Solved my travel dilemma!
Thanks to Electric Six booking more future tour dates in the midwest, so it’s not so important to squeeze in the currently scheduled dates, which allowed me to change up everything and see all the bands I want to see in all the places i want to see them and then go see Electric Six a bunch of times in a bunch of easier places for me to get to in October/November.

“The Riverboat Gamblers were the only band that was nice to me the last time I...”
– Review of the new Gamblers album. Or maybe it’s a stream-of-conciousness plea to buy it.
There’s some unusual stuff on this record I haven’t quite decided what I think of just yet, but I’ve got limited listening time and I’m trying to decide what I think of the new...
ROAD TRIP!
So Valient Thorr just happens to be playing in a lot of places not too far to drive in one day where I have friends to go visit coming up here soon so I’ve got some plans to make some trips out of town.
Electric Six dates for October/November are starting to surface so I don’t feel so bad for canceling my tentative trip to NYC to go see them and Manitoba do harbor cruises. Cause the...
Took me this long to do it
But I finally un-fb-friended the guy who I don’t know with the baby.
My clever plans
are becoming harder and harder to devise.
Potato Truck comments
are funny.
So I'm at the bar and I'm talking to this dude...
and I can see in the reflection, presumably what he sees. And he’s asking me all sorts of very normal small-talk sorts of questions but I can see that he’s got a view of my cleavage that is both totally impressive and completely distracting.
Meanwhile, he is being a perfect gentleman, which is disturbing me even more, because it would be really weird for me to change the topic to my...
My initial review of the kitty holster
while sitting outside while the cat lounges in the grass with it on is that it’s really lightweight. Super easy to get on, which is a relief because his old dog one was both difficult and too small for him so I hated to put him in it while he was protesting.
This went smoother. I tossed it over his back and did the velcro on his belly. He was all “WTF?” at me while I did the...
Two weeks down. Four to go.
My broken rib is so much improved now that I’ve been intentionally sober through Metal shows, cookouts and an informal supplementary drinking club meeting.
It still hurts. I still sleep only a few hours at a time on top of a pillows. Only in different positions than before. Sneezing is still awful but nowhere near as bad.
I can laugh. I can walk. I can lift things under 15lbs. I can...
Insane Clown Posse
was the last time in history that teenage rebellion did something that parents really didn’t get.
I’m waiting for the kids to come up with a new thing so crazy I just can’t wrap my head around it. It’s long overdue.
I am not an Orphan.
The girl who’s putting on the Memorial Day Cookout “for Orphans” tonight made the genius move of starting it at 6pm, presumably so that we aren’t stuck out in the worst of the heat all day. Or maybe, like me, she just likes to sleep late and then screw around a lot on her day off.
Whatever the case, I’m happy to have a fun party to go to. I just hate that she calls...
Hey. You never answered my txt. :-/
Is my phone not working or did no one really answer any of my txts today?
Most Metal Wedding Ever.
One of the other 5 Metal chicks in this town got married to one of the Metal dudes today. I don’t know them that well but I have hung w/them in bars and they seem like a fun happy couple. They had a ceremony this evening and then did the reception in a bar with food and opened it up to the public and made sure to invite everyone from around town they know, which was mostly a lot of...
“And I realize that not only is the “Special Edition” flawed, it’s a serious work...”
– A note on Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Special Edition : Todd Alcott
This is what I thought too. It’s not that you get to see the inside that’s so awful. It’s that the story changes because of it.
IMDb :: Boards :: Close Encounters of the Third... →
I’m not just watching Close Encounters, but I’m on the 2nd version right now. The one where they show the inside of the mothership. In fact I’m about 5 mins away from seeing it right now.
I was surprised upon watching the original version, which I’ve not seen since it aired on network TV probably in the early 80’s, that I remembered almost every scene in some detail....
