When I first googled it, the pictures popped up on the menu and it didn't exactly strike me as the type of place that someone in this thread would recommend.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 27 January 2012 19:16 (twelve years ago) link
Kumas rules seem reasonable, even appreciated. I didn't even read the rules at Vortex. But it's weird they're 18 and up all the time. It seemed a little douchey in a "cool" way. The thrift clothes/head shop next door had a handwritten pro-Ron Paul sign outside.
I'm at the airport now and there's a lawyer getting very mad about law stuff on his cell. Someone's lawyer recused the judge.

I'm down with the 'victimized' explanation -- seems as if some real assholes have been in there before
coupled, of course, with owner assholism
― long duk dan (dan m), Friday, 27 January 2012 19:18 (twelve years ago) link
nope, on further perusal, just owner assholism
place reminds me of THE ALLEY too for some reason
― long duk dan (dan m), Friday, 27 January 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, I googled vortex to check out their rules, and I'm fairly certain that it's where I spent New Year's Eve 1999 with my sister. WTF.

actually it was New Year's Eve 1998.xp

Ha ha I was going to compare it to The Alley but I feel bad for Jenny, everyone piling on her restaurant recommendation. It was fine, it really was.

I don't recall ever going into the Vortex. Seems like I would have at some point.

Fyi that La Cocina on Jackson is gone. The John Marshall is taking over all that space. In line at Chipotle now. :/

La Cochina Mexicana.

It's okay! It was one of three places and it sounds like you tried EAYC first, which is significantly less douchey. I mean, the Vortex has a skull door and that's cool but yeah, either it wasn't that shitty when I lived there or I didn't remember it well enough. Like I said, it wasn't my regular bar.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Friday, 27 January 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
EAYC looked nice for a drink but they didn't have much on their food menu.

Who's going to Winter Brew this weekend again?

I also would love to go to winter brew -- didn't realize tickets would sell out so quick!

Do any of you dykes want to meet me for a burger or pancake and a beer? I want company out amongst people.

I think I'll never get used to the fact that "amongst" is not a real word! Or at least not the accepted American spelling. I really hope it doesn't sound like a Brit affectation b/c it completely is not.

Yeah, class starts tomorrow at 9 and I have to be there early because I have to get keys and get somebody to show me how to use the fancy computer projector set up. So I'm in tonight.

I was thinking about going out to find food and/or watching a movie, but wound up getting verrrry sleepy and having a K8-E Balticburger style episode of narcolepsy on my couch at about 7:45.
Pretty bummed about missing Winter Brew :(

Finally figured out how to check e-books out of the library and all of my hold books say something like:
You are patron 13 out of 18 on the waiting list.Library copies owned: 2

I really don't understand this manufactured scarcity with lending e-books. If something is apparently that popular, surely its fairly easy to license another copy to satisfy demand? Maybe I just don't understand enough about how this works from the library's end. I tried to check out some e-books from the Evanston library, but I quickly gave up. I think I'm still on the waiting list for one book three months later.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 30 January 2012 14:08 (twelve years ago) link
I don't get how it could be harder to get e-books than physical books. When I checked out the complete poems of Anne Sexton a couple of weeks ago, there was a whole shelf of the same exact book. Probably 15 copies. (Which reminds me, I should renew that check-out online. I love that you can do that.)

"I remembered" <-- this is one of those lame phrases they put on those little ribbons for losers, like "I did my best!" and "A+ attitude!"

I didn't get it! I just checked again to see if I overlooked it, but I didn't get it at all.
