CHICAGO: If Hepatitis C Were Attacking Your Face Instead of Your Liver You'd Be Doing Something About It

Indie-rock legend venue holds 300. But it's a solo performer, meant to be an intimate evening, etc. Plus it's not in Chicago.

No idea what the consequences are. I'm pretty sure we're going to keep the show we have, because we like to play by the rules and have a reputation as a good band to work with, but it's also kind of a bummer.

OK GUYS: Dude is J3R3MY 3N1GK from $UNNY D@Y R3@L 3$T@T3

That orchid excerpt is awesome, Sarah.

"Oh look, honey, it's a genus of orchid."

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 December 2006 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

!!! Hilarity! to Sarah.

To John - oh it's just the one guy? Forget it.

Yeah, but you know there are $SDR3 fans from way back when who'll still show up in droves to see him.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 December 2006 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean $DR3. Whatever.

TS: cancelling a booked/contracted gig vs. putting together a band wholly comprised of sub musicians (except for one dude) with the same name?

(we are doing the latter in feb.)

I remember that impromptu Undertow meeting. It was shortly after N&S's bday throw down bash.

Jeff... (Jeff...), Friday, 1 December 2006 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, it was like the second time ever I'd seen you guys. There was the awkward moment of whether or not I should say hi. These days I just run up and give you big ol' bear hugs every chance I get.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 1 December 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

We had that same awkward moment! But we fixed it with beer, which fixes everything.

I have to write a simulation for my mediation class and mine is all about a magician and Houdini historian who appeared on an episode of Legend Smashers, "a popular television show on which two co-hosts test urban legends under scientific conditions to determine whether the legends have any basis in reality."

Can you tell I was watching TV while doing my homework?

Why do the libraries close at 5pm on Fridays? DOES LEARNING HAVE TO STOP?? I wanted to go to the library after practice this afternoon. Bastards!

Calico (calico), Friday, 1 December 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate that! I've been burned by that before.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Friday, 1 December 2006 20:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm here. What do you want.

The one in my neigborhood doesn't (Bezazian).

Is the library in your neighborhood IN ARMENIA?

Something there is that doesn't love a wall

it's the first line of the poem "Mending Wall," a poem that contains the famous and frequently misused line "good fences make good neighbors."

Also, my fucking foot is wet because my shoe has a hole in it.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I love that poem.

Why Armenia?

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm putting on my Christmas wish list:

Robert Frost poems
Dremmel Tool

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Because lots of names that end in -ian are Armenian and the presence of Zs is another tipoff: witness Bezazian.

Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

God I love Robert Frost.

I Googled Bezazian and the first result was the Bezazian branch of the CPL. My drawing professor was Armenian and his surname was An@ni@n.

"The environment of my life causes me sudden horror because it is my irreparable petrification, the proof that I am this and not A or B. To travel is to invent a spatial future. Instead, if I stay, I destroy even the temporal future to replace it with a matchbox future, a future of weekends, new detective stories, Thursdays with Olga and Sundays at the cinema. I know how many shirts I have in the closet. The wall of my office is a vertebra. Soup, then soup. Then this blue armchair."

- Julio Cortazar

Translation: I feel stagnant and unhappy.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I like detective stories and the cinema. I think I'd probably be into Olga too.

JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 1 December 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Soup, then soup. That's so great.

I just watched an episode of America's Test kitchen wherein they made chicken and dumplings. I come from a slick (or slip, I swear my family used these terms interchangeably but it seems that whichever one I use, I get mocked for not using the other one) dumpling family but this recipe made puffy, biscuit-like dumplings over a very rich stew and looked reeeeeaaaaaaallllly good. The heavy cream and chicken fat make it inappropriate for regular consumption, but I'm thinking as a nice new year's day dinner, it would be absolutely delish.

I've already had lunch, but I want it again. I'm think my body is mistaking sleepy for hungry. It does that sometimes.

It's not an ornament, but I don't think that will matter, in the end.

I think dressing as a giant cartoon penis is just the kind of thing I would do. At least nobody will ask you, "What are you supposed to be?"

In news that is likely only exciting to me, a friend of ours writes stories for video games and named a non-playing character in an upcoming game after me.

"Specialist Burg3ss is in the tavern of the main base, talking about ethics and morality and the ignoring of the Geneva Convention."

I'm in a tavern! Talking about ethics and morality and international law! IT IS LIKE REAL LIFE!
