not going to listen, or I may never go to Chicago again

It is a really terrible song!
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
That.... it was just so terrible!!
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
I'm honestly fascinated by how terrible it is.
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
I immediately blamed Rahm.
You expect these things to be not-great, but that was JUST AWFUL!
I was really hoping that the cut off word in the URL was "awesome" (chicago-has-a-new-tourism-anthem-and-its-beyond-aw,73085/) but I think the person actually wrote "it's just aw,723[095u12!!"

that was barf

I mean "Go Cubs Go" is about as terrible but it came from a terrible time and it should be a fucking warning to never be so terrible again.
;__;
fucking hippie jam bands
― Silky Slim (dan m), Thursday, 26 April 2012 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
talk about misnomers too -- there is nothing hippie or jammy about that song whatsoever

That is terrible. Maybe they want to cut down on tourism this year?
I started reading Electric Eden on the plane yesterday and I can already tell this is going to make me want to buy a lot of records.

check spotify before you spend too much -- lotsa stuff there, esp classical composers

Oh yeah, that'll be my first stop. I was wishing I could've accessed it while I was on my flight to listen as I read. Really great stuff so far, but I've only just now gotten to the introduction of Lomax to the story.

Hey dudes, what's up?
― Jeff, Friday, 27 April 2012 12:24 (twelve years ago) link
I had a dream about Mayor Rahm last night. We were at a party and he got too drunk and I was trying to help him call his goons to pick him up, and he wanted to go in the kitchen and eat so I took him there then went to collect his Blackberry and his jacket and tie that he'd taken off when he was dancing. I was trying to think of a way to ask him to help me get a job when my alarm went off.

hi guys. i feel pretty good today after a week of feeling crabby and irritable (primarily due to shitty sleep)
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
Hi n/a. Congratulations.
Slow day at work. Anyone want to lunch with me? I am pretty sure that I can be in the Loop at almost any time.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
i could lunch but not til 1:30 which usually seems too late for everyone else. can't switch my schedule around today, unfortunately.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 April 2012 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
having to take care of drunk rahm in a dream seems tiring
― mh, Friday, 27 April 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
I think I preferred Daley to Rahm. Both are pushy dicks, but Rahm is more actively so.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 27 April 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
Gonna have to agree with that aside from my longstanding opposition to nepotism in politics.
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Friday, 27 April 2012 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
It was! He was a mess. Leaning on me to stand up and we had to keep stopping so people could take pictures.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 27 April 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
I wish it were February and we were having a huge blizzard.

Haha I just saw the most awesome walk of shame guy slink off the El at Belmont. 20-something, looked like shit and was wearing a beer-stained t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops. When the train pulled in, he was leaning against the door with his eyes shut. LOL
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Saturday, 28 April 2012 13:41 (twelve years ago) link
R had a similar guy on her train to work recently. Said he passed out and half fell down, people were freaking out and calling the train operator trying to get them to stop but it was really obvious the kid was still drunk from the night before, reeking of booze etc.

Alternative titles for the Central Lake View video:

Also, TS: Central Lake View song v. "Chicago"

Which hotel did you end up at?
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Sunday, 29 April 2012 06:15 (twelve years ago) link
Damn, I was near Jake's at 8 but just saw this now.
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Sunday, 29 April 2012 06:16 (twelve years ago) link
We were never really at Jake's. I dragged the Erica, the husband, and the 'rents to the Billy Goat below Michigan and Wacker. You know... the real one.
We drank until Erica's husband loosened up a bit, which is a good bit of drinking.

Eazy - the Conrad. It is pretty nice!

Great location -- puts you in the middle of things. The Jazz Record Mart is about two blocks away, very fun place to browse a bit.
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Sunday, 29 April 2012 16:03 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah. It is p great.

The mayor’s casual-look upgrade included a laid-back meeting at his City Hall office. That’s where personal denim adviser, David Shelist, owner of popular jeans boutique The Denim Lounge, took Emanuel’s measurements for the perfect casual fit.

I think Rahm having a 31" inseam is vanity sizing. No way dude is that tall.
― Jeff, Monday, 30 April 2012 13:28 (twelve years ago) link
everything about that guy is phonyi should know, considering my background and continued high standing in the denim advisory industry.

hi guys
do you ever wish you could be banned from all of ilx except for the chicago threads? i do.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
no, most of ilx I find so aggrieving I hardly ever end up looking at it
― Silky Slim (dan m), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
the problem is i get really bored at work and i have no self-control
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
I have never wished that. It's not too hard to avoid threads I don't like. Maybe you should just poke yourself with a thumb tack every time you enter one.
― Jeff, Monday, 30 April 2012 15:16 (twelve years ago) link
I think the key is to stay off of the threads that people who basically ilx ~all day~ frequent
