any reasonably inexpensive second-hand places in lakeview area aside from flashy trash and the white elephant or whatever it's called?

sorry for all these questions.

Are you a man, Amateurist? If so, the Belmont Barbershop is good. Young punky guys running the place, but old school all-around. Hot lather/razor on the neck and all.

john -- will you zip up your year-end mix and send it to me? a disc at a time will be fine.

How are you liking/hating Madison?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

reasonably inexpensive + lakeview? does not compute.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I probably won't get there tonight until 7 or so.

Am, I get my hair cut for exactly $35 by a woman named Leanne at Orbit Salon. I don't know how full her schedule is, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, and if you get your hair cut at the Belmont Barbershop, you can walk up to the Village Thrift at Roscoe and Hoyne afterwards.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Kenan, I can zip. Remind me if I don't do so within the next few days. Audiophile warning: some files, if I didn't download them from Limewire, are 128kbps.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I recommend Gabby's for a haircut. $12 and they do a good job. Go to Kathy or RJ. Clark Street just north of Diversey. Google it.

I first heard of the Belmont guys when they added me to their myspacepage.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:08 (seventeen years ago) link

hm, clark and diversey--that's about where i'm heading anyhow. nice.

No pool table, but it's more on the beaten path.

very long overdue xposts:
Sarah, do not fret about BMI. Seriously. Also remember that as you exercise, your muscles develop & stuff. They're heavier. Also, I've seen a couple different versions of BMI calculators, so I don't really trust in BMI b/c I don't think it's always standarized.

Yay Socks!

re: Amanda . . . I think she gets back on the 6th? She had an autoreply on her email & I think it said the 6th.

I'm going to see Babel tonight, did anyone like it?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, Kels.

Is this an accurate TT count?: John, Courtney, Jenny, Jesse, possibly Jeff, horseshoe, Dan, possibly Dan's yooper friend, & possibly amateurist (!). Otto?

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i'm gonna be at work for a while but i think i'm gonna try to go.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeez louise. If amst is going to be there, and also everyone in the world, maybe I should drop by and say hello.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I liked it but with reservations. I was also not in the most emotionally stable place when I saw it, though, so I don't feel as confident about my opinion as I otherwise might.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 4 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

You know what? Who am I kidding. I'm not going to be there.

I do like you people, though.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Thursday, 4 January 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, i'd be there for that but the rain. can't stand the rain.

So.. I ordered these 2 presents for Nick on a popular website where you can buy books, dvds, whatever you want... back in NOVEMBER. I never received them. I called today and they said I should have gotten them 2 weeks ago, so they're resending. Then just now a postman came by my office and delivered the package. I was like wha wha whaaaa? Sure enough, it's the original package. Immediately afterwards, I got an email from THATSITE saying my replacement order just shipped. One of the two items was supercheap but the other would be worth @$30. I guess I have to tell them and send back the second one, huh?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yes.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:07 (seventeen years ago) link

That's a tough one, Sarah. I guess I would start by sending them an email saying that you recieved the package in the mail but two weeks past the due date is ridiculous. I would apologize for the mix up & for their having to send out dual packages, but that you would like some kind of compensation.
Or, if you're not feeling honest, you can either: return package two & ask for a refund or take contents of package #2 to a store that doesn't require receipts (like borders) & go to town.

― Sweet Tater (kelstarry), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Also quite frankly if you were expecting them as Christmas presents you might consider just keeping the 2nd shipment. I ordered from REI for xmas and, even though my items happened to arrive in time, because of weather & air travel the company PREDICTED that they'd be late, so they sent me $25 credit anyway. Don't think I'm not going to spend that credit just because the package arrived!

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

can we have tt at my office? would you guys mind picking up some beers and coming out to the western 'burbs? 'cause i could really use one about now and i don't think i'll be getting out of here anytime soon.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

It'd be totally awesome if Kev's work blocked all those websites and forbade office xmas presents but was just fine with a bunch of random people showing up and getting drunk on the premises.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i'm guessing they wouldn't be so cool with it actually. we'll need to hide out in the big conference room or downstairs in the file room.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, there's a chase bank on one of the irving/sheridan corners, right?

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

What's that cocktail lounge between Forest Park and Oak Park, just south of the last stop on the green line? That would be a good place for TTs.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I might send a grumpy email or do nothing. I guess I should wait and see if I really do get the second package first. Since the first package was officially 'lost in the mail' and they didn't require a signature, I think they would be none the wiser. BWAH HA HA.

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost I seem to remember, hazily, you finding a worthy bank when we were up there once before...

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

omg grades are starting to come in. Thank god this afternoon consists of yoga and then beer or I would probably have a heart attack.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

uhm, if you mean the "nutbush" i don't think it opens until later. i've been there, turns out it's a gay bar. i was hoping it was a roadhouse whose name was some sort of homage to tina turner but no, apparently it's referring to pubes.

erm, xpost to eazy.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 4 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

There is this ATM outside of the Holiday Club...
