Seattle! How is it now? Are there jobs? Should I move there?

ooh, twist my arm! That's right by my house, too!

Freeway Park is a neat little place. I really like the canyon.

also, there are several movies being shown outdoors this summer:

we are totally going to In The Mood For Love

also c/d heckling minnie driver?

wtf is steam boy? (i know, imdb, but lingy u are so much more interesting than a database)

it's anime. i had never heard of it. had to look at imdb. it doesn't look interesting, but maybe someone has seen it and can tell me otherwise.

Dud.
But FAP at noon on a weekday? ClassiC! (--jill btw)

I feel a Friday off coming up. Haha, the higgs! - I thought you were gonna make us all guess when you jumped in here :)

btw, Monsoon Wedding - not yr typical bollywood (not enough musical numbers, only 2 hrs long), but quite fun.

lingbert u are my database. may i never overwrite u

hai guyz I have been trying to listen to Minnie Driver today and that is some Sarah McLachlan-esk stuff, over and over and over and over and over. The Chemical Brothers are routing it out of my brane now.

the heckling begins!

FREEWAY PARK FAP: minnie driver kills us all

btw i was joking about the minnie driver fap at first, but now that i think about it, it could actually be fun. i have to work that day though.

also, i think i'll probably go see jet li's fearless too

"joking"

I tried to convince Mr. Jaq with the "she's hawt!" argument, but he wasn't swayed.

maybe you could try:

"But Mr. Jaq, there will be heckling!"

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Minnie Driver? (Not that it matters, as I'll be in SF that weekend.)

Where to begin. She was in Grosse Point Blank and Good Will Hunting.

and where it will end we already know

I watch almost zero movies.

More outdoor movie fun: Havana is one of my favorit bars in town, mostly for the secretive entrance and nice dance floor. But now they're going to do movies outside, on Wednesdays, and you can drink out there too. The list (oh yeah now with added DJs):

Wednesday, July 25 — SCARFACE (1983) with Soul One

Wednesday, August 1 — DOGTOWN AND Z BOYS (2001) with Sean Cee

Wednesday, August 8 — XANADU (1980) with El Toro

Wednesday, August 15 — BLOWUP (1966) with DJs of the Emerald City Soul Club

Wednesday, August 22 — GOODFELLAS (1990) with Cherry Canoe and very special guests

BLOW UP is my pick of the bunch, if i don't see it at the Varsity next week.

och!--this is looking much better
can walk there, drink outside, not miss work to see mr. jaq-hated minnie driver AND ECSC on possibly/probably decent sound system

Free music/spoken word marathon tomorrow: http://gschapel.blogspot.com

i think i want to go to some of this. Free is important

Yeah, me too - Stewart Dempster, Amy Denio, and the group w/ Joshua Roman (23 y.o. principle cellist from the symphony - he has great hair) esp.

who is going to see daft punk

YEP :D

Jaq, we went to some of the festival of wayward music today. what a great room the chapel performance space is. we stayed for about an hour and soaked in the ambient and avant garde tones. you'll never guess who was there. A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE. it was kind of awesome, some guy messing with a Moog or hunched over a laptop and the blue hairs sat there and looked on. EXPANDING MINDS ONE AT A TIME. that was probably my favorite part. we saw one good guy though, Yann Novak, who played last year's Decibel Festival.

Hi guys!

Just a quick wave from me - there have been no noticeable breaks in the schedule here at the Clarion West bootcamp, but I thought I'd let you know about tomorrow night's reading at the SF museum. It's the last of the summer's CW readings as this is our last week (sob, wail). The reader this week is Samuel R. Delaney.

The readings are free and start at 7:30 p.m.

DAFT PUNK ROLL CALL

I'm not from Seattle, but I'm here for the week, and I'm going!

And Capitol Hill Block Party later today!

Cool! Hope you're having fun here. The Block Party should be great this weekend.

I'm going to Daft Punk. I'm also headed to the Cap Hill Block Party soon.

this is 100% unrelated to daft punk and the capitol hill block party, but you guys should go to the theo chocolate factory in fremont and take the tour. totally worth the $5. it's really interesting, and you (i did, anyway) end up eating a ton of awesome chocolate by the time you leave. and as an added bonus, the tour guide (nicole, maybe?) was cute.

Anyone for the Pogues, Lily Allen or UB40? I've got tickets!

Psychic TV were supposedly on the way, not sure now, though...

I'll try to make it down to Cap Hill tomorrow.

For some reason I was under the impression this was Sat-Sun, rather than Fri-Sat.

So, Mr. Jaq and I aren't going to the Daft Punk show, but Donut Bitch got in touch and is suggesting a pre-show meal, 3:30/4ish at Tamarind Tree (near 12th and Jackson in the International District). For some reason, DB is banned from posting to ILX, so that's why I'm posting this. Also, any excuse to eat at Tamarind Tree is a good one. Anyone needing directions/more info - get in touch. Let me or DB know you'll be there and we'll grab a big enough table.

i think we might be up for this. as you say, any excuse to eat at the tamarind tree.

we also found an amazing chinese place a block away: 7 Star Schezuan Pepper. i have no idea how to spell schezuan. it's at 12th and jackson, hidden in the upstairs of a run-down 2 story, and has to be the best chinese food i've had since i was in china. so great.

i need to talk to lingy and lxy, but we might come, around 5? 3:30 seems too early with the show at 8.

donut shouldn't be banned. that's just weird.

if you like electronic music, check out october:

oct 1 - ulrich schnauss @ crocodile
oct 2 - mt. eerie @ vera (k, not electronic, but still)
oct 8 - trentmoller @ neumo's
oct 12 - justice @ neumo's
oct 29 - caribou @ neumo's

Oh! I've heard of 7 Star Pepper, but haven't been there. Must go soon.

we'll drink mojitos 'til you and lxy get there :) The place gets crowded, maybe that's why donut was thinking so early. I tried the okra last time and it was nom nom nom.

okay i just talked to DB and 4 pm makes a lot more sense now. plan on seeing me and lingbert and lxy (though i still gotta confirm with them haha my presumptuousness) at the tamarind tree.

I will go to Tamarind Tree.

though i don't quite understand the 4pm meet up time. but i'm sure all will be revealed tomorrow.

db says it looks like djs at 630, rapture at 8, daft punk at 930. moves everything up some. he wants to get in there as soon as doors open. i want to drink between dinner and the rapture. that was a fun sentence.
