thurston has bad taste in friends

intermittently bad, at least
i'm sure some of his friends are ok

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.

off-message otm

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

erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 19:57 (nine years ago) link

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

syro gyra (get bent), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link

the bar in the sunsphere is really yow

jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 20:12 (nine years ago) link

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

erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 22:01 (nine years ago) link

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.

erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 2 October 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link

so otm

jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:03 (nine years ago) link

you know i'll be there
although last year i think i drank a total of 3 beers all weekend
3 beers and one whiskey, actually

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

jello my future biafriend (roxymuzak), Thursday, 2 October 2014 19:26 (nine years ago) link
