EZ your robut-esque dance pose in that pic cracks me up.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Surely you knew Jenny at the time, that was less than a year ago?

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's a heartfelt schtick

but don't you see that just makes it worse

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Robot boxing. I knew Jenny, but now I feel like I know almost everyone on that stage better. And crazy that the 'nasta month at Schubas was a year ago!

FYI: Youngbl00d Brass Band is playing at Subterranean this Saturday.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

Hot 8 Brass Band is at House of Blues on Friday.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

WAHT

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

Also apparently at Schubas on Sunday.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to go on Friday.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

Who are they? Why are they so big?

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Did you just decide this?

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's one of those back-porch things. I don't know anything about those.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I just decided. Not even a decision really.

They're not "big", they're just the hottest N.O. brass band, which would make them my favorite band my default.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Hot 8 is at Old Town School for free today, and the Gangbe Brass band is at HotHouse.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

What is Old Town School? I would, uh, recommend going to see the Hot 8 in your town for free.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, they're playing there at 10:30 tomorrow morn too!

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse is hidden behind Sarah in that pic.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

i wish i had a heat gun here so i could dry my boots.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

Is going bare-foot frowned upon in your office? I'd take 'em off and put them somewhere to air out if I were you.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

(note: I see people barefoot here all the time, goddamn hippies.)

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

i'm at my desk, no one would notice but my pants are also SOAKED and i don't want to feel the freezing cold wet cuff of my pants against my bare ankle. in a half hour or so i'm going over to buy socks at least. i'll take off my boots then.

or rather, after i get back with the new socks.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

New socks are one of life's great pleasures.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

And how!

I got some nice warm socks for Xmas and they are already wearing out in the heels. I need to learn how to knit so I can knit some serious f'n socks that I don't have to replace every six months.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

this was the first year i didn't get any new socks for xmas in like forever. only my sister and nephew got me anything but they got me some really awesome/useful stuff.

Where's HoB at anyway? Is it reasonably easy to get to/park near?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Favorite line of that book: "Orange must be my size!"

― Laurel, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

xpost It's at like Michigan and some little offshoot of Wacker Drive. I used to walk by every day on my way to temping. There's a parking garage on the same block but it'll probably be $$$$.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

me and that bird have the same specs!

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, that's not right. WTF am I thinking of?

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

i thought hob was at like dearborn and kinzie, over near the old AMF lanes.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

It's on Dearborn and Wacker - 329 N Dearborn St - which is reasonably easy to get to via public transit.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

i think there's like a hob hotel going in over there or a hard rock hotel or something retarded like that dan. maybe that's it?

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Right next to Marina Towers.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Why would I use public transit?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I think it's Hard Rock...

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, the HoB is next to Marina Towers. Maybe you can just steal one of those parking spaces, Jordan.

xp - because there's no where to park near the HoB? And so you can get FUCKING WASTED? And because driving is no fun?

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

there's a parking garage UNDER hob i thought? i mean, if you want to pay for it.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

note: i've never been to hob so i have no idea.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Note: There might be parking INSIDE the House of Blues for all I know. I don't know shit about shit re: parking.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh that's right, I know I've seen HoB now.

Driving is no fun, but I wouldn't know where to park randomly. Maybe Rodger's Park, if I stay at Kid's place.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

The first 10 or so storeys of the Marina Towers are for parking.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Marina Towers and the BMW headquarters... separated at birth?

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, I've never seen those.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

that building is a bit much

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

I can't believe its still snowing out there.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

I am so enraged by the weather.

what should I eat for lunch?

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Wild Rice Chicken Sausage with Blue Cheese Dijonnaise and Roasted Yellow Peppers?

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

omg don't even tempt me. if it weren't snowing I would be all over that!
