Could someone grab a copy of the comp for me too, if there are enough (I'm on it too)? I could pick it up...sometime.

So last night one of the dudes in the band said he only really liked 3 or 4 musical acts after about 1980. I'm not really sure what that means, but do you think I should be worried about it?

Sounds like pretty typical music dork hyperbole, I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh shit, dan, I forgot about this ... we are cool with trying to set up a show with you guys, but we probably wouldn't be able to do it until october. I can call a few places and try and get a weekend date.

I didn't ask which ones! I was kind of blown away by the statement, and then we started playing again. Later on, I was kicking myself for not asking.

KJSL just turned down a New Year's gig b/c the money wasn't good enough. I'm glad we stuck to our guns that and that no one will feel taken advantage of, but it would've been a really fun gig. :(

Is she the one with the large photos of herself on the back of her books?
I am sort of interested in reading The Time Traveler's Wife, which Kr just finished, although Kr said that the constant Chicago references were sort of annoying (like she couldn't say "He walked down the street" without specifying "He walked down Damen Avenue"). But the premise sounds vaguely Eternal Sunshine-y.

aren't they always? Man, that bugs me about this city. No celebrity can ever set foot in the city without the city laying some kind of spurious claim to him or her. It's infuriating.

I liked TTW, in spite of myself (I was expecting chick lit + sci-fi lite, which it kind of is, but pretty good).

I LOVED the Time Traveler's Wife. loved it.
I was kinda meh on My Sister's Keeper. I think I was far more distant with the characters & less emotionally entangled than the author was hoping for so I think I was a "bad reader" of that book, if that makes sense. It's been a long time since I read it though. I found the major dilemma compelling though.

I'm still delighted by Chicago references in movies.

Kopi cafe is specifically mentioned in the TTW.

Well, you don't need to tell people that Common and Kanye are from Chicago anymore. But it seems like if there's the slightest chance that someone doesn't know that the person being referred to once lived in Chicago, or was born in Kenosha, or wtf ever, then unsing the adjective "Chicagoan" before that person's name is mandatory. Even and almost especially if the connection to Chicago is totally irrelevant.
― kenan, Wednesday, 22 August 2007 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link
I didn't mind the references, I guess. I liked knowing what they meant in a real way vs. a book mentioning, for example, streets in Boston. I have no real context for Boston.
I really wish I could read at my desk. That would be great.
