ASK STEVE SHASTA ANYTHING SERIOUSLY DUDES

steve shasta, have you ever been to estonia

when u leave NYC? (don't answer here, i won't see it)

steve shasta-

i'm stationed on the north shore for a few days. know anything good to do after 6pm?

mahaloz.

shasta, why aren't i getting any smarter? related: why don't i ever learn? i'll take answers on either. thanks. give my best to vivvvvvvy.

steve shasta why does sake not give you hangovers?

also i drank my $6 sake last night, chilled, and yes, it didn't really taste that awesome

gr8080:

i usually stay at friend's folks' house near V-land (velzyland), it's usually pretty mellow broin' down (although Jack Johnson showed up one night before I knew who he was, but then again maybe he wasn't famous then either). those guys are all pretty hard core dawn patrollers so i've never really lived it up. sorry... although now i'm recalling that the turtle bay hilton has a bar that i went to once late at night. nothing to report other than a bevy of hawaiian tropic bikini contestants and their devoted admirees.

kt:

mind over matter. i read a quote yesterday that said (i paraphrase): travelling makes you smarter but not any happier. so find somewhere to go: maybe a natural setting with water and insect/animal sounds. will pass it along to viv.

rw:

how many ml? if 720, ouch: you won the russian roullette with your lack of hangover. Is this the Trader Joes one?

i had almost half a bottle of this http://www.ozekisake.com/image/IMG_0857.JPG

...i mean, it wasn't terrible or anything, but my experience with sake is somewhat limited

750mL

i had an $8 bottle of sake (not tj's) that was pretty big and also not so hangovery, even for cheapness! i think sake is a happy kind of drunk and even if you're groggy the next day you're not totally unfunctional.
steve, do you think sake is happy-making moreso than other alcoholic beverages, or am i making this up?

i swear i read someplace that sake is hangover proof.

rw, that is cooking sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, pwned

i bought it at the gas station!

i didn't know any better!

hehe, it's all good. you have an iron constitution! that's awesome.

tehresa-
yeah it seems to be easier on me much better than other alcohols, not sure why.

yeah but now what am i gonna do with the rest of that sake

if it didn't give me a hangover i'd be drinking $6 sake til the end of time!!!!

but if you worried that you dodged a bullet, cook up some veggies and pour that in with some soy sauce.

maybe i will do both!

yeah srsly i would say just drink the rest if it worked out ok the 1st time but alas this is shasta's thread so i'll let him be the sake advice giver.

shasta do you think the happy drunk is because its light color or the grain they use? i have no idea.

so find somewhere to go: maybe a natural setting with water

thanks, actually i'll be san diego county in 10 days, two blocks from the beach. skin cancer ahoy!

^ were u here?

So can't you hear my voice? I was next door in the DJ booth. If you look around 00:35-00:37 you can see the KXLU radio station door where I was, the live bands played in the next room down (part of the LMU sound engineer studio).

FUN FACT: Weezer cut their demo around that same time, and we all made fun of them and they all got rich and famous. I like that Rentals song "Friends of P" though.

ALSO FUN FACT: This was the first US performance of any of the SUPER AE material. I think this was the time when they were touring with TFUL282 joint-headlining. They played later that day at the Palace which is now something else (Dean?).

ONE MORE FUN FACT: "Claude Zachary"s real name is Dan V. and was a friend of gygax!(RIP)'s. O_o

FUN FACT: Weezer cut their demo around that same time,

I meant to say at "cut their demo at that same studio."

STEVE DON'T STOP LIVING IN THE RED!

The interview in the mp3 version is really funny.

WHACHOO DOIN ON 4TH, HOMEY?

read one thread.

NuPr0n and then?

i can hear your voice in vid. but can't tell what you're saying. it's either "where's the album at?", "woody allen" or something in japanese

d) all of the above.

shasta, where can i find a copy of the lancelot link lp?
also, where can i get an original pressing of "drop out with the barracudas" (not the voxx re-ish) for less than $40?

UH THERE'S NOTHIN SPECIFIC ABOUT TOM'W HERE AND i DON'T KNOW WHAT NuPr0n IS.

ok, i can read googleproofing now.

I hear you can hear outside the bullshit seating zone, hm.

dude, read the free shows thread

no, 6 threads too many, "dude"

Important denim-related question for Steve Shasta!

I have found some jeans I am 100% pleased with, but they only come in one color. I would like to purchase multiple pairs of these jeans, and then possibly do something to differentiate them from one another. They're on the darker side, so lightening them with bleach would be nice, but I don't want some horrible splattery jacked-up look. Is there any technique that could provide smooth, even, inconspicuous lightening? And what would you suggest for other ways -- like, I dunno, patches and whatnot -- to differentiate these multiple perfect jeans from one another?

patches

write the names of yr favorite bands in huge lettering down one leg of each pair in acrylics

#1. summer friendly salt wash bleach sand tip: go to beach. wear jeans in water. run around. play in sand. lay jeans out to dry in intense sun light. don't wash for 1-4 weeks.

#2. friend with laundry tip: do you have a friend with washer/dryer? if so, repeatedly wash in hot hot water (whites). dry on hot.

#3. bathtub edition. similar to #2, soak in hot tub with a healthy dose of industrial strength stain remover.

when done to adequate fade, cast with green, red, blue, gray, or black dye to desired results.

pix of each please.

please dont do number 2. we're in a serious drought

shasta:

pls advise on v., especially on the matter of fausto maijstral.

i just finished a chapter about fausto i-iv! it's my favorite so far.

Hi Steve,

Have you given this any thought? This is from PitchforkMedia, and it always strikes me as funny-strange:

Most-read-reviews

* 1. Ricardo Villalobos Thè au Harem d'Archiméde
* 2. José González Veneer
* 3. Electric Six Señor Smoke
* 4. Devendra Banhart Niño Rojo
* 5. José González Stay in the Shade EP

There's like accents and stuff everywhere!

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Also there's a typo in there. It should be "Nás".

(nabisco explained that once, something to do with search engine weirdness, sadly enough.)(may not be the official shasta answer however)
