loft parties are awesome imo but i guess chicago loft parties arent full of fetishist 22 yr olds so that helps

someone brought a party dj siren to plant bar back in the good old days when dan s djed there. it was the best accessory ever.
it was mosurock. Tim Sweeney bought one too. Jeremy has one and he's bringing it tonight. He's also bringing his fog machine. I bought the fluid for the fog machine. Yes, at Guitar Center, which has all kinds of stupid dj lights and effects. The Atlantic Center Guitar Center is on top of every subway train in the universe.

max, sorry we took off right away. i realized how many drinks i'd had. damn early start.
― lauren, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link
ha no worries! i was several drinks "deep" at that point anyway just having a good time boogieing~~we left pretty early too cause ari had work. good to see u again briefly tho.
― max, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:49 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, there was some good dancing.
i'm kind of "whoa" that jho was apparently always at plant bar when dan and i were always at plant bar.
― lauren, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
i am also kinda "whoa" abt that
is dan the guy who would always play love buzz
― 888 (ice crӕm), Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:54 (fifteen years ago) link
no, i think that was probably kevin? luke would play it a lot, too.
― lauren, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:55 (fifteen years ago) link
i djed there once when there was no one around - it was pretty triumphant if i do say so myself
― 888 (ice crӕm), Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

― lauren, Saturday, 1 November 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link
ha
as i said to dan last night there are stories of people coming into the bar on monday nights, just hoping to get a drink, and leaving right away because there were half a dozen people dancing on tables to edge of seventeen with most of the lights turned off, plus no one would actually serve paying customers.

lol business model
― 888 (ice crӕm), Saturday, 1 November 2008 16:03 (fifteen years ago) link
hey this has nothing to do with plant bar but it tangentially related to the lol original topic of this thread: what is up with ppl who every time their home state is mentioned (in a song, on tv, in conversation briefly, whatever) they like get excited and make a deal about it? is this some kind of overcompensation against the made-up dumbass strawman that n/a is really upset with or are there just some ppl really proud of the state college they didn't even attend or something? i have been thinking about this all morning, not tryna start a beef with anyone.
also: it is IMPOSSIBLE to navigate stuyvesant town. what the hell is with that place.

ya and the signs only tell you how to get to the odd numbered buildings and not how to get to the even numbered ones -- it's a nightmare maze!

they do have black squirrels all over stuyvesant town though which is kinda cool.

t is up with ppl who every time their home state is mentioned (in a song, on tv, in conversation briefly, whatever) they like get excited and make a deal about it?
hahaha! I definitely do this, I dunno why though. watching tv I'll be all "oh hey wau the st. louis arch" or "ooh look the Mizzou columns" when I'm WATCHING A MIZZOU GAME like duh of course they show the columns

st. louis never used to get mentioned much except for "Jus Like Compton" and that one Ice Cube track. but now they've got Nelly and Chingy.

"now" meaning five years ago
omg i totally forgot about nelly.
haha i mean i guess what i was thinking of was like, the last hold steady show i went to, the minneapolitans kept like knowingly looking at each other and loudly singing the mpls refs -- and i was like, we are at a hold steady show, how long are you guys gonna be entertained by minnesota references? the answer: a really long time!
then i was thinking, perhaps i am jaded because it is not very weird or unusual to hear/see ny references? but still.

thanks for coming those who came, it was an ok night, crowd came and went.
Andy was brought in to bartend when the Rapture started going on tour. He is great people. He was playing with White Magic for a bit then, what's he up to now?
I never played Love Buzz but probably everybody else who came around did. That was definitely a Fitz joint too.
