It's May 4. It's snowing.

Who's in?

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 5 April 2003 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Gah? It's April 4th, you big silly. Unless you mean 5-4 as a tentative FAP date.

And yeah, I'm in. I'm not much of a drinker but what the hell, I need to socialize more often.

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 5 April 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm in. It better not be snowing May 4.

Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 5 April 2003 05:02 (twenty-two years ago)

ok so your both coming and you can call me a dumbshit then.

here's the tentative: Bryant Lake Bowl, the 10th.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 5 April 2003 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

godDAMmit 'you're' I really need to hit the sack...

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 5 April 2003 05:18 (twenty-two years ago)

How about the 11th? It can't be a night where I have to work the next day, since I have to get up at 6.

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 5 April 2003 05:19 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm what abt early evening on the 10th tho? BLB serves food. The turkey avocado bacon sandwich is terrific.

Josh'll be there!!

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 5 April 2003 06:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Look you guys, I have a tentative plan to come home for a visit during State Fair time, just so Ed can see the variety of foods it's possible to serve on a stick, etc. We're planning a FAP at the Triple Rock (even though I do not own a wallet chain, I still drink there when in town).

suzy (suzy), Saturday, 5 April 2003 06:09 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe it'll be time for a second FAP by then?

Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 5 April 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Probably, Dan (Am also trying to exert gentle pressure on Mr Perry to fly home for family visit at this time). Where in the Cities are you, again?

Alternatively you guys could always go to Bunny's and hassle my sister to introduce you to Mike Tice. I don't think she understands the concept of 'internet message board' though, so would be freaked out by mentalists going into her workplace claiming to know her sister in London.

suzy (suzy), Saturday, 5 April 2003 07:35 (twenty-two years ago)

obv I can't make the 11th FAP since I'll be in Seattle (where my own FAP is going on later, like the 18th) but I'm quite certain I'll be making it to the Triple Rock one. and yes Dan the Mang must come!

M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 5 April 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn, I'm leaving for Seattle on Thursday. Later Wednesday, maybe?

Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Saturday, 5 April 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh'll be there!!

Er...

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 5 April 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Careful money management is required for me to make Labor Day; YAY PAYING FOR GRAD SCHOOL oh wat, that should be BOO BOOO BOO I WANT MY MONEY.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 5 April 2003 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, my little sis is also a travel agent...

suzy (suzy), Saturday, 5 April 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

ok ok it looks like thurs is problematic. would wed. be okay for everybody else?

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Saturday, 5 April 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Anytime after 5 PM on Wednesday works for me.

Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Saturday, 5 April 2003 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess Wednesday would be all right, if I can get a ride home or something.

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 6 April 2003 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, my little sis is also a travel agent...

Hm....does she know any good deals from LA to London in October? ;-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 6 April 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

suzy's sis knows Mike Tice!

James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 6 April 2003 07:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm there.

p.s. Triple Rock for FAP2, but NOT on 2for1 night. it gets too crowded to move.

gabriel (gabe), Sunday, 6 April 2003 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

mmm food on a stick...

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 6 April 2003 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I can give you a ride Patrin, if you'd like.

Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Sunday, 6 April 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Wicked awesome. I live near downtown St. Paul.

(Of course, the ride would be completely moot if we went to La Cucaracha, which I live literally one block from. But the BLB is fine too.)

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Sunday, 6 April 2003 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll stop by and say hi if you have this Wednesday at the BLB. I'm sick and busy, but it's a few blocks from my house, so what the hey...

Pete Scholtes, Sunday, 6 April 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

okay to sum up: BLB Wed 9th, let's say 6:30ish?

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Sunday, 6 April 2003 23:20 (twenty-two years ago)

If there ends up being a MPLSFAP sometime in the first couple of weeks of August, can I come? I'm personable, and when I'm drunk I like to buy rounds.

Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 7 April 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Sounds doable. I'll try to make it around then. Hope they take checks (I don't get paid until the end of the week).

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 7 April 2003 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

so is anyone else planning on going to see Les Savy Fav?

i think i want to, but a drunkassbikeride from Uptown to Midway in the dark would take years(and I have no more spleens left unruptured by twin cities curbs).


i'm pretty sure its not in the spirit of the sacred FAP to stand silently next to each other watching OTHER people flail around brilliantly/idiotically...
..but if everyone else is up for it, we could meet up at one of the many little dives along University, heatedly debate the merits and failings of LSF, and THEN decide.


