Up yours children.

Only Phish I've ever seen/heard was a recording a guy showed me of them doing the Star Spangled Banner a capella at a Knicks game. Clever and complicated in a prog-rock way. I liked it. My brother, prog-rock keyboardist that he is, likes them a lot.

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 28 April 2006 20:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't know that that Phish knowledge is a good thing or not.

Since I've got tomorrow afternoon to myself, I think I'm going to explore the new 'hood a little more.

Goodbye Chicago! Go fuck yourselves!

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Friday, 28 April 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Adios.

jvc (and anyone else really), there's a good show tomorrow night at subterranean- vilent lovers club (aron from baseball furies new band), hunches (rose city punk), and hot machines (chicago allstars). gonna be good. $2.00 schlitz cans at sub-t are a bargain.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 28 April 2006 22:16 (twenty years ago)

Well, I get back from checking out the place and having a nice dinner at Chipotle to some seriously creepy wrinklepaws exclusive shit. Whatev, but fuck you Chicago for now.

Hello, Chicago, I love you like I love all the northern midwest right now! I just got back from watching a bat skitter around eating bugs RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR as my parents and I sat on our brand new patio and drank beer. OMG I bought a sixer of Bud today and my dad is drinking it with me. Okay, he had one. STILL, it's CRAZY.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 29 April 2006 00:16 (twenty years ago)

Beer! Good idea!

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 01:28 (twenty years ago)

hey guys! last friday in the city!

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 29 April 2006 01:54 (twenty years ago)

OH NO!

What are you doing on the internets?

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 01:56 (twenty years ago)

That's better.

PS I am wearing a robe.

PPS How was UC, FFs?

PPPS I was thinking that a teensy little year from now I will graduate and I want a graduation party and I would like the FFs to play at it. But we have some time to figure it out.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 02:13 (twenty years ago)

Wait. A year from now the FFs will be tying the knot! Ooo I just got very excited.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 02:13 (twenty years ago)

Okay there is a special kind of lameness about posting to oneself on the internet on Friday night so good night, Chicargo. Sleep well.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 02:14 (twenty years ago)

hi jenny.

SOMEHOW, EATING PIZZA AND WATCHING "CURB YR ENTHUSIASM" ISN'T QUITE CUTTING IT.

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 29 April 2006 02:30 (twenty years ago)

ARRGH I CAN'T GET ON IM. I have no idea why it won't connect but this is my last night at the homestead -- tomorrow is girls' night w/ sister, which I am sort of dreading. Have had two phone conversations with her today during which she barely paused for breath; I predict complete mania. If it ever sounds like I want to have a wedding, someone pls remind me of this time so I can downgrade my plans to picnic + soul party.

― Laurel (Laurel), Saturday, 29 April 2006 03:00 (twenty years ago)

What a strange night on the Red Line. A loud argument between a preppy blond guy and 2 punky emo guys swigging Jim Beam. Apparently the preppy guy called the punks faggots and they were pissed. They were bigger and looked like they could kick his ass.

Then loud guy with the shell game complete with a plant who "won" $100.

Then a guy with facial piercing got off the train at the same time as I did. He was trying to find Clark's and I helped. He hit on my really hard, asking if I was going home, what I did for a living (he was a bartender). He was kind of cute.

DUDES, CHICAGO SUCKS RIGHT NOW, WHAT GIVES

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:02 (twenty years ago)

I ate at the Drake tonight. It was alright. I've never had an $11 french dip sandwich before.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:04 (twenty years ago)

BUT... the "executive" Manhattan was perfection.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:04 (twenty years ago)

Why does Chicago suck, geeb?

Kenan, what were you doing at the Drake?

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Chicago sucks because all my pals are watching dumb movies while I have exactly TWO NIGHTS left in this stinktown.

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:12 (twenty years ago)

That's redonculous.

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:17 (twenty years ago)

U R TELLING ME.

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Kenan, what were you doing at the Drake?

