convince her to review white castle!

'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."

She picked Mitsuwa Marketplace.

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

I am also sorry, Laurel. :(

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.

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.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 02:34 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I made myself take out the garbage, clean out the litterbox, and sweep before leaving the apartment this morning.

― Queen Sarah Saturday (coco), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

That's amazing. Sometimes I feel compelled to wash dishes or sweep up the cat food in the morning, but I don't think I've ever cleaned The Boxes before 5:00 pm.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:23 (seventeen years ago) link

my head hurts so bad i'm not sure if this is a hangover or meningitis.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

What were you drinking last night, paint thinner?

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

John, did you stay for the band?

Nah, I was tired. I was just kind of waiting around for Renee when you guys left, since I was giving her a ride home.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:57 (seventeen years ago) link

i was drinking the best drinks ever and by that i mean FREE ONES.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link

ugh. i think i need a head transplant.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

oh kevin...

Bathroom is clean. Rugs are vacuumed. Random dusty looking things are dusted. Kitchen surfaces are wiped. This wee apartment is supah dupah easy to clean! Even though that was only a half-assed cleaning.

Because our new place is small, we are only using one litter box. Thus, we clean it twice a day because nobody wants to sit in a small apartment with a box full of cat shit. I thought the cats would grouse about it, but they are crapping as happily as ever.

Hey speaking of hangovers...

If our out of town guests are up for it, which I will know by early this afternoon, we're going to have some brunch at Tweet Let's Eat tomorrow. If anyone is interested in joining us, let me know. You can meet two honest to god Columbus, Ohioans.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Note: These out of town guests are friends from another internet that we've never met in person before so they might be assholes. But I kind of doubt it.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

The word "group" starts to look really weird with overuse.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

i was hanging with columbus, ohians last week! my ohians were good people though.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll bet people who lie to god are more fun than honest to god folk.

The word "group" starts to look really weird with overuse.

Semantic saturation is a cognitive neuroscience phenomenon where intense repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who can only process the speech as repeated meaningless sounds.

Thanks, Johnny Linguist.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Buscemi went bluer than I've ever seen him last night.

I was reminded of this by the word "linguist."

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha.

I'd like to see that dude. Good comedians are hard to find.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

is there such a thing as a good sports bar? is there anyplace in chicago i can go to watch a game, say tomorrow's bc/clemson game for instance, and not be surrounded by backwards ballcapped steakheads? i just want to watch the game, have a couple of beers and maybe a burger.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes. I know there is. Let me consult Mr. Party Time Country Female and get back to you.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Crew?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

this wouldn't be a problem if wls would show the goddamn best game of the timeslot instead of the craptacular iowa @ syracuse matchup.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

and not be surrounded by backwards ballcapped steakheads?

Crew still has those, but they are gay, and many of them are in "steakhead" drag (meaning, the frat-boy look is more a costume than a default look).

― The Pig on the Stairs (hanging in a groovy purple shirt) (unclejessjess), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Crew. That's actually the bar I was thinking of.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

crew is also a long-assed way away from my house.

I've been taking a lot of photos of my morning commute in the last two days, but probably the best one was one I didn't take: a craggy-looking man in a Hawaiian shirt driving a station wagon at the corner of Lawrence and Hermitage. May have had a cigarette in his mouth, don't remember.

look at the photo (x-post)

I didn't take it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

(I took it in my mind's eye.)

need one haircut. no longer possible to keep my locks out of my peepers. annoying x 1000.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Kevin - take the western bus all the way north to the Candlelite, at Western & Touhy. They'll take care of you, with plenty of TV screens and garlic fries and no mooks.

Thirsty Thursday was way fun - I'd never been in Old Timers before and had always been curious.

Jordan, thanks - guess I'd better build an argument for P. Barber. I agree with you that she's more outstanding as a pianist than a vocalist.

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 8 September 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

At first I thought you were recommending him a haircut place, which would be incredible.
