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

Lingbert, Sunday, 29 July 2007 04:15 (sixteen years ago) link

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.

This whole having a job thing is really messing with my ability to go to anything cool in this city.

clotpoll, Sunday, 29 July 2007 04:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Donut is banned? Woah. That explains why he disappeared then. Still, that is really weird.

Bimble, Sunday, 29 July 2007 05:11 (sixteen years ago) link

I should probably go see Justice. I didn't know they were playing here.

Bimble, Sunday, 29 July 2007 05:13 (sixteen years ago) link

jill i webmailed you

jergïns, Sunday, 29 July 2007 05:18 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm pretty sure donut's ban is self-imposed for the purpose of more efficient usage of time.

Lingbert, Sunday, 29 July 2007 06:58 (sixteen years ago) link

The Donut's not banned in real life, for sure. I saw him just the other night!

Anyone else going to Rufus Wainwright?

Lingbert OTM re: donut's absence. It sounds more like he hasn't been able to get registered, rather than being banned.

Anyone else going to Richard Thompson? Also, Nick Lowe is supposed to be playing in Bothell sometime soon.

Jaq, Sunday, 29 July 2007 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link

I will try to make this supper/luncheon/I'm-not-sure thing today. Hope to see you all there.

The Reverend, Sunday, 29 July 2007 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link

down payment on a 2 bedroom house in Seattle? also, cost of house, please. googling that stuff is dangerous. thanks.

youn, Monday, 30 July 2007 23:05 (sixteen years ago) link

What part of Seattle? Things vary widely. It's generally expensive.

Jill, so great to meet you and glad to hear the show was so amazing!

Jaq, Monday, 30 July 2007 23:39 (sixteen years ago) link

thanks everybody that was really fun! and wow the venue didn't suck like i thought it would

jergïns, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 02:07 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm going to be out in the woods near Gold Bar this weekend.

Kerm, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 02:12 (sixteen years ago) link

camping? tell us how it is. I have yet to make it up to that part of hwy 2.

Lingbert, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 16:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Hmmm. For some reason all my camping occurs up around Granite Falls/Darrington and not along Highway 2.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Or across the mountains.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link

hey Jill it was cool to meet you. Too bad we didn't know you before--you could have stayed at our house. Come back down from Vancouver if you get bored of the family and want to go out.

(Rev, good to see you too, sorry it was so short)

jergïns, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Kerm, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, definitely. Great meeting you, Jill! I hope the rest of your trip goes well.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

So long and thanks for all the... croquet

I am no longer in Seattle, so I suppose I had better take my leave of this thread. Thank you guys SO MUCH for having me and my little gang over for croquet and fun. I'm really sad I didn't get to see you again but things got seriously crazy in the last couple of weeks of Clarion and I pretty well couldn't see my hand in front of my face...

I loved Seattle & I hope to come back and sample more of its delights in future. I have loads of friends there now, yay!

love Z.

jergïns, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

cheers zora

hey kerm were you the one driving?

Lingbert, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:13 (sixteen years ago) link

No that's my roommate. I was in the passenger seat when he got it sideways though.

Kerm, Monday, 6 August 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Anyone going to see Devin the Dude on Friday? Concert's at 8, I get off work at 9:15, so I should be good, right? Considering that I missed/will miss Daft Punk, the Block Party, Bumbershoot, Mekons, life, etc., I should really try to make this one.

clotpoll, Thursday, 9 August 2007 09:05 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, you should be fine. showbox does seem to start a little early though so i'd hustle. i bet the reverend will be there. when i played 'what a job' at the party he went crazy

jergïns, Friday, 10 August 2007 18:28 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm not there. (Did I? I don't even like "What a Job" that much. Maybe it was just the right song at the right moment.)

The Reverend, Saturday, 11 August 2007 05:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Show was good, the Parker Brothaz and Dyme Def were fun openers, and Showbox security people gave up trying to stop people smoking once Devin came on. He played most of the expected stuff, though I wish he'd done more than sing the chorus of "Lacville 79." Not so fun was coming out of the show to find that a couple of people had been shot near the Market.

clotpoll, Saturday, 11 August 2007 09:18 (sixteen years ago) link

I flew into Seatac on Monday and yesterday at the most perfectly mountainous time (6 pm ish). Mt. Rainier, I <3 U! U 2, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams!

Also, the Safeway parking lot by us got the nod for the most dangerous place in Seattle last week. Still waiting to hear if we will be moving to Pioneer Square.

AUGUST 10--A Washington man's karaoke performance of a Coldplay song apparently triggered a female bar patron to attack him early yesterday at a Seattle bar. According to a Seattle Police Department report, a copy of which you can find below, Lindsey Lawrence, 21, assaulted the unnamed victim while he was performing with "two other subjects" at Changes Tavern, where patrons sing karaoke Wednesday and Thursday night from 9 PM until 1 AM. When the assault victim launched into Coldplay's "Yellow," Lawrence allegedly told the man that his "singing sucked" and that the song "fucking sucked." She then grabbed at the man's microphone and "pushed him and punched him in order to get him to stop singing," cops reported. When employees escorted Lawrence from the bar, she "became very violent" and struck several other people (and was hostile towards police and fire department medics who responded to the scene). Lawrence was booked into the Seattle Correctional Facility, where she is currently being held on an investigation of assault rap. It is unclear why Coldplay's music apparently made Lawrence snap, though a famous June 2005 New York Times appraisal by Jon Pareles may offer an insight. The critic called the British group "the most insufferable band of the decade," adding that, "the lyrics can make me wish I didn't understand English."

clotpoll, saw the story about the shooting this morning - it looked like it was the parking lot adjacent to the Showbox? Yikes.

Jaq, Saturday, 11 August 2007 16:40 (sixteen years ago) link

donut, and LA people on some thread, were talking about the yogurt craze __________ berry. i walked past crazy berry last night on broadway and will try it today and report back.

Blow Up at Havana outside this wednesday, 5 bux. i think this would be the ideal outdoor movie: looks nice, not much plot, doesn't matter if you go to the bathroom or talk to friends.

jergïns, Saturday, 11 August 2007 18:15 (sixteen years ago) link

also i can't believe this isn't the I-5 lane closure commiseration thread. thanks everybody for that!

jergïns, Saturday, 11 August 2007 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Ugh. I have to get to SeaTac on Weds. I'm going to make it very clear to the driver that FOUROHFIVE.

The Reverend, Saturday, 11 August 2007 19:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Rev, it's only the northbound lanes that are closed. You should be okay getting to Seatac on the 5.

Jaq, Saturday, 11 August 2007 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm drunk and I'm playing Joy Division and I'm in Seattle. Where do I fit into this thread? Finally we got some sun last night. Today is not bad either. Tony Wilson is dead did you know that? Tony Wilson is dead. Get used to it. Get your head around it. Try.

FACTORY RECORDS WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BumberFAP?

The Reverend, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Let's get drunk and go to Stella.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

That is perfectly acceptable.

Morley Timmons, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 04:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Saturday? They're @ 7:30 all three days

the higgs, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 04:19 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm all in favor of getting drunk, but I'm not planning on Bumbering and I don't know from Stella. Would certainly enjoy seeing y'all outside of the Center, though. Two Bells is always good for a break from the madness.

lxy, Wednesday, 29 August 2007 04:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Bumber should have an FAP, after all, they ain't got no headliners this year.
