i'd be disappointed if thurston moore is the big draw tbh

otm. Thurston would make for a pretty boring festival compared to Kim/Lee
those look like Lee Ranaldo hands.

or hand. who knows! maybe the artist in residence is someone with only one hand.

The denim overshirt says Lee to me. Pretty sure I'd prefer his curatorial choices to Thurston's.

thurston has bad taste in friends

my bad, I meant he has it locked for next year. hopscotch 2014 was last month xp

I wouldn't be skeptical of Thurston's curatorial choices — I think he's more than capable of putting together a fantastic Big Ears lineup — but I think using him as an anchor would be a little... off-message I guess? Also I'm still mad at him and his recent music has been boring.

I think I want to go to this, because it sounds fun and I really want to have a drink in the Sunsphere.

i want to go to this next year. hate that i had to miss the last one.

the bar in the sunsphere is really yow

what does that mean? the bar in the tower of the americas in san antonio is pretty great, and the space needle was a great spot for a beer as well

like, uncool
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 16:15 (nine years ago) link
its very hair gel and HypnotiQ
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 16:16 (nine years ago) link
The normal rules do not apply to World's Fair structures. They have an inherent and timeless cool factor. If they stuck a Chili's in the Tower of the Americas I would eat there.

I also love that the "Icon Ultra Lounge" has a Kid's Menu
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 2 October 2014 16:38 (nine years ago) link
naw its like 1000 times less cool than a chili's because it's a very "cool" place
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
perhaps if I go on a Tuesday at 4pm
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 2 October 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link
i will join you for that drink, f. hazel. we can laugh at the uncool coolness.
― syro gyra (get bent), Thursday, 2 October 2014 18:15 (nine years ago) link
yay! if enough of us come, we can monopolize the quarter-round ivory leather couches.

so otm
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:03 (nine years ago) link
you know i'll be therealthough last year i think i drank a total of 3 beers all weekend3 beers and one whiskey, actually
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
i can also take yall places where there are bartenders who will serve you an actual drink (not a melted cotton candy) for less than $8
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:12 (nine years ago) link
very reasonably priced drinks in knoxville iirc
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link
not up the sunsphere
― jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:17 (nine years ago) link
one pop rocks-tini at the sunsphere and then to a real bar
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
ok, ok. there's also an observation deck you can go out on and avoid the bar entirely
