jergïns, Saturday, 29 September 2007 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link

jergins, I'll text you if it looks like we are going to be able to stay awake after 10:30. We almost got the old place cleaned and finished off today, but not quite.

Matos, v. sad we did not come last night, but there was still SO MUCH crap to move out of the old place.

Jaq, Saturday, 29 September 2007 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey, bring back that pig, you moving guys! I found my needle nose pliers and sidecuts!

Jaq, Saturday, 29 September 2007 23:08 (sixteen years ago) link

lxy's going to meet you, and then picking me up at work. i'm sure she'll have a handle on whether you guys are sticking around. (and if she wants to go home. and if i'm just shot after another 12 hour day. house managing YAAAAAAY but man am i tired)

jergïns, Saturday, 29 September 2007 23:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Doesn't look cheap enough to be real.

The Reverend, Thursday, 18 October 2007 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link

it is the most boring storm ever

lxy, Thursday, 18 October 2007 23:14 (sixteen years ago) link

hello seattle 48 deg and damp october morning, i kiss you.

Also, Harry Shearer is at Elliott Bay Books tonight at 7:30. Any ILXors attending, plz come to our new place for a drink afters?

Jaq, Saturday, 20 October 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link

jaq: nice to see you around. was thinking about you the other day. (we are pumpkin carving this evening??? so yeah) i still want to go to the indian movie theater. and more importantly, see your place.

ilxors of seattle: if you ever want to come to the ballet, email me. seriously. there's a great show going nov 1-11.

jergïns, Saturday, 20 October 2007 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Harry Shearer was interesting and the questions following were pretty good. The Writer's Guild is going on strike in 2 weeks or so; the fate of the Simpsons is uncertain; the crowd was aghast. Something tells me the audiobook would be funnier than the text version of his novel Not Enough Indians, but I got a copy anyway.

Bollywood would be awesome. I think I'll be back home in December sometime? <sigh>

Jaq, Sunday, 21 October 2007 06:09 (sixteen years ago) link

in berlin i listened to his v v partisan only occasionally funny npr broadcast. it made me love him more and hate him more. the voice soothed though, every week. and he'd do a shout out to 'mighty 104.1 berlin' which gave me :)

people still care about the simpsons?

i just want to think of him as derek smalls because it's unlikely that any person could be more perfect.

jergïns, Sunday, 21 October 2007 08:07 (sixteen years ago) link

He played a bunch of stuff like "Marley Purt Drive" on that show when Maurice Gibb died, so big points for that.

I'm also down for Bollywood.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Sunday, 21 October 2007 10:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I am now back on Capitol Hill. Some of you partied at my house after EMP. Lower Queen Anne was great but it's good to be close to my friends and stuff again. (Stuff = belongings.) Anyway, haul me in on Bollywood as well.

Matos W.K., Tuesday, 23 October 2007 00:19 (sixteen years ago) link

What with the fires in California, it looks like I'm here until at least 11/5. (going to see Art Brut and the Hold Steady on 11/4 - anyone else?) Does Bollywood this weekend work for people? Shows at 9 Friday, 5 and 9 Saturday, 3 and 7 Sunday (g00gle for Totem Lake Cinemas).

Jaq, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

hello all. i miss posting on this thread.

Mackro Mackro, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I don’t know exactly what they were trying to convey, but the results of my informal poll of people trying to catch their busses home yielded a tally of one person whose opinion of Hillary was lowered, three people whose opinions were raised, and one person who called me a “fucking bitch.”

Mackro Mackro, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Is that you, Donut?

The Reverend, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link

jergïns, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link
