don't be frightened of soundbar! IT'S AN OPEN BAR FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! OPEN BAR!!!! the clientele will probably be somewhat scarey but not in an quaking-in-my-boots kind of way.

Yeah, you know, I tend to watch TV shows on DVD late at night and so I rarely watch more than an hour at a time.

DON'T GO TO SOUNDBAR YOU GONNA GET RAPED

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

lol @ reviews of Soundbar...

ohhhhhh NO NO NO NO NO capital N capital O

this place freaks me the fuck out. First off, you have to pay twenty dollars for the honor and privilege of even walking through the door. This I did not do. I don't do that. I also don't do bars that have VIP anything. This drives me INSANE. the whole dance club thing drives me INSANE. Since when is going out an having fun a competition?

Everyone in here is dancing (dry sex) and clad in designer clothes purchased half off at filene's basement and trying to lure you into their vip table section with bottles of vodka.

dont even bother trying to use the bathroom. someone's doing coke in it.

What's so scary about the Soundbar? Oh, okay, I googled it and they have a photo album.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, if I'm not working on music, my main weeknight activity as a single dude is watching dvds.

― Jordan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:09 (seventeen years ago) link

However, the bit about the bathrooms being unavailable due to illegal drug use is true of so many places, it's really hard to choose one to blame.

― Laurel, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

doesn't anyone have any pioneer spirit anymore?

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I find Soundbar scary but I am not afraid of it, if that makes sense. I look at it like an anthropological expedidion with lots of booze and slutty people.

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link

people will wonder how the fuck we got in, and that's pretty cool.

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't wait to see EZ tempting us with a bottle of vodka from teh VIP section.

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

exactly dan, well put. so is it going to be me, dan, and eazy? christ, what a sausage party. BRING SOME TALC, WE'RE GONNA GET THE MEATSWEATS.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

LOL

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

bring some coke and it won't be a sausage party anymore

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

WATERFALLS

― kenan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Sarah and I might or might not come.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

But I don't understand what we're supposed to say to get in: "YES HELLO I AM WITH THE ERIC Z13GENHAGEN PARTY I BELIEVE YOU ARE EXPECTING US"

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I said I was going to be there. At least I'm planning on it.

Also HORSESHOE.

― jaymc, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Or just whisper "Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiegenhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagen."

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I think you just say "I'm on the VIP list. Ziggy's the name."

― jaymc, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Exactly, Nick.

designer clothes purchased half off at filene's basement

That's me! Though I do 60% clearance off the original 50% off.

― Eazy, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Apparently anyone in my party will get a wristband that indicates FREE DRINKS TIL 10:30 at any of the bars in the establishment.

― Eazy, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I own one pair of pants that aren't jeans or corduroys. I maybe, MAYBE still have some terrible slacks left from my last "business casual" job.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

And I'm bringing a few honeys.

― Eazy, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh wait, I guess I have my WEDDING SUIT.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

May I ask (if you don't mind) how you ended up on the list of this booty dance club? Or is that better discussed around the table tomorrow night?

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Powder-blue tux?

― jaymc, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm wearing hot-pants, was there a mention of that in the dress code? will my beanie, satin halter, hot-pants and roller-disco skates be ok? i'm going for a venice beach/elton john circa '78 kind of thing.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate fancy clothes. :(

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

AND MEDALLIONS, I WILL BE WEARING LOTS OF MEDALIONS.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

i may shave my head in the classic male pattern baldness shape for this.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Have any of you guys (Kevin) heard of the Reptoids?

― Jordan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

DO IT. Especially if you're still rockin' the 'stache.

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

The Reptoids practice, or used to practice, in the same building where we practice. Their fliers are very bland and ubiquitous in our neighborhood. I have not heard them. But they seem like they might be cool.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the reptoids are a local hard rock band. and flyering machines but their flyers are always the same so i never know if it's a new show or a show that happened 2 months ago.

dan- stache went away a week ago ;_;

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Thx. The 0ptimistic is playing a show with them tomorrow night.

+ the show got a nice write up in the Onion

- the show is in the basement of a pizza place

― Jordan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

+++ the show is in the basement of a pizza place!

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

duh

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be sure to dress like Corin from Nashville Pussy.

― KitCat, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I wish pizza places were the default rock show venue instead of bars.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd rather come home smelling like tomato sauce and grease than shitty beer and cigarettes.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I mentioned our Soudbar expedition to my roomie, who said his boss had gone off on the place when she went there (under similar circumstances to our own):

"it's like bad mix of cocaine, calvin klein, and sad old man desperately clinging to their 20s"

AWESOME

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

No mention of "no jeans" on the soundbar page so I think I am in the clear.

― n/a, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i wish in order to have an entertainment license you also had to have a pizza license. can't have one w/o the other. that would be awesome.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Good point Nick, but I'm trying to keep my expectations low because if I don't get free pizza I will be crushed. :(

― Jordan, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. The only decent pairs of slacks/dress pants that I have are in dire need of dry cleaning and there isn't time.

― dan m, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I'M ACTUALLY HOPING I DON'T GO TO MILWAUKEE NOW.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link
