kevin/kenan: are you talking about my birthday party. i remember meeting kevin there, but no kenan. of course, there is a lot missing in my recollection of that party.

― sisut, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

I was there for about 20 minutes, but then I got in the wind all quiet-like. I was not feeling my best.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

that makes sense. i don't know how to use correct punctuation.

― sisut, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

kenan was there then said he was going out for a cigarette and never came back. it was very springsteenian of him.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

ha!

Because I'm just that cool.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan's like a river that don't know where it's flowin'.

But he knows what it means
to walk along the lonely street of dreams

IT'S THE ONLY ROAD I'VE EVER KNOWN

anyway speaking of leaving places, I am leaving this one. Bye Chicago. Nice to see you online, Katie.

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Friends, it hurts my heart to do this, but I am going to skip TT. I think we all knew this was coming, but it brightened my afternoon to think I was going for a beer with my pals at the end of my workday. My employment discrimination grade and my health thank you for your patience with me.

― Jenny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

i disliked eggs when i was little, so my family disguised them by melting so much cheese in with the scrambled eggs that they were more cheese than eggs. then i ate them happily.

now i like eggs, even (occasionally) hard-boiled ones. they're better devilled though.

xposts feel better, jenny! (i have a cold too--i am resentful every time the phone rings and i have to use my voice to talk to someone i'm indifferent to, because i don't have much voice!)

― JuliaA, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ha! Wow, M1nmae is one of the bands I actually know. Although they have all new people now. Their previous drummer was my band's previous drummer, who they stole from us. My bass player was their drummer a million years ago. Another of their previous drummers recorded our last two albums. They go through a lot of drummers. Anyway I like them, although I like Sean acoustic better.

― Casuistry, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:16 (nineteen years ago)

Although I'd never call them "quirk-rock".

― Casuistry, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

I AM LEAVING FOR THE BAR RIGHT NOW.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

(Actually I think Sean knows Ned from his SoCal days? I can't remember. Anyway I'll shut up about this now.)

― Casuistry, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

To answer a very old question--

Jordan, if you want to park cheap near the HOB, park on Wacker Drive, there are meters. There is also metered parking on Clark north of the river. Also, if you want to use my restaurant's valet, it's only $9. You have to pick up your car by around 11 or 11:30 (at35 W W@cker). The parking garages usually run around $20. Also, HOB might have valet.

― Jesse, Thursday, 12 April 2007 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

I meant FREE, not cheap--no charge for the meters on weekends. That ends on Sunday at midnight. People at my work have gotten $50 tickets marked 12:01. They are like sharks, those meter men and maidens.

The Green Eye is McDonalds' beer garden.

― dan m, Friday, 13 April 2007 04:36 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, Chris, I asked them if they had heard of your band and they said no. But that was the rhythm section, not the singer.

There was NO ONE at the show, because it was so early (it had been double-booked if I didn't mention it). Just a couple of rock bands playing for each other. We actually had a good time though, sat on stools, played some songs we'd never played before.

Then the bartender started buying us shots, and I met some friends, and the night is kind of a blur from there. I had my own little TT.

― Jordan, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

mornin motherfuckers.

How was the beer? Amber and sudsy?

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:52 (nineteen years ago)

plentiful would be how i'd describe it.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

good. good.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

How did the show go, Kev?

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

without incident.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

Did it go beyond that to funzone?

― KitCat, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

LOL. 848 just talked about how the Jarvis red line stop smells like pee in a story about the aldermanic runoff in that district. It smells like pee so bad!

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:23 (nineteen years ago)

The incumbent alderman is running on a platform of putting a Trader Joe's in Rogers Park. I'd like to hear Amanda's view on this.

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Woo no boss lady today. Hopefully even bigger boss man will skeedaddle like he usually does at some point in the day, as well. And that's when the pants come off.

Did anyone see The Daily Show last night? The book looked fascinating. About these crazy daredevil/scientist dudes who climb Redwood trees, like 350 feet high, and found a whole new complicated ecosystem up there, with its own plants and animals. Earthworms, even. Like, the tangled branches of the trees create another ground, and the animals that live there don't even know that it's *not* the ground. Weird. I want to read this.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, it sounds like all Joe Moore has to do is get the pee smell out of the Jarvis el station and people will be more content. Maybe I'll send him a bottle of cat pee smell getter outer that I've never used that came with Sample DeKuyper the cat.

― Jenny, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Man, I'm still hurting from going at it a little too long at Super Trivia, Week 2 last night. Our team was called on to go head-to-head in the light box buzzer machine lightning round, and I choked so bad. Missed all 3 of my questions, and they were all ones I could have potentially known, which doesn't usually happen.

1. What is the real name of the Day-O song?
2. What is the name of the fuzzy blue mascot from the Atlanta Olympics?
3. What is the outcome when a catcher interferes with a batter's swing?

How did I miss all of these?!? Too nervous.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

"The Banana Boat Song"

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

the other two i don't know

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

batter takes first base on catcher interference.

― chicago kevin, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

hmm.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

I have no memory of that.

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan, you should watch the Planet Earth series on the Discovery channel. They talk about the tops of tall trees in the Forest episode.

― Jeff, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

yeah those are right. i blanked on banana boat. and then i said a ball instead of going to first base. that one was really bad, because if i got it right we would have clinched the win, but instead they ended up coming back and tying us, forcing a final round where we won when they could not get the capital of south dakota!

as for the 2nd question, i buzzed in right away and said "whatzit," which i was totally sure was correct. but the answer was "izzy." i looked it up today and it turns out he was originally called whatzit and then they changed the name to izzy because whatzit was so bad. so i think that should have counted, but oh well. i went to some of that olympics so i should have known.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Have you guys heard this Charlotte Gainsbourg album? It's fantastic.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

5:55 is the one I'm talking about.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

I thought it was the whatzit too; guess I followed the run-up to the Olympics more than the Olympics itself.

Thought of you guys too hearing the Jarvis pee story this morn.

― Eazy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

why would i etc.

― Jordan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't heard that record but I do like me some Serge. Also enjoyed the Gondry movie she was in last year.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

Have you guys heard this Charlotte Gainsbourg album? It's fantastic.

tee hee I know what made you think of that! (Jarvis Cocker wrote the lyrics.)

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

Actually, I didn't know that. I thought of it because I was, um, listening to it.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Anyways - recommended.

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

oh, i thought it was too much of a coincidence, and i even posted a picture of jarvis cocker, and... it all fit so neatly!

― kenan, Friday, 13 April 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to be in town in 2 weeks to try and find an apartment. I noticed there's a decent show that Friday night with Brightblack, Jack Rose, and the dude from Lungfish, if anyone's into that sort of thing. I might try and go.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, I could be up for that if I'm around. I like Brightblack Morning Light. Is it at Empty Bottle?

― n/a, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

It is indeed. I've never been there, but I'm sure I will soon be going 3 times a month or something.

― stingy, Friday, 13 April 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)
