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

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

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

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?

Let's get drunk and go to Stella.

That is perfectly acceptable.

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

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.

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

That is patently false. The Wu-Tang clan > any other headliner they could come up with except for Prince and maybe Daft Punk. (Did you see them, Bimble?)

Anyway, Saturday works just fine by me. A word of warning, though: to get into the comedy stages, you must wait in line for hours beforehand. My attempts to get into the Trapped in the Closet panel were in vain all three days last year.

(hours that could be spent getting drunk, you know)

Anyone have suggestion for a Indian grocery somewhere in metro Seattle? All other Asian foodstuffs are covered, but I figure there's got a big Indian grocer somewhere.

Also, any good Filipino restaurants? I've never eaten at one and Seattle apparently has a pretty big Filipino population, right?

There's a point-point place on Beacon next to El Quetzal, something Kitchen. The best Indian grocer is supposedly over on the eastside by Crossroads Mall, haven't been there but several friends swear by it. I'll get the name from them.

i knew jaq would have this in hand :)

Okay, the Philipino place is Kusina Filipina, 3201 Beacon Avenue S. (El Quetzal, next door, is also really good for atypical mexican fare - I think it might be the only place in Seattle that does huaraches.) And the indian grocery is Apna Bazaar, 2245 148th Ave NE in Bellevue.

hahaha jergins!!! :D

Hey, big favor: is there anyone closer to the festivities who could possibly accommodate me Sat. night? If not, it's not a huge deal, just a convenience thing.

Rev, are you allergic to cats? If you don't mind being way the hell south (at the end of the 48 bus route, basically - Rainier Beach area), you're welcome to stop with us.

Hullo, SeattILX!

:D

No problem with cats. And you are less way the hell south than I am way the hell north, so good enough for me. Thanks for the hospitality. Would you please send me an email with all the specifics, like address and phone and such? Will you be Bumbering at all?

xp: Hullo, Laurel!

I don't think I've thanked you guys properly for feeding and entertaining me? THANK YOU. You are all treats, all.

Laurel, I always thought that where ever you were would be a party, and now I have proof :)

Rev, we'll be there all 3 days, staying to the end on Sat for Gogol Bordello, and getting there early enough on Sun for Fergie wristbands and maybe to see The Trucks. check yr ILX mail for details shortly.

I didn't have computer access that week but I texted Jon at one point that SeattILX GAVE GOOD FAP and asked him to pass it on, but he prob didn't, unless you are noise bored readers...so I thought I would pop over and say so.

SeattILX FAPs like a rockstar.

Jaq: Alright, I'll meet you there tomorrow. : D

hey, thankx laurel. it was great to have you over. hope you come back!

FAP on Saturday at 4? 4.30?

We want to see the Saturday Knights - they're over at 5, would that work? The only other thing we're definite about seeing Saturday night is Gogol Bordello, and they don't start until 9. Where to FAP?

Someone above said Two Bells. There's also the McMenamin's nearby.

Jaq, Jill wanted your e-mail address. Could you send it to me?

jaq at jaq dot com

hahahaha :) NOT!

Check yr ILX mail Timi Yuro

Got it, thanks.

4/4:30/5 works for me. Only thing I'm steadfast on is Rodrigo y Gabriela, but I may be dissuaded if someone can convince me Gogol Bordello is more worth seeing. I think I'm gonna get a wristband for Panic! at the Disco, just to see an emo cry when he can't get in. Actually, I like them. I might check them out.

Senor Rickey, would you email me your phone number?

So around 4:30/5. Apparently need to leave time to stand (tipsily) in line for Stella. Two Bells or the McMenamin's on Roy or?

who is stella?

I have been wondering this, too. Where is 2 Bells?

Just not that faux-scottish place, it is annoying.

Also, HELLO! I am practicing w/ the gin tonight.

2nd and bell! xpost

oic! it was code!

Hmmm...this puts a bump in the rug

*We regret to announce Stella will not perform at Bumbershoot 2007 as previously listed; Michael Ian Black will perform instead with Special Guests.

Yeah, I noticed that on the schedule. He's a third of Stella.

Bumbershoot really doesn't interest me this year, I'm afraid. Not that that really disappoints me cause I've had plenty of good fun the past three years there. The only thing that might push me to go is seeing Roky Erikson but that really doesn't make me want to pay the full price to get in, either. Of course it's possible that by Monday I'll change my mind.

I still don't understand where this FAP is supposed to be. There's plenty of stuff at 2nd and Bell isn't there? Or are we talking about this place called Two Bells at 2313 Fourth Ave?

Okay, 2 Bells @ 5 unless changes are made prior, in which case txt plz kthxbye!

I'm considering wearing my lavender crocs w/smartwool sox - if you are going to hate on me, plz be creative about it :D

Hey Seattle people, we have a bunch of stuff to get rid of. If you want any of the following, drop me a note:

3 CD shelves (IKEA - blue and cream, hold approx. 75 CDs each. 4' high x 1' wide x 8" deep)
upright vacuum cleaner (w/ cyclonic action! bagless, works fine)
2 tables that make great desks (approx. 3'x 5')
Sony Vaio desktop PC w/ 17" flatpanel
3 short bookshelves (cheap, from Target)

jaq,

so excited for you!
