Speaking of Hopper...

The only thing everybody at Lollapalooza has in common is the willingness to be painfully gouged for a ticket. Even crowds that might seem a bit more like-minded (at Pitchfork, para ejemplo) make for a grim and dystopian scene

... no one at the Reader knows Spanish well enough to change that to "por ejemplo"?

also, that is a jammin version of superstition

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I love that clip.

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:28 (sixteen years ago) link

LOL they speed up like a motherfucker by the end

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link

where is jeff beck?

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Has anyone been to the Great Taste of the Midwest Beer Festival in Madison? I may be performing there next weekend....although I'm not sure the guy fully comprehends our show. I mean, from what I know, small children are at this festival.

sisut, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, my band plays there every year. :>

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link

What is your show? I don't see many kids there, just wasted parents.

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link

ps it's a great time

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Burlesque...that's why I'm confused. At least one of the other dancers and I are game for the gig, but we need to find out details. We can definitely modify to make it more family friendly, but it's still gonna be burlesque.

sisut, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

family-friendly burlesque is an oxymoron, no? Or at least not much fun. :(

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link

The group does have some numbers that are straight up dance numbers, no clothing whatsoever removed, and a couple of us sing. But since several of the other dancers are unavailable next weekend, this would probably be strictly solos.

sisut, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Hmmm, it's basically a bunch of drunk Midwesterners drinking unlimited beer in a sunny park during the day. Maybe it would be weird, but there's a pretty great vibe there, so I could see it working out fine.

(the website says kids are allowed btw)

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link

What kid wouldn't love watching some pole dancing and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with a corn dog and some fries?

Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link

that's not burlesque, either!

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link

ISN'T IT

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahaha that's straight up stripping

dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link

It depends on how the corn dog & fries are used.

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link

that's not burlesque, either!

Tell that to Amber, Angel, Montana, and Quinn.

Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link

...

oh, you said Quinn.

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link

the name Montana still instantly makes me thing of Montana Wildhack from Slaughterhouse 5.

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahaha

dan m, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link

not Hannah Montana?

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link

you know me better than that.

kenan, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Take it to the Teenpop thread.

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link

hey i only sorta learned who this hannah montana is but apparently she's huge! there are even s1mplicity patterns with her name on them!

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link

DID YOU KNOW: she's Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter?

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link

That I did know!

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link

and she's disney's pawn, no?

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't know who you people are talking about.

I'm trying to wean myself from "cheating" on crossword puzzles, but it's not going very well. I can only seem to complete one w/heavy internet assistance. :(

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link

there are support groups for cheaters like you.

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link

xxpost Yep.

We are talking about Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray's 14-year-old daughter, who appears on a Disney Channel TV show called Hannah Montana in which she plays a girl named Miley Stewart who performs as a pop singer named Hannah Montana. In real life, Miley Cyrus skips the middleman and performs and releases albums as Hannah Montana. Shit's huge among the tweener crowd. And certain ILXors.

I do crossword puzzles on the train, mostly, so I can't cheat.

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link

But don't you ever get stuck and frustrated?

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Of course I do. Then I just have to concentrate harder. Or ask Kr for help when I get home.

I don't know who Joey Greco is, but I'm sort of weirded out now by the fact that you sometimes call me Lil' J.

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link

http://www.oneacross.com is too tempting

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:16 (sixteen years ago) link

host of cheaters, dude!

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:22 (sixteen years ago) link

also: er1c & sarah had their baby.

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

We meant to tell you guys earlier. Sorry, Nick.

Eazy, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Eazy and Sarah Jammerman had a baby?!

xpost

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I like the name! Although I don't know if it is pronounced with an E sound or an I sound. Also, I had a dream last night that we were hanging out with the baby in Cr1ss3y 6 and K3rry wouldn't shut up about The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

It can be playmates with mine and 3van's kid.

Jordan, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm going to go post that on their blog now.

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I just emailed eric to congratulate him & ask for tips on how to pronounce it. That is a HILARIOUS dream, dude!

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

I know, right? Like I said on the blog: "...he kept interjecting to talk about how everything we were doing and saying would've been scripted if it were a "Fresh Prince" episode."

jaymc, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link

it's pronounced with a hard E. So, K-eye-lee

sweet tater, Friday, 3 August 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link

You mean a hard I.