(curious... FAPs are designed to remind me of the dissonance between my written and spoken selves)

gabriel (gabe), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Well put. I'm planning on going to LSF on Wednesday. I also live in Uptown (not far from the BLB). So, you're welcome to catch a ride to St. Paul instead of biking. Just lemme know. Of course that goes for any FAPers anxious to cross the river.

Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

well, should we change our spot at this late hour? I'm kind of against that, since BLB is so nice for conversation at that hour. and I know fuckall abt st paul bars. and I'm okay with driving, if I end up going to LSF.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean I know we decided to do it early bcz it's a schoolnight and all, which going to LSF kind of obviates, but hey, I'm all about options.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still up for La Cucaracha, since I'm a turn-in-early no-funner. A final decision should be made pretty soon since I work all day tomorrow and I don't have e-mail access from work.

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

(Also still up for BLB of course)

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

(Oddly it seems that I can not get my e-mail AT ALL...)

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

No, wait, scratch that. It works now.

Yeah.

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

bryant lake bowl is fine with me.
i'll be there at 6:30 or so.

i'll be the boy with the flower on his lapel, trying to look inconspicuous despite the blue-text email address floating next to me in parentheses.

gabriel (gabe), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 03:53 (twenty-two years ago)

plans are plans. blb it is.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be wearing a Stooges shirt and ghastly sideburns. FEAR!

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Stooges shirt and Sideburns? HOT! I might be wearing my homecoming dress from Sophomore year of high school. And I know a few of you, so it should be no problem tracking you down.

Kate Silver (Kate Silver), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck. I have to be all responsible and work tonight. Fuck.

Dan I., Wednesday, 9 April 2003 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I skipped work. HAHAHA take that Responsible Dan!

Dan I. (Dan I.), Thursday, 10 April 2003 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

hello. that was fun.

um, les savy fav's singer sat on my face last night.

yup.

gabriel (gabe), Friday, 11 April 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

What the fuck? Damn my need to turn in early! I DEMAND PHOTOS

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 11 April 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...
What does everyone think about maybe having another one June 6 at the Lifter Puller show? See, there's huge pros and cons though.

BAD THINGS: if you don't already have a ticket (I don't, for instance), then you'll probably have to wait in line pretty much all day; also, you may not like Lifter Puller, and concert FAPS have a somewhat bad reputation.

GOOD THINGS: Matos and John-the-ilxor-who-will-also-be-playing-that-night will be there (though I'm guessing John may not have any time for us which is understandable), and if I'm not mistaken it'll pretty much be the national indie-rock event to be at of the season, and, you know, if you do like Lifter Puller, that's a big plus too, of course.

I can't make up my mind, myself; it just seemed like a logical date and place to suggest.

Dan i., Sunday, 11 May 2003 22:35 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a couple of other nights too, but no Mountain Goats at those ones I think! :(

Dan I., Sunday, 11 May 2003 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm already going to that show, too. I am GEEKED

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 12 May 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

if you managed to get tickets already i'm jealous! I guess there are worse times of the year to wait in long lines though...

Dan I. (Dan I.), Monday, 12 May 2003 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Best! Show! Evah! (approximately)

M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 12 May 2003 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...
revive, motherfuckaz. bought my Mpls tix today for the big LP showz and it's SO ON. am even hoping to bring my sisters (16 & 17) to the Sunday all ages show, but given the rabidness of the fanz wish me luck.

SO. FAPping must occur, and I think Thursday the 5th would be a good time to do something separate from the shows (it's the night before). Dan I, Kate Silver (my host, thank you!), Nate, hopefully some City Pages folk reading this...who else? and if J0hn D is reading, if you are in Mpls the night before the show PLEASE join us if you can. thanks!

M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

FAP = good. LP = no tix (sold out I'd heard [you got 'em yesterday?]) = d'oh.

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Thursday, 29 May 2003 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I got 'em the day they went on sale (through other people).

M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 29 May 2003 05:12 (twenty-two years ago)

oh smooth one geoff: "bought my Mpls tix today" = transport, not concert i geddit i geddit

g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Thursday, 29 May 2003 07:13 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah Matos you don't wanna hang out with me before a show, I get even more keyed-up than usual and it's not a pleasant sight to see

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 29 May 2003 07:43 (twenty-two years ago)

well, hmmm, it's not looking like a FAP's happening anyway so it'll more likely be a show thing. ah well. more time to spend w/my family, I suppose.
