Sure did! Couldn't go too esoteric on everyone (had to cover an age range from 14 to 92 including mainstream, baby boomer, and the odd drone rocker or three). The full track list is on one of the wedding music threads.

Congratulations on getting married, Chris! You look very dapper.

Robyn, I used to have that exact same Totoro pic as my computer background too.

Didn't realize my camera could do this fancy business until just now:

Spent a good deal of the last five years in this bedroom. Within a few hours it will no longer be mine, tears, etc etc.

So long as you keep the guitar.

First one I ever built, it stays with me :)

a very devo pose

Congratulations on your release!

I must say that prisons are very plush these days. But remember that you may be shunned by certain sections of society, as you have a criminal (Tom Jones) record...

Me too.

Everyone's pictures are awesome. I love the pose and the guitar.

Ok, this is actually for real my last post for the next month-ish (or sumthin like that) until we get the net hooked up. Moving starts...NOW!

Bye guys :)

*waves*

YEAH that so didn't happen. Guy who was occupying the room I'm moving into is in there and still asleep (sort of a shifting space thing going on), hadn't moved a thing, which is ridiculous because he's known the specific plans for a week and was reminded again yesterday of the situation, a bunch of garbage is blocking his (MY) door, broken window down the hall, grate thingy ripped off the chimney and thrown off the roof, and when another roommate woke told him I was "moving in right now" he goes, "Now? Yeah I work today" and goes back to sleep.

So 3/4 of my stuff is just strewn about the house and there's a going away party for another friend of ours there tonight.

I've ponied up rent and he hasn't.

I was actually supposed to move in LAST weekend but there was pretty much a similar version of what just went down, minus the stuff broken, and my things weren't all packed up and waiting in a car outside. It's been known I was moving in for months and when we try to plan it nice and neat-like when the time came, then this fucking shit.

</vent> Gyah.

cool photo neb

It's also worth mentioning that Elvis Telecom very much resembles one Bill Frindall in that pic. Not that I expect many of you to know who Bill Frindall is.

No, but I have google...hey you're right.

those are not capri pants, hurting.

we played on the beach for a cookout, but when it got dark i was afraid my drum had been washed out to sea. then we played for a friend's wedding there the next day (same beach Goonies was filmed on!).

N/A IST RAD.

Also, nice tat.

That is so cute your mom got that for you. My mom still buys me Edward Scissorhands stuff, even tho it hasn't been really coveted by me for a good ten years. Or like she got me a grey & purple striped shirt for xmas last year & said "I'm sorry it's not black and white," like I'm still all babygothics. <3 moms.

Raggett, I like your look - you should wear a tie more often! I bought a couple of skinny ones myself the other day, though not purple.

good call! but surely the acceptable face of wedding-friendly drone-pop?

So *I'd* think. But not conducive to dancing.

was it ever there?

it's still there

it says photo deleted and then there's a little photobucket logo on mine

It's there. Don't get too excited.

but surely that's not the same guy as in the hot chip glasses photo? Burt?

Both are me, it all depends on the camera angle.

hmmm

Don't think too hard about it. Hot chips glasses dude was some dumbass who showed up on my Facebook news feed, courtesy of my old New Jersey friends from highschool.

though I'm not sure that's better or worse than me looking tired and spaced out.

Both IK,R and jed look very different this month. (Not in bad ways, that is not what I'm saying.) I feel like I look the same. So no pic from me.

good hair, jed_!

Ljub's pic is good, and I am a big fan of scrambled eggs; in fact I just finished some myself.

Nath - that's the younger daughter, right? She looks a lot like O!

She does? I see very little resemblence. The opinions vary. Ranging from "OMG SHE'S EXACTLY THE SAME!" to "Weeeeeell, you can tell they are sisters." Me, I tend to think E looks like my husband and O more like me. :-)

Also, Jed looks AWESOME with the hair and glasses.

i think they definitely look like sisters! then again, people run the gamut from "wow you can so tell you guys are sisters!" to "you guys are sisters? really? biological sisters?" with me and my sisters so yeah... i guess opinions vary.

beautiful eyes for sure

but Casuistry, I do live in Toronto.. where and when did you meet this lookalike?

also, burt & elmo (if I made the right guesses) are supercute! I love that picture.

baaderonixx, you looking quite good there as well. love the fedora (?).

is that what a fedora is? i always wonder

yeah, baad - v nice!

andrew, you make me squee. awww.

