yeah I should say our plans for tomorrow are not really vday related, just the best opportunity for our dinner companions to get a sitter and escape their 11 month old for a while

For us, it's mostly just an excuse to go out for a low-key weeknight date. Nothing candle-lit or rose-petaled, and no stuffed animals or Mylar balloons.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
we do a low-key v day as well - our tradition is to make cupcakes (which we did in springfield this past weekend) - tonight we're making dinner and dessert and we'll probably watch a movie or something.
but friday is our first ever date where we'll be hiring a paid babysitter to watch evie. i think we're going to go to the bar/pie place on lincoln to eat pie and drink.
there's a new bar/pizza place around the corner from my house. their website isn't updated yet though. they just opened on sunday: http://brickschicago.com/BigBricks/

It's a Walgreens. State and Randolph in the same building as the Joffrey Ballet.

Oh! There's a Bricks on Lincoln and Armitage with a basement entrance that does not look like a place where you should be going. Their pizza is really good. I'm glad that the Big Bricks is open now.

no v-day plans here either, just our regular tuesday night potluck with friends.

Jeff's in Houston (and I think he might have been traveling this time last year, too) but even if he weren't, the day would likely pass by unremarked.

Yeah, Big Bricks looks like it could be good.

This will be the third v day in a row where we have stayed home and made a recipe called "hot date with a chicken". A tradition is born.

that is, in fact, the recipe.

I didn't know until recently that you can't copyright recipes, so like every one ever is available online
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
somehow the fact that you can't copyright recipes was one of the first things I learned in library school.
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea. I guess this is why people can reproduce Cook's Illustrated recipes on 1,000,000 internet blogs.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
you can't copyright recipes only secret ingredients
― the third kind of dubstep (Jordan), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
you can't copyright ... a feeling
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
iirc you can borrow one though

Just discovered that the Fugazi/Shellac/the Ex show that I attended a few years before moving to Chicago is now available from Dischord

Pretty excited about this tbh.

the band i've been playing in (@dvance b@se) has an album coming out may 1 on the label run by mark kozelek (red house painters, sun kil moon). i'm on four of the songs, playing autoharp on three and omnichord on one. you can read about it here: http://www.caldoverderecords.com/
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 16 February 2012 03:27 (twelve years ago) link

― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Thursday, 16 February 2012 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
Hey, cool!

Nice!
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Thursday, 16 February 2012 03:55 (twelve years ago) link
i don't feel a lot of ownership about it since i'm only a few songs and basically just strum-a-strum an autoharp, but it's cool to be on an album that some people might hear, and owen's going to put out the vinyl on his own so i'll be on an actual LP record for the first time.
we're playing at the burlington in logan square on monday night. i know it's a monday but it's also president's day so maybe some of you have the day off. i know i do.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 16 February 2012 15:18 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know why you are minimizing your participation -- if i danced around with bells on my feet on any recorded thing i would be stupid excited about it! i don't have no stinking president's day off what kind of world is this?!
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Thursday, 16 February 2012 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
I want to find a way to get you into the recording studio with bells on your feed.
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Thursday, 16 February 2012 15:37 (twelve years ago) link

i've never heard sun kil moon or red house painters, but i do like the retribution gospel choir record they put out.

red house painters reminds me of a very certain time in my life, and this song always makes me weepy for some chemical/chord-related reason

i am also excited to be on wax this year. need to get my turntable fixed, there's something weird going on with the tonearm (maybe the weight?) where it skips on the first couple songs on a record but is fine near the end of a side.
