Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

I think Sarah would like Leffe Blonde.

well, they are both liquid, kenan. isn't it obvious that it will work out in the end?

His name is brian.

I wish you guys could try some Ale Asylum, it's this new local brewery that's killing it. The Golddigger Blonde is great, and the Hopalicious is a lot like Two-Hearted but it's got its own thing.

I like those green euro lagers!

would be good for chicago summers

I think John's right. But how would do you know?

are you on his good side, jeff?

wait maybe i will kill afternoon at the brewery! $3 brews!

....it is so fucking hot here, and there's smoke all over teh place

i only ask b/c i know you & jenny are regulars.

We haven't been regulars in awhile, since moving. I'm meh on him, the sidecar incident was pretty ignorant though.

Oh! Why did I think that was John who posted his name. Yes, it is Brian.

right! i forgot about the moving!

He was always aloof, but never a dick like that before.

Where can I get this Leffe Blonde?

maybe life is getting on his last nerve.

sarah: hopleaf has it on tap

and it is quite delicious, light and fruity without being limp-wristed

Sisut, the miniskirt girl in this picture isn't with your group, is she? :>

MIKA MIKO Empty Bottle, 8/22

^^^^I'm going to this if I can swing it (it's the night before I leave for my sister's wedding), but others should check it out if interested. Old-school style female punk band, good times. I have empeethrees if anyone wants.

OK maybe not strictly old school but still good.

ALSO we are playing that show.

So we will be there.

O RLY

U r not listed in the Re@der.

O RLY? Well, the EB site lists us. Apparently, we'll be playing in support of our newest album, RAWYANG. Hmm... Gotta get a record out.

Well now it is more likely that I will be there. My choices are 1. leave after work on the 22nd, drive like a madman, get to town for the tail end of my brother-in-law-to-be's bachelor party, or 2. leave work, go to show, drive up leisurely on Thurs. 2 sounds a lot better at the moment.

Yep.

I am so ready to get out of here and go to the park and read in the shade, sippin' on some limeade.

I think we have some storms rollin' in b/c my head wants to be in a vice grip at the moment.

It WANTS to?

yes.

maybe needs.

btw sarah: here's the site i found the bath bomb on. they have many a tutorial for crafty endeavors.

Gotta get a record out.

Well, it's still just over a year old, yeah? I think by the time our new record comes out, it'll be 2.5 years since the last one. I think Mon1ca Kendr1ck said something about a new release being "overdue" the last time she wrote about us in the Reader.

It's been at least two years since our last one.

FYI, C0ugar is playing at the Bottle on Sunday.

john, i just emailed you a picture of ampersand earrings.

jordan, i just read your comment on the r. kelly thread. awesome.

ha

I can not stop listening to Hollaback Girl.

I made a bad joke at a jewish commitment ceremony yesterday that referenced that song.

aka "hora back"

you were warned.

i don't get it

i'm not giving you the full "joke" but the hora is the chair dance.

That is terrible, Kelsey.

Oh, I thought it would be in the vein of "challah back."
