Worst was new years' eve a few years ago, 'Moe.' was at the Aragon and I was going from Wilmette to my place near Clark/Division in the middle of the night. Helped some partiers get to their hotel, at least.

I went home last night but Sayjal convinced me to go out and get a beer at SoFo. I had a double Blue Moon and we played darts. While we were there who should appear but the guy who wanted to penetrate Sheila and me at Big Chicks.

There was a bizzare crowd at SoFo--they were just like douchebag Wrigleyville guys--loud, sporty, stripey shirts, hooting, saying things like "Bro" and giving high fives--but they were gay.

Ate some yummy and very cheap tacos at at El Quijote.

I've been eating a lot of German food lately. Sure puts the fucking weight on, whether it tastes good or not. All German food is the same. There is no German food out there that is healthier than McDonalds. Learned that the hard way.

Who's going to the Beat Kitchen? What time are ya'll getting there? Let's meet up.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 30 December 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah and I will be there sometime between 4:30 and 5:00.

I have a $15 iTunes gift certificate, recommend me an album to download.

Hm. Having a hard time imagining what you don't already have. Do you have Lindstrom? I like that one a lot.

Also, Chicago II.

Electrelane, Axes?

Eazy (Eazy), Saturday, 30 December 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Axes.

Jeff... (Jeff...), Saturday, 30 December 2006 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, you've recommended something to me, anyway.

they call me candle guy (kenan), Saturday, 30 December 2006 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking os Chicago II, I wrote my dad earlier today and thanked him for it. Because Jeff was listening to Chicago Transit Authority when I was there the other night, and we were both like, "This is great shit." And then he asked me what else he should download, in a very general way, and I was, "My dad always loved Chicago II." So Jeff snagged it.

It didn't come in in time for me to here it that night, but I downloaded it today, then sat there thinking about the excellent taste in music that dad had once upon a time, and I wrote him a little thank-you note. MAN, that's a good record. The whole progression on side 2 from "Make Me Smile" back around to the end of that song... it all just kicks my ass.

Imagine Jimmy Hendrix crossed with Blood Sweat and Tears. Only better than what you're imagining.

Hello Chicago. I am in you for 24 hours. I know Mr. Dan the Yooper in case I need a password or something to post on this thread as a non-Chicagoan.

Anyway, it is New Year's Eve, and I doubt anyone is going to see this, but if anyone could suggest the best possible option for take-out Indian food on New Year's Day it would be great. If not I'm just going to drive up to Devon and see who's open.

joygoat (joygoat), Monday, 1 January 2007 00:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to have as many people inside me as possible, for as long as possible.

they call me Chicago (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 04:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Bhabi's Kitchen, 6352 N. Oakley Blvd - right off Devon. I love that place!

Happy new year, suckas! I really like you guys, and that's not just bad champagne talking. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: ILX yields quality humans.

Also, N&S - just FYI, apparently we DID see the British ending of The Descent! Whoa!

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 07:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, happy new year! How'd the squash turn out? I stayed in and nursed my voice and watched the movie version of Mamet's Edmond - worth seeing.

Eazy (Eazy), Monday, 1 January 2007 08:09 (seventeen years ago) link

happy ukcing new year!!!

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 1 January 2007 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy new year!

The squash risotto turned out pretty well, I think. I wouldn't make it every day because it's a little time consuming (and involves more delicious butter and cheese than I prefer to eat regularly) but it's a great, relatively easy special occasional dinner.

I'm excited because we have leftover champaign and leftover Italian bread and that can only mean one thing: mimosas and French toast for NYD brunch. Now I just have to wait for Jeff to wake up.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm just going to drive up to Devon and see who's open.

If my Vietnamese neighborhood is any indication, you'll find that EVERYONE is WIDE open.

Last night every douchebag and his douchebag friend was out, but I found out that there is an escape--O'C@ll@han's on Hubbard has a bar on the 2nd floor that you access through a door marked "Employees Only" and it's industry-only and therefore way way less crowded and somewhat less douchey and the drinks are cheaper. Hoorah.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

And it's industry-only every night.

crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Can I go?

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy New Year.

I had a completely, totally sober, in fact damn near motionless New Year. I recommend trying this at least once. Julia says hi.

Then at about three Julia's roommates came in all giddy and making noise, including later the noise of two very large lesbians attempting to get it on on a creaky futon. Comedy.

And it's industry-only every night.

The conversation must be insufferable.

Jeff... (Jeff...), Monday, 1 January 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

OR AWESOME.

Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 1 January 2007 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Depends on the industry. Restaurant and bar workers: awesome.

STFU all of you, Daddy's head hurts.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Suck it up, son.

I think Hepatitis C is attacking my head.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I sympathise quite a bit. Not at the moment, but your description is exactly why I can't abide champagne.

they call me candle guy (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Champagne is teh evil. If you're feeling fancy, have martinis all night. For all its evils, gin is still a better hangover than champagne.

they call me candle guy (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Gin and tonic until about 3 and then switched to Grand Marnier. At 4 we went back to my co-worker's house and drank Champagne. I love Champagne. I'm drinking some right now. And I do mean stuff from Champagne, France.

I don't think Julia likes the Marx Brothers as much as I do. She kept saying, "This is so silly!" I mean, with a smile on her face, but still. Silly is an understatement.

The "Going to War" number in Duck Soup, where a huge grand room full of people sing and dance about the joys of war, and end up writhing on the floor like some vaudeville version of Guernica... wow.

they call me candle guy (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

the marx brothers were fun.

happy new year all.

JuliaA (JuliaA), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know about you guys, but there's no way I could drink martinis all night. That's why I finally took up Bud.

Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 1 January 2007 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Liquor then beer, never fear.

It took me a long time to figure out that the reason that rule works is because if you start putting beer on top of liquor, you're going to have to go to bed soon.

Speaking of hangovers! My favorite morning-after scenario ever:

Movie line of the night, from Foreign Correspondent: "If you knew how much I love you, you'd faint."

That's awesome.

* Jenny's squash risotto was great. I was full and I still ate seconds.

* The Descent and A Scanner Darkly = both worth watching, I'd say. Neither is genius, but both were entertaining and successful at what they were trying to achieve (A Scanner Darkly = trippiness, The Descent = scariness).

* Driving to J&J's house = a bad idea. I don't know why I did this, even after Jenny told me not to. Nowhere to park. Ended up parking at Damen and Addison and taking a taxi over.

* Taking a cab at 1:30 A.M. on New Year's Day = fun. Lots of stupid drunk people standing in the street trying to hail your cab even though you're already in it.

JBR and I tried to get a car service home, but they were charging FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS for a $15 trip. We got out of the car and took the train home.

Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 1 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Champagne is better with orange juice in it!

When Amanda and Dan come back from EUROPA I think we should schedule another karaoke outing.

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

That's such bullshit! Champagne is delicious!

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

No it's not! Shut up you stupid cow!

Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Monday, 1 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Shouldn't that be, "fucking dyke"?

they call me candle guy (kenan), Monday, 1 January 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I still don't get the deliciousness of champagne. But Jesse and I have had this argument before, and I'll not revisit it.
