I am very much looking forward to seeing the KV doc! What's it called? And is Powerhouse Sound in it? Like I've said, that sounds like an ass-kicking and promising lineup (as long as KV has written some tunes for them).

Yenny: I wish I could, but I get off work at 4 -- can't you be there earlier?

Yes, PS is in it! It's called Musician. Like Sheriff. Tentatively scheduled for 2007 is Truck Driver No joke.

I hope that it gets accepted to some festivals and/or we score a plum Chicago screening. Maybe with q/a?

Sweet. He can release a dvd boxset of all three called "The Dudes with Jobs Trilogy" or something.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 7 September 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Hopefully there will be more than three, and they won't all be dudes. That's the idea, anyway. Turkel + Wiseman.

I get off work at five. BOO! I am saying 5:45 because by the time I get out of the office and wheel my books over to the bar, that's probably closer to what time it will be. (Yes, yes, my books are in a wheelie bag today and for that I apologize most sincerely. I only do this when I have to.)

i'm probably going to take a pass as i'll be heading up to the holiday club later this evening. unless you want to go FROM old timers TO holiday club. it's only a few blocks away from your new digs i'd imagine (i don't remember your exact address).

Is this Weekly Drinks? I can probs make it next week. I will make sure that I can, in fact. (Barring any surprises, of course.)

Who's Turkel? I was about to say "SOMEONE's got a Frederick Wiseman fetish."

The jass boards are hip to it:

Oh, duh, Terkel. Studs.

Sorry, I misspelled?

And boards! I'll have to tell the mister!!

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Wiseman figured heavily in our courtship. [html for hearts]

Misspelled yeah, but I was also being dense.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

OH that's right. I forgot about the Holiday Club. Sorry Kevin - I was being dense there. Intellectually fucking lazy, you might damn well say.

John, could you take it to the Holiday Club?

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, 'manda, I have a friend with a wall projector (and a big white wall), so if you wanted to do an underground screening for your homies, we could do it.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

This could well be the start of weekly drinks, I daresay.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

My only plan was to be home by no later than 8:30 so that I can drive down to Subterranean for the comedy show. I don't care where I am beforehand. Old Timers and then Holiday Club is fine because it's roughly on the way back to my place anyway. But I'm also probably not going to drink too much since I'm driving.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, if you're having weekly drinks next week, you can count me in. Tonight I have to grocery shop and get ready for class tomorrow.

Thanks EZ -- I'll tell the mister.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I am really making the most of my downtime here, aren't I.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I was thinking more Holiday Club instead of Old Timer's. I don't have it in me to go to two bars with a wheelie bag full of books and then go home and clean the bathroom. But I'll go either place. I know Jeff would prefer Old Timer's. Dan mentioned wanting to go downtown, so perhaps his preference can serve as the deciding vote.

I feel bad for taking Kevin's drink offer and hijacking it to a different bar. I totally didn't mean to do that - I forgot he'd mentioned the HC.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm cool with either. I am sort of curious about Old Timers, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, if Kevin doesn't hate me for it let's go to Old Timer's.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

So is the scheduled Bathroom Cleaning Night, or is it an urgency-based project?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

no worries jenny but this should definitely be the start of our standing appointment for beverages.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

let thirsty thursdays commence!

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

WHEEEE!

Jordan - we have company coming tomorrow afternoon and I have to spend the morning doing laundry and homework. So the bathroom needs to be cleaned tonight.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, John, XEB was reading the NYer with your comic in it, and when I told him about your caption he agreed it was better than any of the recognized ones.

Also, this is the Production Department; I probably curse more than any of my colleagues but no one looks askance...WE UNDER STRESS, YO.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

That makes perfect sense, Jenny. Those are about the only circumstances under which I do hardcore bathroom cleaning, unfortunately.

Last weekend I finished my book before the plane ride home, so I bought a New Yorker, and thought of John.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, you guys hoist one for me since i'll be on the redline heading up to sheridan while yr at the bar. as long as it's not that malort stuff. that stuff tastes like a hangover feels.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, John, XEB was reading the NYer with your comic in it, and when I told him about your caption he agreed it was better than any of the recognized ones.

Fuck yeah. At least the one they chose was MARGINALLY better than the other two lame ones. (And sorry to hear about the breakup, L.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, thanks. It came out of nowhere in the first place, right? I will not worry.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 7 September 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I would like to go to Old Timers or the HC. I'm sad.

I'm on an emotional roller coaster here, but not the kind that do loops; just the kind where you sit in it and go up and down hills. Probably the metal variety, though occasionally I think it might be the wooden kind, since I feel rattled and jarred at times. I'd say it's a fairly tight wooden emotional roller coaster. There are no tunnels either. As far as the theme of the roller coaster, I guess it would be "Flood-Ravaged Railway Ride" at Six Flags Great Deluvia. Each car only seats one.

I've just been informed that there is a possibly SPURIOUS write-up of my band in the free weekly. I'm going to go get one. Details to follow!

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Awesome: Elizabeth of C4n4st4 is going to be on Check Please sometime in the next couple months.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

convince her to review white castle!

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

'cause that would be really funny to make the other reviewers have to go out for sliders.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, it's not as bad as I expected, but it's still inaccurate. We're playing a show next week with Sl4vic Soul Party from NYC, and trying to hype it up a lot. They listed the show as being only us, no mention of SSP, and then they gave us Youngbl00d Brass Band's standard blurb: "The globetrotting Mama D1gdown's jump off tour long enough to roll through some of their brass-powered hip-hop hybrids for their hometown peoples."

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

She picked Mitsuwa Marketplace.

LOL @ Alpina Singh talking about what wine goes with chicken rings.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I am also sorry, Laurel. :(

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:46 (seventeen years ago) link

We swear a lot in my group, too. PRODUCTION BROS W/ LAUREL!!!11

I saw my alderman on Check Please recently. Go Manny! He picked HUE. I think it might have been a rerun.

I will be at Old Timer's this even. Possibly even early, as our database server has crashed.

My talk in front of the editors went well, until it was screwed up by said server crash. But I got a brownie and some laughs out of it.

"Spurious" is one of my favorite words of late, ever since I saw it used by an astronomer to describe the reviews of his work.

LOL @ Alpina Singh talking about what wine goes with chicken rings.

seriously, wouldn't you love to be known as the a-hole who made everyone go to white castle? not the loftiest thing to aspire to, i'll grant you but then again ambition killed ceaser so there you go.

Thirsty Thursdays are the heat.

Eazy to thread pls: Patricia Barber - C/D?

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2006 11:53 (seventeen years ago) link

how long did the innaugural thirsty thursday last? 'cause i didn't wind up leaving my house until much later than anticipated and didn't get to H.C. until much later than anticipated and didn't leave until much later than anticipated.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 12:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I think we were all out of there by 8.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 12:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Nick and I watched Lost and then went to SubT to see the comedians. It was a good time. My smile muscles are sore.

― Queen Sarah Saturday (coco), Friday, 8 September 2006 12:59 (seventeen years ago) link

John, did you stay for the band?

― Queen Sarah Saturday (coco), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Note: I did not clean the bathroom. But I'm totally going to right now.
