Lol I read all posts since Dan's pic thinking this was the secretly fascist thread. Makes more sense to me now.

the little bits of skrillex i've heard sounded alright. pretty simplistic but i get the appeal, it's basically like a boilerplate loud-quiet-loud alternative rock song but played on synths

there are some really nice pop hooks in there too, which are really what set him apart from everyone else doing big aggro drops.

Kr and I were gonna go to Jay-Z- and Beyonce-approved Great Lake Pizza tonight, but apparently it is closed on Tues. :/
― jaymc, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
we stayed right across the street from there on friday

Great Lake's the bomb. Just follow the Hot Doug's/Schwa/Alinea protocols and play by their rules.

Yeah, we've had it before, so we were looking forward to it. I think we're just going to go to Hopleaf instead and hope it's not too crowded.

Not a bad idea, but I think they're doing a special Valentine's Day prix-fixe tonight.

for all of my yakking about romance, i don't really celebrate valentine's day
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:17 (twelve years ago) link
we're not doing anything special today tomorrow or yesterday
yeah I should say our plans for tomorrow are not really vday related, just the best opportunity for our dinner companions to get a sitter and escape their 11 month old for a while
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:19 (twelve years ago) link
For us, it's mostly just an excuse to go out for a low-key weeknight date. Nothing candle-lit or rose-petaled, and no stuffed animals or Mylar balloons.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
we do a low-key v day as well - our tradition is to make cupcakes (which we did in springfield this past weekend) - tonight we're making dinner and dessert and we'll probably watch a movie or something.
but friday is our first ever date where we'll be hiring a paid babysitter to watch evie. i think we're going to go to the bar/pie place on lincoln to eat pie and drink.
there's a new bar/pizza place around the corner from my house. their website isn't updated yet though. they just opened on sunday: http://brickschicago.com/BigBricks/

It's a Walgreens. State and Randolph in the same building as the Joffrey Ballet.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link
Oh! There's a Bricks on Lincoln and Armitage with a basement entrance that does not look like a place where you should be going. Their pizza is really good. I'm glad that the Big Bricks is open now.

no v-day plans here either, just our regular tuesday night potluck with friends.

Jeff's in Houston (and I think he might have been traveling this time last year, too) but even if he weren't, the day would likely pass by unremarked.

Yeah, Big Bricks looks like it could be good.

This will be the third v day in a row where we have stayed home and made a recipe called "hot date with a chicken". A tradition is born.

that is, in fact, the recipe.

I didn't know until recently that you can't copyright recipes, so like every one ever is available online
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
somehow the fact that you can't copyright recipes was one of the first things I learned in library school.
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
I had no idea. I guess this is why people can reproduce Cook's Illustrated recipes on 1,000,000 internet blogs.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
you can't copyright recipes only secret ingredients
― the third kind of dubstep (Jordan), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:05 (twelve years ago) link
you can't copyright ... a feeling
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
iirc you can borrow one though
