LaL OTM re: ever expanding Logan Square

watch as logan square gets bigger and bigger as real estate prices rise
or watch logan square get smaller as realtors make up fake names for the nice parts of logan square and divide up the neighborhood.

cray-cray Ha ha ha, John.
Ok, so this is the second time I've seen the word felch this week, so I finally looked it up in a slang dictionary online. I already wish I could go back to the halcyon days of not knowing.
Jordan, What is the vacay for? A tour? Something else?
I love love love dancing and I will go dancing whenever whereever with you people. Just name a date and place.

Jeff, How old are you now? Just 29, right?

Colette - I was searching old threads about BOOTS because I have boots on the brain, and I found this pair of boots you posted which look alot like the ones I first posted upthread. How were/are they?
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 13:39 (sixteen years ago) link
Jeff has to be 28 or younger, because he is younger than me.

Nick, when did you say before is the best time to ask for something from your boss?
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think I did say?
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 13:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Because I don't know?
Weird. I thought you'd done a story on it or something. I remember that one good time is after he/she has had their coffee for the day, but my boss doesn't drink coffee.

pseudo-tour, the same overseas jazz festival we did a couple times before except a week longer this time
― Jordan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Where will you be heading this time? Do you know?
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link
The main thing is in Ascona, Switzerland, but we'll be there a week ahead of time to go around a do promo shows in nearby towns and in Northern Italy, I think.
I've still never been on a real tour (which in my mind = longer than 5 days and playing every show in a new place) but it's a pretty cushy gig. :>

We auditioned a new pianist last night. Apparently he knows Dan M. from back at MTU, although not well, I don't think. (When I mentioned Dan's name, he said, "Oh yeah, he worked at the radio station. And hung out with this whole H0ught0n High Sch00l crew." His name is J0sh Schn@ble. We knew him because he's dated two separate K College alums. Michigan gets smaller and smaller.
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:44 (sixteen years ago) link
(Not sure yet whether he will actually join the band or not. That's a whole other conversation.)
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Dan has a common name too though.
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Wait, are you suggesting there was another Dan M. from H0ught0n who worked at the radio station at MTU?
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know of any other Dan Martin's at Houghton High. We didn't grow up in a very large place.
― sisut, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link
argh, inappropriate apostrophe.
Ignore me. I'm blinded by my Sarah J0hnson past.
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:56 (sixteen years ago) link
It's actually quite exotic in Michigan.
― Jordan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 14:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I mean, if he had said, "Oh I totally know Dan Mart1n, he was this big-time goth in the theatre department," I would've said, "Er, probably a different Dan Mart1n."

Morning, crew. I came in 45 minutes late today, because I knew I could. Everyone is either at a meeting or on vacation. My immediate boss is out for a week, and my higher-up boss is going to be too busy to mess with me for a while. It's sweet. I think instead of dicking around all day, I might actually catch up on some old, languishing projects.
I am not talking about the Commerce Clause on the internet.
That's too bad, but I understand. It seems... um... complex. Worthy of a never ending series of debates. Which, I understand, is pretty much what goes on between the Supreme Court and Congress. :(

hahaha holy shit

Do you remember this dude?
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, we had a class together and he dated a friend of mine for a while. We were never like super tight but we had a lot of friends in common. He was friends with 3rica too.

I'm so glad that no one from any of my high schools is ever going to turn up in Chicago.

I pretend they all live in myspace fairyland (except for Sarah).

Hi Sarah I was going to tell you something but I forgot it again.

Oh yeah it was that I think maybe the repost limit on Craigslist is 48 hours, not a week, so I might be able to repost my ad tonight.
Not very interesting I guess.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I need more coffee.
It IS interesting, Nick!! I was actually wondering that this morning!
OMG!
Wow!
(The silliness is directed at myself, not you.)
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:32 (sixteen years ago) link
I have a ton of shit to put on Craigslist. I should actually use Chicago thread to sell things too!
I am drinking a cup of half-caff. Made it myself. Not too bad. I need extra lift, because I stayed up too late contemplating the potential ramifications of drinking bottled water, and Article I, Section 8, Clause 3.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
what are you selling??
― river wolf, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I have been trying to venture out to other threads more often, but this morning was a total disaster, so I'm stuck just waiting for posts on the Chi thread I suppose. O_o
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
A disaster how?
Btw, I was out of Roastaroma tea earlier this week but went to Whole Foods last night to stock up. Damn, it's good. I might make another cup when I'm done with this one.
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah Sarah I don't know what disaster you're talking about. You have to remember that not that many people are on ILX at 9 a.m.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm just being dumb. Either people weren't responding to my posts (ie: I was making threads fall off the front page) or they were disagreeing with me (ie: saying that having a nalgene bottle at your desk is equivalent to coming to work in hiking boots).
I be sensitive.
― KitCat, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:48 (sixteen years ago) link
But that was just gabbneb, right? He's weird, anyone will tell you that.
― n/a, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
saying that having a nalgene bottle at your desk is equivalent to coming to work in hiking boots
I think we all know that Gabbneb is cray-cray. xpost
― jaymc, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I occasionally have a Nalgene at my desk.
During winter I wear hiking boots to work.
People are fucking stupid. I hate this board sometimes.
― dan m, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, gabbneb says all kinds of shit, don't make it true. History has shown.
― kenan, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link
1. It's not 9 AM all over the world.
2. Kenan, shut up.
3. I should probably have a yard sale. Maybe we could all go in on a yard sale like Courtney and I did with Jenny and Jeff when we moved from NC!
― Jesse, Thursday, 27 September 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I met him once. I was VERY VERY drunk though.
I would be up for this yard salin'. The last one at our house was not very successful, but YOURS WILL BE!
