Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

I'm leaving early from work today to go to a wedding. Isn't that wild? A Thursday wedding! I think Thursday is the new Saturday.

xp They were fawning all over that on 848 this morning.

There's no such thing as a Thursday wedding.

I got married on a Monday.

Nope.

Yep.

you did?! i didn't know that!

I did. We did. Monday Dec. 29 at 1pm.

awesome!

Tickets for August: Osage County are sold out for tonight, and there's nothing on Hottix right now. Maybe I'll try going down to the box office this weekend.

I told ya, I told ya, once they announced it was going to Broadway it would sell out.

Did you guys see it, N&S?

i didn't go to K, but when to high school there, so he was an 'older boy'. i think his name was greg(g) and this was in 95, and he was one of two seriously blonde guys i ever dated.

i never really thought getting married on a monday was that weird/abnormal. is it? i mean surely other people choose off days?

i think getting married any day but saturday is still considered 'alternative', but is increasingly popular. i think it's silly that all weddings are supposed to be on the same day of the week, but then had my wedding on a saturday. oh well.

1. Schindler's List was still playing in theaters in 1995?
2. Greg R@czni@k?

Surely you understand, though, that people have weddings on Saturday because people are more likely to be able to make it? Most people don't have to take time off work, people from out of town can drive up that day. Also, you can get drunk that night. There are lots of wedding conventions that are arbitrary, but I don't think this is one of them.

Oh, I know. We just had -- let's see -- 7 people attend our wedding, so it wasn't as much of a concern.

(We had a big party 6 mo. later when it was most convenient for us -- I was in school and working full time -- and our friends/fam. But most people outside of nuclear family didn't see the wedding part of the wedding.)

This guy just sent me his resume with a snapshot of himself attached. ??

is he a real estate agent?

Call him and say, "Now is this current?"

he also stated that he is "28 y.o."

A/S/L?

nope E/S/L

I have other funnies but I won't post them because that's too mean. But this guy with the photo? He deserved it.

I was going to make a ESL/"A/S/L" joke, but I couldn't make it work.

Am I being unreasonable to not want my mom to crash at my place after she comes to a gig this weekend? I was trying to explain that it would be cramping my style and that I'd rather get her a hotel, and she's just like "Why, I don't understand??"

I don't think you're being unreasonable, but I never win this one with my mom.

"Mom, I'll never get laid if you're staying at my place!!!"

OK so maybe the creep-out technique isn't the best.

I dunno, I don't think it's unreasonable. Say you've got plans, say you haven't had time to straighten up, say IT'S MY DAMN HOUSE MOM?

Offer to take her out for a fancy brunch the next day or something?

Hey guys wanna see the world premiere of a great movie the press is totally ignoring?

Offer to take her out for a fancy brunch the next day or something?

Can't, because of the kosher thing. She won't even eat any of the food at my place.

Damn! I'm going to be in da UP for my sis' wedding, A.

xp - Oh right. Oops.

Also sorry for the familial promotion. The movie is going to be in the big theater at the Siskel center and I'm worried that with no press coverage the place will be all crickets and not butts in seats.

I sent the link to a jazzy sax-playing coworker of mine.

Can't come, but I'll tell my friends. Looking forward to the dvd.

I toooooooootally understand if people can't come -- I really really do. But consider it is all I'm sayin'. You do NOT need to love free jazz to enjoy this movie.

The good news is that F@cets is on board to release the series on DVD, so Sheriff will come out in October and the others will come as they come. But at least now the series has a home.

Fuck. I really want to see that, but I already bought tickets to see Kumail that night.

I was afraid I had started my publicity blitz too late :(

PRIVATE SCREENING W/ DIRECTORB, PLZ :D

AUDIO COMMENTARY

Dan says (he's standing behind me) to tell you that it's ok if you don't come. He won't dis you on the internet or compromise your christianity.

As for the private screening, we'll see...you get the screening room I'll see if I can make him show up.

his momma taught him better than that

We'll probably be there, can't wait.

Yaaay! Dan tells me to tell you that you should "sit in the way back, for easy getaway during the boring part." har har

THERE IS NO BORING PART
IT IS NONSTOP ACTION

I thought the point was that the life of a musician is, contrary to popular belief, a series of boring parts? I want BORING PARTS.

I'm kidding. There are many boring parts.

Boring parts for some, miniature American flags for others!

Looking forward to Rosenmaum's four-star review in section one, along side a one-star review of Rush Hour 3, with an overall point about the Hollywood distribution system connecting the two.

er, Rosenbaum.

Does the Onion guy who liked Sh'iff know this is happening?
