I've never heard bro up. Bitch up, yes.

Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:40 (sixteen years ago) link

Bitch up? I've heard "man up" and "cowboy up."

I remember having long conversations in college about "smoke up" vs. "smoke down" in which we determined that one of the two (no idea which now) was "an Ohio thing."

jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link

bro down: chillin, hangin at somebody's house with some tunes and some video games

bro up: donning the striped shirt, getting serious, getting wild, getting drunk, getting teh ladiez (or not)

"down" and "up" indicate the overall energy level required.

kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link

"Smoke down" must be the Ohio thing, I've never heard that one.

"bro up" is from that article!

"Who was the first to bro up and carry that fucking keg of k*ll*an's up four flights of stairs for Duke's surprise party?"

I guess it's like "man up" but more bro-y.

I don't think I like interviewing bands. I kind of felt like a tool.

Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Urbandictionary.com sez "smoke down" is Michigan slang, which means that "smoke up" may have been the "Ohio thing," since my school was something like 70% in-state.

jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I've always heard smoke up.

Jordan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, smoke up is what they say everywhere I've ever lived.

Down bro with the brown dough.

Eazy, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link

"Smoke down" sounds more like an event you attend while, "smoke up" is what you do once you get there.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link

when i went to school in ohio everyone said 'up'

deej, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Down bro with the brown dough.

is this a euphemism for something... else?

kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link

I didn't have much (read: any) experience with weed in the Chicago suburbs prior to college, so I heard the two terms interchangeably and wasn't sure which was the anomaly.

PHEW! I was really afraid that would to an urban dictionary definition that would give me night terrors.

the "face down" video is really a let down. No one is face down at all!

I was just thinking this morning how it would be fun to be in Gambier, Ohio, having coffee in the bookstore and going to a class today.

My heart is not really in this recurring two-year-old joke wherein I post photos of Wooster on threads that deej is on.

this thread is quickly going monkey side, and I fear I am to blame. :(

Any ideas for something fun to do tonight?

Fun and cheap?

I'm thinking of going to free Thursday at the Art Institute and checking out the Jeff Wall exhibition before it's gone. But you guys saw it in NYC, right?

Eazy, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:05 (sixteen years ago) link

stay home, open the windows, feel the cool night air as you snuggle under a blanket and watch TV.

kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link

No,E. That looks good!

KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:06 (sixteen years ago) link

better than snuggling, though? Be honest.

kenan, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:07 (sixteen years ago) link

The problem is that we're still getting used to this new routine of not having band practice a couple times during the week. Also, I've had this dumb cold. So basically we've been homebodies all week.

KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:07 (sixteen years ago) link

If you guys want to meet up, name a time that's good -- I think the museum's free anytime after 5 and open 'til 8.

Eazy, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:07 (sixteen years ago) link

Art Institute is free on Thursdays now?

jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:07 (sixteen years ago) link

And why no band practice?

jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Ben is on a design project team. He had to apply to get in, and it lasts until next summer I believe. So, he's working full time and going to this other thing in the evenings during the week. Thus, he can't play shows or practice during the week any more.

KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:09 (sixteen years ago) link

This means we only practice on Sundays. Once a week is probably the norm for most bands but we're used to 2-3.

KitCat, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, we do two three-hour practices, so I feel ya.

jaymc, Thursday, 13 September 2007 20:12 (sixteen years ago) link

There's also an exhibition (closing this weekend) of communal poems from Japan, basically the kind of thing we all do in bars:

Playing Sonotheque for the first time ever, Mike and Mark open their vaults for a very special night of classic dance music and sexy bullshit. This is a rare, special treat that you music fans do not want to miss. They pack more heat than an oven door, tastefully folding rare disco, soul, funk, into New Wave, house, hip-hop and boogie. Listening to them play records is like being on a time traveling Be prepared to dance...hard.
