Chicago: They paved a fetid swamp/and put up a parking lot

i was in andersonville yesterday, playing a backyard wedding reception. in and out, but it was a beautiful day and the couple made twelve pizzas.

Xp Yup. But this time Jeff and his nemesis, both of whom were scouting for their SOs who timidly stayed near the door, grabbed one each of two free seats. Then they had a guitar battle and although Jeff won, he conceded bc the nemesis was here first. Two minutes later, the seats next to them opened up. Ha.

Wow. You can't really argue with the fact of beers being served and food order being placed. (re what Dan said.)

Oh. I guess there was no food order placed.

I know, right? I was sipping my Alpha King (iirc) as I explained our seating situation.

Because I'm an ALPHA, you see... I TOOK those seats.

Okay that burger totally lived up to the hype.

Did you get the Dragon Dick?

I would say I trip over something and fall on my face on a quarterly basis. Just got my 2nd one of the year in. This time I was on the phone with D and I tripped, threw the phone, squawked like an animal, crawled over to the phone, picked it up, and continued my conversation.

xp The Neurosis. But toppings were kind of incidental, tbh. The burger itself was amazing. Also the bun.

AMANDA are you okay? Do we need to set you up with a life alert bracelet?

lol

i miss kuma's and i hate you a little right now, Jenny, but not really <3

I'm fine -- I trip over shit and fall on my face more than anyone else I know. At least this time I was inside and didn't scrape up my knees on the sidewalk :-/

Aww I'm glad you're okay.

I'm glad you're OK! Your description made me laugh and feel bad about laughing.

I ate Subway for lunch. It was great b/c it's cheap and the calorie counts are displayed. If you leave off the cheese you save 30 calories!

Are you thin now??

Haha I found an Kuma's onion in my purse.

i hope to have another kuma's breakfast in a couple weeks (got another wh1stler gig).

i got a wedding invitation from a co-worker. it was an embossed scroll. the wedding will be renaissance/medieval-themed and will feature feasting and tournaments (duh).

Are you going to dress up? Please?

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

uh i think so, my gf said that we would be assholes if we went and didn't dress up

i can use some clothes from the prince tribute show

Good, good.

Chicago people,

Freakin' Daisy Kenyon is showing this Wednesday 6/29 at 7:30 PM at The Portage Theater, located at 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave. Watch Otto Preminger and Joan Crawford duke it out for auteur status! It's a masterpiece!

I work weekdays until 8, otherwise I'd go :\

Ooh, I loooooove Joan Crawford. I'll consider it!

I am pretty sure I've never seen her in anything except What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.

Confirmed.

That's ridiculous. How did it come to this.

Omg I have no idea. She has been in so many good movies! Watch Strait-jacket! Or Berserk! Or The Unknown. Or Mildred Pierce. So many choices!

I'm pretty sure I've never seen her in anything.

Your life-- it is incomplete!

I've seen every single one of her sound films, most of her extant silents, most of her TV work, and have a unretouched version of the first photo above. She's my all-time fave.

That is because she is THE BEST.

She has the most perfect face.

Thanks Chicago thread for making me realize that Joan Crawford was once a total babe.

I was going to email this just to Jenny but thought everyone would enjoy it.

In my dream last night I was laying in bed with a manfriend who said "Your ear hair isn't grey at all." I looked in the mirror and I had 4-5" thick, black, wiry hairs growing out of my ear lobes. When I tried to pluck them, I found they were tough like filament, and they had long, clear, slimy roots attached to them.

those sound more like boogers to me

oh hey, I was at that reception! I have to say you guys were totally fucking great. which instrument do you play?

wut

oh weird. you know that couple? i was playing snare drum.

a little bit: Tanya was a grad student in the dept my wife teaches in at SAIC. Their back yard is super enviable especially with that weather. I'm glad I looked at this thread today, I wanted to tell you guys how awesome you were!

i only met them that day; i think the connection is that one of the guys in my band is their barista. anyway thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

they have a very close relationship with their barista

he's a very good barista

the kind you don't take home to mother
