i should do this every day

Be born? You pervert.

"I wish to emerge from a vagina, bloody and covered with slime, every day."

omg TEH BEANS, YOU MUST SPILL THEM

also happy birthday, in your honor I'm going to watch one of my friends out here sing a tenor solo in a world premiere piece with the BSO and pretend it's a Current 93/Tear Garden collaboration.

Given David Tibet's taste these days it wouldn't be far from the truth.

I will do my level best to get some photodocumentation of John's party and share it, although I can't stay too late tonight, so I will likely miss items of interest.

HAPPEH BDAY JJ!

omg TEH BEANS, YOU MUST SPILL THEM

^THAT^

OK, so this guy special ordered this pedal from me, and i quoted him $400 on it. so now its a month later and he finally shows up, plays it, and likes it, and proceeds to offer $300 on it. i say no, and another customer in the store says he'd pay $350 for it, so the first guy panics and says he'll pay $375 for it. i refuse his offer, sell it to the $350 guy and tell the first guy to get the fuck out of my store. ^_^!

gree hee hee hee

an even better story i sadly cant take credit for, although i was there for it.

so there's this other store that are a bunch of cool guys, and the owner and i are talking at one point and this guy walks into the store. the owner pulls me aside and tells me that this guy has been coming into the store for 6 months offering $2000 on a $3000 custom shop Les Paul that he has in stock, like 2 or 3 times a week. so the owner grabs the guitar off the wall, sets it on the counter and starts doing some minor adjustments to it. sure enough, the guy walks up, starts talking about how the guitar will never sell at for $3000, and how he has a price quote from guitar center for $2000, but he'd rather buy it there to "support" a local store (which is 100% absolute guaranteed bullshit of course). without missing a beat, the owner reaches over, grabs a flatblade screwdriver and starts gouging the shit out of the face of the guitar, literally carving out ribbons of wood, paint flying off in chips, etc. the guy at this point is just staring at the guitar in abject horror. the owner stops, calmly sets the screwdriver down, and says "There you go. Now I'll sell it to you for $2000, you fucking asshole."

GREATEST VINDICATING SELF-DESTRUCTIVE MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF RETAIL.

john justen, i hope you have a very great birthday because you are very great <3<3, happy gree hee hee hee-ing!

hahahaha holy shit wow the custom les paul story

that is FANTASTIC

that really is a fantastic story, and you are so privileged to have been present

Hey! Happy Birthday!

Les Paul story = glorious.

But, I must know...what did the guy do in response? (Die of a heart attack, I want to hope.)

That story is AMAZING, it is true.

I did take pictures last night (FB also helped by taking some). I have to spend the day at the hospital and I have school tomorrow, but hopefully I will have some up to share on Tuesday.

happy birthday JJ!!

happy belated birthday

WOOT

― John Justen

still funny the second time round.

i hope you are going to do the same thing for this birthday!

I am pretty sure that John's birthday party was the oddest one that I've ever been to, and that I have the photos to prove it. (Getting them online is another thing, but at least I have them.)

Happy birthday, Irish. I promise not to clone you with the vast amount of hair that came home on my coat. Of course, you hugged a lot of people, and not everyone is as ethical as I...

wow...happy birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN-DAWG

Happy birthday fellow Cure/Depeche freak -- and we shall one day convince Dan as to Placebo's worth.

Happy Birthing day, I see that minnesota is celebrating your birthday with above zero weather.

LOL I think you have john confused with me re: Placebo, Ned.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

hey wow good morning. PS my birthday gave me a late late night drunken haircut YAY!

that sounds promising!

It was hard to tell what the weirdest part about that was: John's serene expression as his friend shaved his head and combed the rest with a comb meant for a cat, or poor FB trapped in the corner of John and K's bathroom, snapping photos.

loooooooooooool that photo of you on fb grinning like a maniac is priceless

<3

I wish there was a photo that could show the amount of hair that was on John's shoulders afterward. It was kind of amazing.

Happy birthday JJJ!

happy birthday john justen<3<3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A MOLLIFIED DAY!
