There is a soundgal that works at the Empty Bottle and Schubas (or maybe she was just filling in at Schubas with Le Frenchie was on vacation). I forget her name. She's really nice, though.

Frenchy at Schuba's = "F@b"

When the FFs were just starting out, we practiced a few times in his basement, which he rents out as a rehearsal space. The last time we were supposed to go there, we found out we had gotten our own space so we just didn't show up at his space. However, there was a $20 fee if you didn't cancel before an hour before your reserved time. Sarah kept trying to go back and pay him the cancellation fee but I wouldn't do it. Flash-forward to last year when we played at Schuba's, Frenchy was our sound guy and we got really paranoid he would recognize us and a) demand his $20 or b) intentionally fuck with the sound to "get back at us." It was pretty ludicrous.

Jordan, don't tease.

Haha. REVERB REVENGE!

Our sound guy in Grand Rapids last week told us to call him "Hillbilly."

Chev Chelios looks like sissy compared to Chris Chelios, 'specially if you take that gun out of his hand.

Do you have a bald British dude crush, Laurel?

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

#1 crankiest profession is surely chef, no?

they're cutting the grass on campus for the first time this year. i stood in the middle of the quad and just breathed deep for a while after i finished my cigarette. made me feel pretty good.

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

I have a Jason Statham crush, which I assume is what you meant. That movie sucked, though, even by my standards.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

dammit, i really want to go out tonight but am broke broke BRO-EK.

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

I don't blame you, he makes bald & stubbly work for him like many men only dream about.

I actually thought the movie was a pretty good time, but then again I saw it on the day my ex moved out and I spent all day in the theater.

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

I am listening to fake fictions, and I think I like this band. Have you heard of them?

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

where did i read that the bald-dude look was the combover for the new millenium? because that's fairly otm.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

nah, because the bald dude look isn't nearly as hilarious.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

but it is though, that's kinda the point.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

if you are going bald, esp at a young-ish age, it is the only dignified way to deal with it.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

:(

(I say this as a future bald man)

god you people....

You could always go the Mr. Hooper route, I suppose.

That would have potentially put me in the hospital. The breathing deep of the cut grass, not so much the cigarette.

where did i read that the bald-dude look was the combover for the new millenium? because that's fairly otm.

I have said that often, possibly on ILX, but I did not come up with it myself.

― Jenny, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

dudes i need a hobby.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

one that doesn't involve pouring beer and/or gin down my gullett.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

The difference is that I do not love the combover.

Kevin: Whittling. Will keep your hands busy.

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

I could show you how to crochet. It's very soothing.

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

I need more toys in my home to keep my hands busy. Like, a Rubik's Cube and such.

Kevin, I didn't even know you played guitar, so that's something.

This thread is killing me http://www.ilxor.com:8080/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=60&threadid=5847#unread

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

There's a guy I work with who has a really sad combover. It sort of epitomizes everything that I find depressing about him: he's been working for the company for 25 years and only got promoted to supervisor (i.e., a non-hourly position) like two years ago. He also talks very slowly and deliberately.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

Knitting/crochet is brilliant for giving you something to do with your hands, plus hats for everybody!

I'm going to learn how to knit one of these days soon. I'm kind of excited about it.

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

i just remembered what i wanted to investigate and i just looked into it but it's not really a hobby.

xpost- knitting would either be really awesome or i'd drive myself absolutely insane.

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

omg giant isopods now have a permanent place in my nightmares.

xp to Kevin - yeah, there's an element of obsession to it at times that is both scary and comforting. Like, "Wow, I sure am kind of obsessive almost to the point of mania about this, but it's yarn! Yarn is benign and wonderful!"

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

ooh! The bunny!

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

jenny it's more along the lines that if it isn't something i totally love i'll wind up getting really frustrated. but then i still have this compulsion to finish something when i start it so i wind up just compounding my frustrations.

god i wish the weekend were here. NEED DRINKS ASAP.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

Your new hobby has arrived:

Best idea ever!

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

GET A DOG AND KNIT A SWEATER FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Building mailboxes for dogs!

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

OMG THAT DOG

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

check out that little mailbox man's cheeks. they're plump.

― La Lechera, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

Breed dogs for mailboxes!

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

i have been resisting getting a dog because with each passing weekend it's more obvious that i can barely take care of myself. i was supposed to go out to san diego july 3-8 to see my dog and whats her name but now that is up in the air and i'm all ;_; because i was really getting excited to see my little man.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think having a young man to take care of will help you substantially in taking care of yourself. You will have no choice because you would never ever let that tiny man down.

Dog has seen better days.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

i did look after my upstairs neighbor's dog and his sister (the dog of a mutual friend of ours) last sunday, it was fun having them out in the back yard playing fetch and crap like that.

xpost- can't take that chance. ;_;

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know about that Amanda, that's one step away from having children because yr lonely/bored.

This is why I have cats. Cats are not hobbies, though. They are... objects.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

Cats are bros.
