And what the fark is with the "Chat with Russian Women" ad I'm seeing?
I don't want to have to install a farking webcam, and a mike, and download a trial version of Rosetta stone, and flail my way though an awkward three minutes of "trail membership" with some overweight middle-aged woman with a mustache who can't speak English.
I can do that on any given Saturday in WInooski, Vermont.
Or on any Polish dating site.
Or any Check site.
Or on any Yahoo chat in Hungarian.
Or Yugoslavian.
Or Bosnian, for that matter.

Meds, apologies to your mom, I didn't know the cam was on, and I swear I took my pepto before the whole thing started.
So it was an accident.
No matter what she tells you.

Really, and the inflatable pool toy? That is what is was. I was pumping it up for the neighbor's kid. Really.

SWIM SAFE!

kissfromapocalips: I regret to inform everyone that "Chinese Mexican Monthly" will now operate as a quarterly publication.
There's just not enough interest in the Chinese-Mexican community to validate a monthly issue.

Hú dà shǔ, maldita sea

mmm polish sausage

kissfromapocalips		2012-04-19 02:47:37 PM

I'd like to inform everyone that "Ozzie Guillen's Deep Thoughts" will now operate as a monthly publication.
Also, due to enhanced interest, "Big Uterus Quarterly" will now publish Monthly.

Thanks. A a person born without a uterus, I cannot read minds.

gorbishof		2012-04-19 07:09:04 PM

"pukes" and leaves...

vudukungfu		2012-04-19 08:21:25 PM

medius		2012-04-19 10:32:20 PM

Nooooooooooooooooo!

I was finally free. Back in electric liter land.

Someone stop lossed me for six more months.

medius		2012-04-20 06:26:50 AM

Couldn't find my non-workout shorts this morning. Other than my cut offs.

Guess I'm buying knee pants in San Juan.

medius		2012-04-20 06:27:48 AM

Also, something weather appropriate. Supposed to storm for a while.

SteamyRain		2012-04-20 10:03:30 AM

Happy Friday!

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 10:14:24 AM

Checking in.

First gig of my entire life is tomorrow. We're playing a 45-minute set at a local small town parade/ festival called Mitchellfest. Nervous but strangely pumped.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 10:18:19 AM

Break a leg...what songs ya doing?

Ruffian		2012-04-20 11:21:48 AM

He's in a Winger cover band. They also do Stryper.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 01:02:23 PM

Foo Fighters- Walk & Everlong
Alien Ant Farm- Smooth Criminal
Thousand Foot Krutch - Phenomenon
Slipknot - Snuff
John Rzeznick - I'm Still Here
Lifehouse - Everything
And another song called You Won't Relent, but I have no idea who does it.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 01:07:56 PM

For equipment, I'm packing my American Deluxe Fat Strat, Squier Tele, Roland GT-8, NADY wireless, playing through 200 watts of Marshall MG100HD and Behringer GMX212, both set clean. All effects through the GT-8.

TheNewJesus		2012-04-20 01:23:01 PM

my boss is running a marathon tomorrow
I will be sleeping/hungover with the runs

so kind of the same thing

medius		2012-04-20 01:42:52 PM

Go Hammer!

If I were to tweet "I'm in Pretty Rico" that would be muy maracon?

NTTWWT, hermano.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 01:54:36 PM

Even better, since this gig is at the same time as the prom, the band director of Thomson HS has offered us a slot playing at the Relay for Life in May. Most of my band kids will be at prom tomorrow, and they really want to see us play. Difficulty: 1500+ peeps at Relay.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 01:58:09 PM

what kind of p.a. are you playing thru? for that size crowd you're gonna need a decent p.a.

medius		2012-04-20 01:58:21 PM

Ther is some thin ancient here in a UNC cap. ....jaxom?

