumpkin beer is disgusting. I forget what I picked up. It was from Whole Foods.

I don't need a jacket to go outside, but I am wearing a long-sleeved shirt for the first time since May.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, I know, I just don't like fruity-flavored beer. Hops, hops and more hops!

― danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Pumpkin is hardly "fruity-flavored." It's more of a bittersweet memory.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds kind of emo.

I just figured everything out, and I am going to Alaska in a few weeks!

― danno martinez, Friday, 1 September 2006 15:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoa. How come? Is 3r1c@ involved somehow?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:32 (seventeen years ago) link

lol at EmoBeer.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Pumpkin beer is

a bittersweet memory
a favorite sweater
an autumn sonata
freshly cut wood and the first time you light the fireplace
a crisp breeze
a train in the distance

xpost: Possibly. I need to see if she's got to go up there for her tribal board meetings around then. But she's moved out to Washington state now 'cause she got a job teaching at Evergreen State College.

Two of my best friends in the world (one since I was like 3 years old) live in Homer, AK and I'll be going primarily to visit them.

I've been curious about this Irish pub that I've seen a bunch of times right at Belmont and Sheridan, on the ground floor of some high-rise. It seems so other-worldly over there, and, even though I'm sure it's generic inside, I'd like to check it out sometime.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

So can the Christian Brothers:

(Fun fact: my dad was in the Christian Bros. seminary for a year in the mid-1960s.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Monks and Drunks

This is a great name for a bar. Really.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, are you talking about Bridget McNeill's? I went there with Renee once.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

(I just noticed that the first comment on that Chicagoist article is from M. C@lv3rt.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

is monks on lake street still open? i used to see it from the green line, i think it's west of clark & lake and either just before or just after the rive?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, yes, Bridget McNeill's is it.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Monk's is still around. That would be a good TTs as well. It seems like the Loop version of Moody's to me.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to go to Bridget McNeill's. And Monk's. And Old Timer's. I like bars.

If my dumb yoga studio had some early morning classes, this wouldn't be a problem.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to go to a different neighborhood for the next tt's so if we have it up by jenny & jeff's that's cool. i just need to allot some extra travel time.

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I read that big Reader article on the Bell's dingus today, it was interesting.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Monk's. Yeah, it's still open. Last time I was there, one of the people I was with knew the owner, and we got freebies all night. Sweet.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:41 (seventeen years ago) link

kenan, what happened at tuman's?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, hold that story, i gotta go.

I have been really bemoaning the lack of good beer selection in this shit hole town lately.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Nothing happened at Tuman's, far as I know. I found a scarf.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Is the beer selection in liquor stores limited too?

I have been really bemoaning the lack of good beer selection in this shit hole town lately.

Whaddar you talking about, can't you get Bud bottles everywhere?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Depends on the store, but I haven't found anything like State Line Liquors in MD or Liquormart in Boulder, CO around here. Then again, I have not been looking that hard. I just prefer to bitch.

xpost - no, can't get OLD STYLE everywhere!

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

State Line Liquors

*genuflects*

Oh my.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

A store with ~ 700 North American craft brewed beers. In Elkton fucking Maryland. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FROM A MAJOR CITY?

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The guy in the cube next to me always says "g/f" on the phone instead of "girlfriend". As in "gee slash eff". IT HAS MORE SYLLABLES AND SOUNDS DUMB. JUST SAY GIRLFRIEND, FLAPJAWS.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

don't you mean JACKBALLS?

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha. I was walking around downtown Chi with some dudes and saw a place called the Flapjaws Cafe or something, and it stuck (as in "what's up, flapjaws" or "listen to ol flapjaws here").

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Holy cow, State Line Liquors, wtf. And here I was happy with the place at Clark and Foster. (Except dude gave me a shitty wine recommendation last time I was in there.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Jenny, we should go here:

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hiya, I took most of the afternoon off to tend to some bidness.

For big beer (and of course, wine) selection I like http://www.samswine.com/Main.aspx -- closer to my house, VAS Foremost liquor actually has a lot of good Belgians and craft brews.

I will go anywhere for TT, just don't make me decide. Extra travel time may be needed, and I may bring a friend.

Otto, you ought to know better than to trifle with the VA Office of Internet Time-Wasting Prevention Department, Northern Illinois Division. We see all, we know all.

The dude from Scrubs ruins that show, I don't care how funny it supposedly is. He sucks so hard. The Office, OZ, C.Y.E., and Mr. Show are all grebtx1000. Well, only the first 4.5 seasons of OZ, really.