Eating and drinking. A couple friends of mine (Todd and Rachel, if you must know) go there so often that the waiter knows them. It's a little weird, and there's something kind of Lynchian about the place, since is's such an anachronism and so full of old people, but that's also what's interesting about it.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:21 (twenty years ago)

Why the hell did I not talk to that guy more? Maybe because it's not really a good idea to talk to strangers on the street when you just told them you are carrying a big wad of cash (by telling them you are a waiter)? Also, facial piercings?

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 04:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to post this to the blog.

Saw a play for work tonight on my own, then ran into two of my best friends (known them both for 10+ years) on the street afterwards and went to that fancy sushi joint on Milwaukee right around the corner from Milwaukee/Division - so good! And not badly priced for fancy sushi and giant Sapporo.

Chill out Dave, nobody's creeping on you. If anything I just spent too much time reading ilx this week.

― Holy makkara, Toivo! (OutDatWay), Saturday, 29 April 2006 05:37 (twenty years ago)

Can I ask? What's wrinklepaws?

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 05:58 (twenty years ago)

Feel free to email me a response. But use email, NOT e-mail.

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 05:58 (twenty years ago)

god i've got to get out of this town. i've outlived my usefulness here. where to?

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Saturday, 29 April 2006 06:40 (twenty years ago)

Okay, Dan, I figured as much. I went to a party at my close friend's/ex girlfriend's apartment tonight, and it was good. The shittty Hyde Park cops tried to shut it down, which was very largely effective, but Charles and I stayed. However, I was not able to get milk with my donuts at Walgreen's, so that was enormously disappointing. Also, apparently I have a totally badass reputation at the coffee shop on campus I used to work at. Amazing.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Saturday, 29 April 2006 08:08 (twenty years ago)

Hm. Jesse, where is this "dollar-a-shirt" dry cleaners that you talked about? Cause I just dropped off six shirts and four pair of pants at my nearest place, and it came to $22. Unless pants cost $5 each, this is more than $1 a shirt.

Whatever. It's still not that bad.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 15:33 (twenty years ago)

HI I AM NEW TO DRY CLEANING.

You know what I'm most excited about? Getting new hangers. For free, no less.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 15:34 (twenty years ago)

That hanger thing gets old real fast.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

But right now I only have, like, six of them.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:11 (twenty years ago)

A- NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!!
B- Pants cost a few bucks each.
C- Don't ask for dry cleaning on the shirts. You just want shirt laundry. They wash and press your shirts. I've never seen any place charge more than $1 or $1 and small change for this.

D- If you take women's shirts to get laundered they will cost around $5 each because of the cut. But 20/20 or someone did a thing where took a men's cut shirt into a laundry, once a woman dropped it off and the other time a man dropped it off. The man was charged the usual $.99 and the woman was charged for a woman's shirt ($6 or something) despite the fact that it was the very same men's shirt.

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

yeah, without children to beat them with a la joan crawford they just clutter up your apartment really fast. and those fucking plastic bags.... fuck.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

I can always use the plastic bags to suffocate small children.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:13 (twenty years ago)

Don't ask for dry cleaning on the shirts. You just want shirt laundry.

Well, ok. Except I do have some shirts that I've been throwing the washer that I shouldn't have been. And I like light starch.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Jesse -- you're going to fucking love this mix. At least, I know I do. I am a genius.

Walking to the store a minute ago, and there was a broken Hitachi Magic Wand lying alone on the sidewalk. I think I should make up a story about how it got there.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

(insert joke about Kenan repairing vibrators here)

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

SHH! Kitty is sleeping.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Hitachi Magic Wand?

I always get heavy starch, but I think it's not the greatest thing for everyday shirts. But for work shirts is great because I can get like 4 wears out of them and even then, it's the smell that makes me retire them, not any lack of crispness.

I don't understand....what does what you've been doing with your shirts have to do with how you get them done at the cleaners? Dry cleaning is not going to go any easier on them.

― Whispy Fandango Triphop (unclejessjess), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

When the tag says "dry clean only," I usually ignore it, but I feel like maybe I shouldn't.

― Man Man (kenan), Saturday, 29 April 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

Hitachi Magic Wand?