At a poetry thing. But I'm FB friends with her, and she is not FB friends with other ILXors, so I'm assuming, no.

Elmo's are what they call bedroom eyes, aren't they?

Okay, crazy! I am not a poetry person, so probably not me. I also sleuthed and found your name is Chris and can't recall meeting a Chris lately. I'm also not FB friends with other ILXors though. Is she tall? I am 6'1" and obviously, intrigued!

looks more like a trilby

haha we were in a bedroom, yes -- the bed itself is up right next to a 3rd story window overlooking casco bay -- quite the fancy digs (n.b. we did not stay there)

goodness wutexi you're tall as me!

YEAH FUCK YEAH

oh wait that's a water bottle, not as cool suddenly

perfect Rabies, that means I can still run off with you for remembering 'wutexi'!

a water bottle full of GLUE and SPEED ok not really xpost

At a poetry thing. But I'm FB friends with her, and she is not FB friends with other ILXors, so I'm assuming, no.

at first i thought FB was Fuck Buddy.. and not facebook.. errr, right? Facebook?

I am not, AFAIK, fuck buddy friends with any ILXors either :( I'm pretty sure he meant Facebook though.

fuckbook

Once I misheard someone and thought they said RACEbook so now whenever I hear Facebook I can't help but think of the other.

Maybe we've just turned silent in awe of your pretty picture.

Now that I doubt.

hahaha. You know I'm pretty sure ILX is fairly overrun by babes. The ones willing to post their faces in WDYLL, anyway...

Oh, you shouldn't.

(x-post)

I'm really not a babe. That picture is the first time I've ever even let someone near me with a camera in over 4 years.

You don't make your boyfriends put up with this kind of act, do you

Never had one.

hmmm. maybe you're just negating things. Let me state some sort of scientific principal and see what happens...

There are three states of matter: solid, gas, and liquid.

And Melissaaaaaaaaa......RESPOND

What about plasma?

Sorry, I meant three main states of matter. That test didn't work out so well.

I'm just really self-conscious and I feel like people are making fun of me when they call me pretty.

See, when pretty girls tell me they've never had a boyfriend I think they're making fun of me...

Lol this is getting ridiculous, I'll stop exacerbating the situation.

Melissa, you're pretty. Fact. End.

See, when pretty girls tell me they've never had a boyfriend I think they're making fun of me...

Definitely wasn't making fun of you. Just stating a fact of my own.

(And I suppose the picture is very misleading.)

Melissa, you're hot. Deal with it.

^^^otm. melissa if you were size 0 it would probably look stupid, freaky and unnatural, right now you have absolutely nothing to be dismayed about

just sayin'

Jaysus Karl is turning into a wizened old man like really quickly.

Oh so I'm the only pervert, awesome.

You were beating Tuomas comfortably Rabies, but you just can't legislate against a "just sayin" like LJ's.

"beating"

Col Poo, two days ago, that pics isn't with the 65 year old Charlie Harper, is it?

It is, yes!

What does this mean exactly?

Come to Chicago! You, too, can afford an apartment like this. The equation is, the farther north on the Red Line you go, the bigger the apartments get, so there's a direct relation between apartment size and travel time. The rent equation is slightly more complicated, but not much. Go north, then north, then north again, and you will find something larger than you ever expected to be able to afford in a large American city.

Also, the camera adds ten feet. :)

Colonel Poo, is it compulsory to have a picture taken with Charlie Harper in Blackpool? Every single year my husband and pals (none of whom went this year) come back with "look, we met Charlie Harper" tales and pictures, when really, given frequency of these encounters, I'd be more surprised if they managed to *not* meet him. I'm glad to see you carrying the baton in their absence.

I believe it is some kind of rule, yes. He is ubiquitous, like some kind of Punk God.

The equation is, the farther north on the Red Line you go, the bigger the apartments get, so there's a direct relation between apartment size and travel time

same goes for the farther west from state street. by the time you pass wicker park you have ginormous apartments that were built for families back in the '20s or whatever.

pre-war architecture frickin' rules. This cannot be overemphasized.

i like those glasses on you. it is like you are in a sterile room from the 50s but with photobooth.

I think that photo is what the patient sees on waking up just as Dr gbx realises he's sewn his pager into the patient.

