Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

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?

Ha. I am reading Rosenbaum's Movie Wars: How Hollywood and the Media Conspire to Limit What Films We Can See right now, actually.

i'll be there

Does the Onion guy who liked Sh'iff know this is happening?
Yeah, he not only wrote the liner notes for the Sheriff DVD but he has Musician and, well, I guess he'll write about it if he likes it.

Rosenbaum. Yeah. Rosenbaum.

Is the last entry in the series going to be DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER???

Or perhaps TEACHER?

(The Not-Working Series)

I am back from

Workin'

I think I'm funna like this. Verrry laid back, which is good and bad--good because once I learn what I'm doing it will be a pleasant work environment, but bad because for right today they gave me work without training me and sort of "let me" learn it. I was told to correct invoices and send out billing, but the system is not that terribly straightforward. Also I was set free on a bitchy copy machine/printer that the attorneys know 100% of NOTHING about.

Fortunately the guy I'm replacing will be back to train me all next week. I have a notebook started for him.

Notable things:
-work is in Greek Town. Yummy lunch!
-while giving me the tour of the kitchen the female attorney pointed to a cupboard and said, this is the emergency supplies, and pulled out a bottle of Jimmy Walker Black. Also, there were a few beers in the fridge.
-The commute took 1 hour and 10 minutes--(Trip Planner said 40-45)

I think I'll like this. The commuters at 8 AM are very different from the 10:00 ones.

Those 2 sentences are not related.

Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad.
Just to root for the home town crew,
Ev'ry cent
Katie spent.
On a Saturday her young beau
Called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No,
I'll tell you what you can do:"

[Chorus) (

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.

Katie Casey saw all the games,
Knew the players by their first names.
Told the umpire he was wrong,
All along,
Good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song:

I did not know this song's verses. I didn't even know it had verses!

Ha ha, I like that idea of a series called Not Working, which would show the downtime at all different kinds of jobs.

Please, please... "multi-tasking".

Oh, Sarah. (Oh, Oh, Sarah, let me love you till the morning comes) Apply for job with -- well, I'll email you. There's an attorney in the loop who co-counsels with H&O who is looking for an admin. They do Good Work.

I am SO fucking sick that I'm finna die. Everything hurts, esp. my chest.

JIMMY Walker??? I think not. Johnny, I meant.
