SILENCE OVER THERE

WE'RE GOIN HOME

wine bottle's low, watching for the snow

it will delight you to know, Ned, that I gave your librarian colleagues some work about an hour ago.

^^^bastard

sorry, i'm leaving too. but now i have to go to penn station, which is going to be hell on earth

it will delight you to know, Ned, that I gave your librarian colleagues some work about an hour ago.

When we are recording tonight I will have things to say.

"work" = "HI! I was notified that my interlibrary loan book arrived. Can you...?" "Sure."

So far in my big day of just watching movies, I've knocked down ... one and a half.

i'm going to be working on a big freelance thing throughout the holiday, so rah. however, i am currently roasting turkey drumsticks for the collard greens i'm bringing to a potluck tomorrow.

I just killed 30 minutes figuring out how many Pearl Jam concerts I have been to

only 2 hours and 50 minutes left to go
FUCK MY LIFE

answer: 15 since 1995

Pfft. And you say you're a fan.

my only pearl jam story is the time I left a festival because I didn't want to see them play, and then eddie vedder's ex-wife crashed our restaurant reservations

cool story bro

:)

xxpost mr veg & his friend have seen them like 30 or 40 times, total deadhead territory

it's like their sphere was going to fuck w/my evening one way or another

on another note, I snuck out of work and am on the couch at home

i wish i was on a couch at home

instead i am on a chair at woooooooooooooorrrrrkkkkkkkkk wwaaaaaah why god why

pearl jam

Got sprung from work early. Didn't stop me from doing no work whatsoever while there.

you're all jerks imo

Actually, I got into a conversation about Pearl Jam with a coworker. Do you happen to remember who opened for them in 2000? I thought it was Sleater-Kinney, but my coworker thought Jesus Lizard.

Off work today, but it's not all good. I'm forcing myself to get thru Computer Chess.

Sleater Kinney opened the 2003 tour iirc. In 2000 it was Sonic Youth -- I double-checked online, they did a few dates with Supergrass as well.

Ah, right, I thought Sonic Youth had opened, I just had the year wrong. Thanks!

Sleater Kinney opened the 2003 tour iirc

True! It's the only time I saw either band. Also, for the encore, S-K, Steve Earle and Cheetah Chrome all came out and played Sonic Reducer.

Oh no, wait. Cheetah Chrome played on Sonic Reducer (duh!) and S-K and Steve Earle came out for Fortunate Son and Rockin in the Free World.

Good show.

i only saw pearl jam once, at lolla '92, jones beach.

not too shabby!

Twice for me in 1992, Lolla out here and way earlier in the year, at the second Rock for Choice show ever...

got off work 2.5 hours early, was mad i couldn't do more work :(

saw the Sleater Kinney-PJ show in '03, at which I had the pleasure of standing behind fans yelling "Get these dikes off! PEARL JAAAAMMMM!"

ughhh

seeing them as middleaged lame douchebros now slightly makes up for them now but still, they were always the worst part of pj shows

they give themselves away when they hi-five over "jeremy"