August means 'this restaurant is probably closed'

the past 3 pictures are all of the same person

yeah i hope gbx stays on ilx despite the med school craziness and i hope i stay on ilx despite whatever b/c it's going to be fun to come up with half-assed jokes about doctoring, like how i wanted to call him Doctor Nerd-Styles up there

i just made a resolution to drastically cut my ilx intake by like 90%. the review session i went to a minute ago was totally fucking terrifying. :-/

i made a resolution to drastically increase my alcohol intake in minneapolis this weekend, are you in y/n

Heh thanks guys. They're a little weird and distorted looking and RS looks like he'd rather be doing just about anything else but I can't pass a photobooth without taking pics esp if it's an old style one like that was.

zach your wrist

great lakes celebrating 20 years this month! palpable buzz through out the area

there is?

Sur - He agreed to take the pictures because I drove his ass four hours total to the largest arcade in the world for a belated birthday celebration. So, obv I look like the perfect wife b/c I am the perfect wife. ;-) Or maybe it's because my haircut looks a little middle-aged in those. It's not in real life. Anyway, I like the last one best myself.

ENBB – smoochles! Awwwz. And yr hair does not look middle-aged, step off.

ZS you are a handsome young man.

i saw a smashed great lakes bottle right outside my building this morning...that wasn't yours, was it!?!?!?

most people in my hood don't drink great lakes, at least not outside.

damn, all these good-lucking motherfckers. where do i get my uglies on?

great lakes brewery! awesome

Yeah, Great Lakes is all over Chicago. I'm a fan of the Burning River and Holy Moses.

zach your wrist

I know, I know. I try not to look at them, whenever possible.

super cute, ENBB!

no they're cute! mine are tiny too but i don't know if yours might be tinier. but i accentuate mine with bracelets which i feel isn't your thing.

Ok here's another wherein I tried to take a nice civilized picture with my bro K but things got a little out of hand when his wife and RS showed up and crashed the session.

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c287/expatrica/bffsf.jpg

Those last two frames should have had fists flying and broken glasses. Don't fuck with the photoshoot!

The woman front left in the Zimmermans has hands like an Irish labourer!!!

our bottom left? I thought she looks like Meryl Streep!

Look at the back of her right hand. And the guy in the middle in the black jacket looks like a distant cousin of Luke from Big Brother.

zen teacher??

very good example of Photo Booth getting it right, great angle, great haircut.

Dear Ed,

I know where that is and I hate you.

Best,

Dear Gab,

The weather was balmy and I wished we'd had time to rent kayaks.

Remember, never try and rent a kayak in cold weather and expect to stay warm, because you can't have your kayak and heat it...

Where is that, Ed?

Nathalie, they aren't lying, you look fab! Did you want a BOB because of Bob, one of the stars of the KITTEN!!!! thread?

mw,

it is Deception Pass in the Great State of Washington

washington is awesome! ed, you should go kayaking at the 56th st boathouse sometime!

Stan, nope, I wanted a VERY short haircut but didn't want/dare to ask. I just sort of let the hairdresser decide. So when she said short I agreed immediately even though I had told her I wanted a bob. hah. Hey, dude, you going to see MGMT in De Vooruit? I think you should. Would too but I think it's on a friday when I have my tennis lessons.

Hey, dude, you going to see MGMT in De Vooruit?

Nah, don't think so. I don't live in Ghent anymore (near Mechelen now) and friends who saw them at Pukkelpop weren't extremely impressed with their show there ("nice but boring"). But thx for the tip!

Poolside with rosé and cigarette

Michael White enjoys Big Pappa Cigarettes. They enhance his confidence, give him that extra edge. Women notice.

ljub, i think your beauty still comes through in the second pic!

when did rosé get so trendy?

OTM (but also when did i start loving it to much)

4-5 years ago

Never had it. So I should, then?

Rosé has always been a good summertime drink!

no doubt. i just noticed i see it a lot more recently. i.e. trader joe's replaced the entire bottom shelf of their chilled wines endcap with rosés.

it's August

definitely, they've been wine-tasting it to pieces at the local place

nickalicious drinking goose island?

disappointed that Michael isn't in suit (but with feet still in pool)

Oh God what I would give to be in that pool with a drink and a cigarette right about now.

mhmm!
