― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

but it's messed up and makes weird noises instead of working.

Cool!!

you can get a really cool, shimmery sound from the vibrato by turning the speed way down and putting the intensity at about the 10 o'clock position.

I think I played a wedding there once. :>

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

before i fixed the ground problem on my jaguar if i had the vibrato plugged in it sounded my amp was breathing. it wouldn't happen if i linked the distortion or flange though.

Spider solitaire doesn't give me the same thrill it used to. :-(

I haven't played my guitar in such a long time. When we take breaks at practice, I jump on the drums.

It smells in my office and I'm pretty sure it's not me. There is a cover for a sewage pipe in the middle of the floor.....

i went and saw two friends band play at the bottle last night, my friend jon was playing a danelectro bass and it made me think of sarah. their songs were good but they couldn't play them. it was their 3rd show ever, their first in over a month and they had practiced exactly once since their last show. too bad, if they could just get through them they'd be a lotta fun.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

and by "couldn't play them" i mean "couldn't play them without one of them making a noticeable mistake at some point". the aural equivelant of a pothole on the freeway.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

I keep telling myself I need to get out more and see more bands. Last weekend I planned to see B0x S0cial (@ Pontiac down the street) and Klax0ns (free at U.O., also in my 'hood), but after our one Grand Rapids show Friday night I was just dead the rest of the weekend. La-ame.

Thanks for thinkin' of me.

I wish it were time to play the show and there weren't 5 1/2 hours of work and then equipment moving before then.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

hey hey, frank kreusi resigned!

this can only be good.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

either that or we had NO IDEA how f'ed up the cta actually is and our collective heads will explode at how bad it will be.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I heard that on my way into work. I forget the name of the "high-level" advisor that is going to replace him already...

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

mayor's chief of staff ron huberman is replacing him in the interim.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

actually it doesn't say it's an interim position...

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

Dude actually has a masters in Social Service Administration... hm, might not be a bad thing. How connected do you think it is to the Olympics BS?

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, my first thought on hearing that Kreusi is out, even after all my "HEAD ON A PLATTER" demands, was "Oh shit, what if this next guy is even worse? Maybe we've made a terrible mistake!" I'll call that Daley Syndrome.

Oh hey FFs, I saw Ben last night walking down Wabash. I said, "Hey, Ben!" and he totally didn't recognize me and I said, "It's Jenny, Nick and Sarah's friend" and then he said OH HEY! and gave me a greeting hug, which I thought was nice (I'm a hugger, if you all haven't noticed), and then we had a really nice two-block long walk and chat. And that's the story of the time I saw Ben walking down Wabash.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

All this brunch talk is making me want some serious brunch food. Brunch is my favorite meal of the week, for sure.

Nick, where did you get your pho?

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

I MADE IT (I linked to the recipe upthread)

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

Ben must have the same thing I have where I can't recognize people out of context.

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

BEN TOTALLY DOESN'T REMEMBER ANY OF NICK & SARAH'S FRIENDS EVEN THOUGH WE SEE HIM ALL THE TIME.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

er, xpost.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm jonesin' for some Tokyo Lunchbox today.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Mornin' Chicago. This Noisettes album is really floating my boat today.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

So, Jenny, can you make brunch Sunday? 10:30 @ VB?

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

I think I can make brunch on Sunday. yay! I love brunch.

― horseshoe, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

:-)

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

You know, I think the brunch buffet is becoming a lost art.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

I usually get plenty of food in a regular brunch meal without spending the extra mula on a buffet though.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I do usually end up eating myself sick at every buffet ever.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

I am almost certain I can make it to brunch at VB on Sunday at 10:30. I will give you a definite response shortly.

Sorry I missed the pho recipe - It was in the skipped messages no woman's land. I am impressed with your moxie, Nick. For me making pho is like making sushi in that I can't justify the effort when five minutes on a Broadway bus will deposit me in the pho wonderland of the world.

I should finish that sentence in case it's not clear: ...where I can buy pho that is 1000x better than any I could make at home.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

It was really great. He even set up the goods on the counter, so you could decide what you wanted in your bowl: broth, noodles, scallions, tofu, cilantro, sauces...

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yay for Grand Mart (and Nick)!

Inspired by John's Easter food, I will try making a Moroccan stew sometime soon.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

Also on tap: KOREAN PANCAKES & THAI SPRING ROLL SALAD.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

We need to take more food photos.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Like pho photos.

(sorry for flickr pics, Kevin)

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

Woah! How did it taste?

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

that's ok dan, EVERYTHING is now blocked (except picasa).

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

It tasted very good! Next time I will put more hotness in it because it was not quite enough, but M@ttttt had a package of whole garam masala spices straight from India that he toasted and ground up, then I used them and it was the BOMB.

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

I still haven't totally gotten over my aversion to vietnamese food caused by walking down argyle street every day for a summer.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I would, however, in the near future arrange for my diet to consist chiefly of Thai, Middle Eastern, and Indian food.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

TO arrange

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

The Korean pancakes that Kr and I made didn't really turn out, although we're not sure exactly why. They tasted too starchy.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

anyone up for a visit to the hc tonight? i kinda want to go, kinda don't want to go.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

i have this cool book about the chemistry of food and cooking, but i forgot what i was going to look up in it.

anything with freshly toasted/ground garam masala sounds AWES.
