Chicago: customers are advised to allow extra travel time

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.

Aug. 22 - Fake Fics at Empty Bottle, opening for California's own Mika Miko

In case you get homesick

Had a good day yesterday: got up early, worked until 9:15, drove out to Loyola, got set up to play that radio show, wandered around Loyola and Rogers Park with Sarah and Ben for awhile, drank too much coffee, played well on the radio show, went to Heartland for lunch, came home and took a nap, watched a little baseball, went to Bridget's for portabello burgers and Boggle.

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.

Ah, lawyers.

If a lawyer pulls out a bottle of booze, it's classy. If a janitor does it, he's fucking fired.

If a lawyer pulls out a bottle of booze, it's classy.

well.... it's lawyer-y, anywayy, anyway

whoa, what did I do there? I did not type that

ha ha

Yesterday ruled! I want every weekday to include homecooked breakfast, band activities subsidized by my work (ie: paid day off while playing on radio), a long nap, a social activity, and a walk on a beautiful summer evening.

Hi Sarah I am bored.

Nick, hhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii. I'm makin' you an email.

Hey - quick vote. Would you guys be more likely to be able to make my bday party if it were on September 7th (a Friday) or Sept 15th (a Saturday)?

Either day.

I'm makin' you an email.

This is really funny to me. Like it maybe involves tape and staples.

More likely on the 7th, since I'll actually be in-state, but don't make any decisions just because of me.

This is really funny to me. Like it maybe involves tape and staples.

in the future, email will be able to send construction paper

It's possible I could attend on the 7th since we'll be in town for our thing on the 8th, although we might be driving down & thus landing in chicago very late.

I've had fantasies about being able to attach a pizza in an e-mail and send it to myself for later. This would be handy if you're on the road and not hungry, but you pass a place that has really good food.

HAH! awesome.

I have had dreams where I emailed people things that canoot ordinarily be emailed.

cannot

canoot is Canadian

God, I cannot stop listening to this recording of 'When My Dreamboat Comes Home' by Mark Br4ud's band. It is the funkiest thing I've ever heard, I'll e-mail it if anyone wants to hear it.

yes plz