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:02:37 PM

Luckily, they won't all be gathered, simply watching us play, a couple hundred will be walking the track, hundreds more running booths and shopping in them. High School Jazz Band will also play. All the sound is simply what we bring with us. Probably no more than 200-300 people watching the band at any particular time, although we could attract more, if we're any good.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:03:24 PM

The venue is basically a football/ soccer field behind the school.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 02:07:38 PM

do you have a pa?

medius		2012-04-20 02:11:12 PM

Goodnight, pa.

medius		2012-04-20 02:12:39 PM

I wish my room were ready or my friends would respond to my texts and emails, so I wouldn't have to hang out with you epeople.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:13:40 PM

We might can make use of the one the Jazz Band will use, but I have no idea how to mic the amps, really. I'm kinda afraid of damaging something. That's why I'm taking 200 personal watts.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:14:34 PM

Your room, meds?

Rubber?

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 02:28:22 PM

well...what's the singer gonna sing out of?

Jaxom		2012-04-20 02:31:15 PM

Meds went to PR to hang. Wonder who he is not drinking with there?

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:36:47 PM

He's got two amps as well.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:37:50 PM

We're not trying to project throughout the entire venue, just provide music within a good 200' radius. I think we've got that covered.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 02:51:22 PM

Good luck and have fun (that's what its all about). Try not to play Too loud.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:52:44 PM

That's a definite concern. These southern baptists don't appreciate a rocking good time after they hit 30 or so.

HAMMERTOE		2012-04-20 02:53:27 PM

Basically, I'm just shooting not not overpower the drums or vocals.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 03:00:20 PM

if the drums aren't miked he'll have to bang the shiat out of them and the singer will have to scream until the veins start popping out of his neck

Ruffian		2012-04-20 03:21:25 PM

Just ordered up a new lightweight rain jacket for my trip. Hoping shipping ETAs are reliable, because I'm cutting it close. Also waiting on my camera rain cover that I ordered a few days ago.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 03:37:18 PM

muff diving?

vudukungfu		2012-04-20 03:50:43 PM

knobglobbler55: if the drums aren't miked he'll have to bang the shiat out of them and the singer will have to scream until the veins start popping out of his neck

Why are you miking the drums?
Because I can't hear them over the the guitars.
Why were guitars amped up in the first place?
Because people couldn't hear them over the drums.

. . .

Think about it.
The best band plays onloy loud enough to be heard at the back of the room, and can deal with anyone talking over the music.
That's why I stop playing if someone talks, and usually play something that makes them shut up and listen, anyway.

knobglobbler55		2012-04-20 04:03:13 PM

Dude, last gig I played was to 4 year olds at Club Med. The show must go on.

vudukungfu		2012-04-20 08:19:59 PM

That. Actual;y sounds like fun.

medius		2012-04-21 08:47:38 AM

Rubber room? No, but I do have rubbers in my room.

Lord knows why I would pack them.

Dreadstar		2012-04-21 10:21:04 AM

So here's how my life goes, ridiculously abridged version:

Back in 2010 I was seeing a girl. Had been acquaintances, friends, for a while, went to the next level, things were good. But her life was pretty crazy, she went through some personal stuff, and she broke up with me. It sucked. For all intents and purposes, and from the state of both our facebooks, she moved on, I moved on, that was that. And we haven't really spoken in over a year.

Last night, I went to Columbus to check out some bands. One of the bands included a couple of guys that were in her old band. I knew there was a chance she'd be there, and had no idea how it would go. As I get to the neighborhood where the bar is, I end up driving around the block like 4-5 times looking for a parking space. Sure enough.. I find a space, start backing in, turn my head, and there she is, walking up the street.

Perfectly explainable, but... yeah.

Anyway it was good. We talked. Or mostly she talked. Been through a bunch of shiat in the past year but it sounds like she's doing better than ever, and I'm happy for her.

medius		2012-04-21 10:27:46 AM

douse that torch in alcohol

Dreadstar		2012-04-21 11:19:22 AM

Yeah, that was part of the "moving on" process mentioned above.

This is more about me having a good reason to clear up some of my own confusion and insecurity.

medius		2012-04-21 12:31:41 PM

god, i hope not

if everyone gets there heads right, i'll have no one left to talk to

leftyblonde		2012-04-21 03:07:01 PM

never gonna happen.

medius		2012-04-21 03:31:05 PM

there heads? where heads?

wear heads?

ware head? ware?

Dreadstar		2012-04-21 03:46:40 PM

I said some, not all. Still plenty more confusion and insecurity left.

leftyblonde		2012-04-21 04:20:32 PM
