What about "shirt sleeves"?

someday we will get the story of what *really* happened on kevin's prom night, and it will be shocking indeed.

GOLDEN TEE TOURNEY BROS LOSER BUYS BEER JEFF KEVIN KENAN I'M TALKING TO YOU

I saw a very very fun marching band last weekend.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I like the New Zealand course, where there is lava and steam in the place on sandtraps.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I have this problem where I cry whenever I see/hear marching bands. It's like there's some sort of receptor in my brain that's broken and always has the same (inappropriate) response.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

That's very strange!

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard, Armanda.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Although it would make sense if you were as irredemably bad at marching as I was and you are having a visceral reaction to the buried shame and self-loathing.

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Turning corners as a unit was nigh impossible when I was involved.

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

This is the band I saw in a parade last weekend:

(don't click, Amanda, or you will weep!)

They were kind of like The Pogues but cute too.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I have never played Golden Tee but I enjoyed playing the video bowling game at Piece with Eric and others on Sarah's birthday.

Hey! ILX2 has started doing un-American dates again.

I kind of have a love-hate relationship with marching. I liked it in high school, but our school sucked. The Southern bands and some drum corps stuff can be killer, but I'm way sick of people coming up at Digd0wn shows assuming we all must have come from the UW marching band (no one did).

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

My fingernails are really nice right now. I don't like clear nail polish on men, but I really do like buffed nails; it really helps make a man look put together, or helps complete a nice look.

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

buffed males

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I could probably do New Orleans style marching, where you're all kind of doing your own thing. But then again, maybe not, since I have no rhythm and would be the one doing the Elaine dance while holding a trumpet.

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I buffed my tail too.

― Little kernel of salty honey (crunkleJ), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

We don't march so much as...amble. And sometimes stumble.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm audi, stay famous Chicago. I've got the cigar-smoking Elk's Club bachelor party tonight.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I once described the Go! Team's "Junior Kickstart" as Sonic Youth jams with the Grambling State marching band.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

See ya guys. I'm playing Schubas tonite. Show will probably sell out, so get there early if you want to see us.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Amanda, I cry too -- I get a little choked up out of pride, at so many straight backs and chins up and everyone making a conscious choice to temporarily conform, and conform MIGHTILY, for the good of the group because they can only exist as a group. SEE, I'M PRACTICALLY OVERWROUGHT ALREADY!

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeeeeah, marching band dork over here.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 22 February 2007 23:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Are you sure it's not some sort of residual "American Pie" trauma bubbling to the surface?

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 23 February 2007 00:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Positive. First of all I've never seen the movie all the way through, it annoys the shit out of me. Second, I've had this little problem since, like, sixth grade.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 23 February 2007 00:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh shit, sorry, I meant the song. Fuck that movie.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 23 February 2007 00:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck that song too, but it references a marching band, is pretty nostalgic, etc...

You know, this song was on our wedding mix. I was sad it did come up during our reception.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Friday, 23 February 2007 01:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Some Ai Otsuka as well.

Before I go downloading it, is this the Obama '04 campaign song? "BARACK ... BARACK OBAMA ... OOH HE'S STRONGER THAN A ROCK"? That one?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 23 February 2007 06:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Friday, 23 February 2007 12:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Laurel, that's totally the reason. Also loud horns and uniforms and bombastic tunes. My psychotherapist friend (friend who has become a psychotherapist not therapist-and-friend) believes it's a form of homesickness. She thinks homesickness (for a "home" real or imagined, physical or emotional) is behind a lot of people's overwhelming sadness/depression/self-destruction/angst. I'm not sure if this is a popular theory among modern psychotherapists or just her particular thing because I know nothing about modern psychotherapy apart from what she tells me.

PS My old roomie, the one of Passed Out Naked in the Backyard fame, used to call me "band camp girl" behind my back. I DID NOT APPRECIATE THIS on several levels. 1) Not original, not funny. 2) Not true. 3) Pardon the fuck out of my exuberance, you crazy, lazy, boring hunk of waste.

I hate to leave on such a bilious note, so I offer you this:

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Friday, 23 February 2007 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

..and then you killed her. But seriously, do you have any idea what she's up to these days? More of the same?

How was the date, JESSE???

― Calico (calico), Friday, 23 February 2007 14:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahah! Doggie say "Aroo?"

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 23 February 2007 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, how was the show last night John? I am pumped for our show tonight.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 23 February 2007 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way

You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
But when you're all alone
And nothing bites
You'll wish you stayed at home
With someone nice
But when you think you made it disappear
It comes again, "Hello, I'm here" and
I've got angst in my pants

You can be smart as hell
Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads
Answer so no one knows
What you just said
But when you're all alone
You and your head
What's the computer say, it's mumbling now
It says "hey Joe"
It's spelled it out and
"You've got angst in your pants"
"You've got angst in your pants"

But when you think you've made it disappear
You're sure you made it disappear
And you've still got angst in your pants

I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
Give it a hundred years
It won't go 'way
And I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants

I love drum lines the way that you love marching bands, Amanda, with the same goose bumps/uncontrollable tearing up. I was in marching band for a bazillion years and pretty much hated it. But drum cadences get me all crazy, especially HBCU drum lines because DAMN. They are just awesome. Even that stupid Cadillac commercial makes me all excited.

is "angst in my pants" a n/a original?

― PORNTIPSGUZZARDO (kenan), Friday, 23 February 2007 15:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Unfortunately not, it's a Sparks song.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 23 February 2007 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm confused - that's dated for the show we went to, but the pics are clearly not from the show last Friday, since you guys didn't go outside that night.
