I've been pretty inactive on this site for the past few weeks, and will continue to be due to my lack of internet in my new place. One of my roomates has wireless internet, but I think he might be charged by the hour. Plus, he's gay so it might be odd asking him to lend me his computer so I could check out a...

I'm back from NYC! Man, was it fun... My friends and I tried to balance out the touristy things with more underground, NY scene types of things. Nothing too terribly exciting happened, but it was pure fun from beginning to end. Here's a quick synopsis of our week:
Monday: arrive at the Roger Williams Hotel in Manhattan. We walk around. then go out to eat,...

Man! I'm jealous! Glad to hear you had a good time.
The Television find is amazing, especially in the such an area. Those bastards usually snatch up an any original pressings they can find...they are like a disease...a hipster locust!!!
...that reminds me, were there any Sacata attacks whilst you were there. The way they talked about it on television it was as if you would just see someone be eaten alive on a city street. But then again the TV has been known to tell lies every once and a while

SOOOOOOOOO envious of you finding that television LP!!!!!!!!!!!!argh!!!!!!!!
At least I got to see them when I was in NY in March! Noticed on the groups that you had mentioned the prids... I just put up some pics of them under my profile if you wanna check em out!

I'm now officially moved in to my new house in SF! I spent my first night as an official resident of the city with my roomates and some freinds playing the Simpsons version of Battle of the Sexes, and then woke up to start packing for my trip to NYC. This is a lot more packing/unpacking/repacking/unrepacking/carrying stuff than I ever want to do again, but...

Okay, I'm intrigued. I've never heard of the battle of the sexes game but it sounds interesting and if the Simpsons are involved that makes it better by about ten-fold. Is drinking involved?
If this is nothing more than a guys against girls Simpsons trivia game I am going to be severely disappointed.
ps hope you have/are having/had an enjoyable time in NYC. What did/are you thinking/think/thought of the Blood Brothers show?
The future, present and past all in one/two sentence(s)...pretty slick ehhh?!?!
I'm gonna stop now

I AM OUT OF CHICO FOR GOOD!
Yeah.. it feels nice to say that. I moved everything out of my apartment this past weekend (in 100 degree heat, right after I came down with a nasty head cold...), in order to do a walkthrough in my "cleaned" apartment with my landlord. (first thing she did upon walking in was look at a huge multicolored mess...

What will be weird is unpacking. You slowly realize that moving would have been so much easier had you just throw out all the shit that you end up throwing out as you unpack. It's funny how the value of some un-throw-out-able items dwindles for the sake of a clutter-free new space.
Congrats on the move!

Man, packing and cleaning out stuff for moving sucks. Sure, the impending move gets me excited, but the fact that I have to almost obsessively look through every piece of paper that I've saved over the past few years to see if it could hold any nostalgic value makes a simple housecleaning task take an entire day... or two.

Everytime I rearrange my room or something I come across a box of letters or old school papers that ends up turning a few hour task into an all day ordeal. Coming across the photo albums always depresses the hell out of me though...

longblackbangs:
Wow, I almost pooped my pants after receiving that link
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm really anxious to hear the new album. Each of their albums consecutively revamped their sound but for some weird reason I just assumed the new one would stick to the Danse Macabre formula. I'm not a huge fan of Drop Kick the Punks but the other two were gosh darn amazing! I'm doing my best not to play out Souther Belles in London Sing before I can actually get my hands on the album in September...but well see.


So the other day I go to a club in SF for an afterparty for the Live 105 BFD concert. I park on Harrison ST, thinking that the club is a block or so a way. After walking half a mile, I find myself, a skinny white boy, wandering through the Tenderloin alone at 12:30 AM thinking "ho-boy, am I out of place" as several...

When reading the tale of your friends wisdom teeth pulling experience I could help but picture the scene in the original Batman movie where the surgeon is working on the Joker in that little basement.
...when shit is getting pulled out of my head/face area I really don't want to spare any expenses. Maybe thats just me
Oh, and your suggestion about saving the molars for a freak accident has been duly noted my friend. You know, I sort of see it as evolution happening before my eyes. I'm too passive to start/get in a fight...I mean I've only been punched in the face once. But I do have a weird vision of kissing a girl so hard that she smashes out my front teeth. (Stay with me here, the evolution part is coming up). Well when that happens I'll know I met the girl of my dreams and then I'll have to get my molars put in where my sharper incisor and canine teeth once were. Well since my diet doesn't require me to rip apart meat but rather chew veggies, grains, and legumes I will have a mouth full of teeth made just for that purpose. You know, like a Brontosaurus. Thus I will be more efficient when eating, save energy which will save food and saving food will in turn save money.
(sorry for that totally asinine last paragraph
)
Wearing a dress around other people who find the humor is funny. I did it last halloween (ps most comfertable costume ever ) . But taking it up to the counter when you pay for it is an akward experience though, even if you just get it at Goodwill. It's funny how it works like that.

nothing rocks like red slime.
I've been prety inactive on the net for the past week or so. My friends and I have been looking for a place to live, and I think we may have found it: a place in the Richmomd District on 40th Ave and Geary (close to a direct line to UCSF where one of my roomates will go, and in a safe area in an...

Congrat! Wow, I'm jealous. I have no idea about when/where I'm gonna get a place at the moment and probably won't be able to go look at anything for about a month. Again, congratulations.
New York and the BloodBrothers.
Good luck with the job too. I will be curious to know how the employment outlook is at this point in time.

ooohh my goodness. the finals schedual always worries me. I was an hour late for one a few weeks ago. I guess I assumed that since my first class on that day fell at the normal time, so must this one
My stomach dropped when I saw a few people handing their tests in as I was just walking through the door.
So where did you see stuff besides craigslist?

I'm out of school now. Finally. I've found that recently, for all my bashing of this town and its generally annoying residents, I have been trying to go out as often as possible with as many friends as possible before I have to move. Maybe I'll miss this place after all. I mean, where else can you get 25 cent kamikaze shots?
longblackbangs:
yeah, the interpol thing
I got that comment a few times that night. When I tried to explain that I was going for the Joy Division subway-esque look I just got blank looks
Oh well.
So when do you move?

We were indeed at Jack's! That place is quite the adventure into human behavior...as are many places in Chico afterhours. My heart went out to the poor girls that were waiting tables in that dive.
So only got a month till your in the city. My friend and I are planning on moving in August. Actually he'll be there in September but we're planning on getting the place in August. So I'll have the place to myself for a month which should be cool.
So what part of the city are you looking at? We are planning on the Sunset which is between Golden Gate park and SF State. It seems to be the cheapest plus it is near the ocean. (Sorry if I already asked you before, I think I might have but it has since slipped my mind.

I'm dealing with the final week of school I may ever experience. All my finals and projects are due on Monday, so this weekend is going to pass slowly, and with little sleep. Good luck to everyone else who's about to enter finals week!

I think I've officially caught up on all the sleep I missed out on during Coachella. It took lots of hard work and laying around the house, but I did it!
Anyway, my final radio show - EVER! - will be this Wednesday. You can listen at KCSC; it's from 6-8 Western time and I play a variety of indie rock, new wave, punk,...

Cautiously optimistic, as you say, is a great way to describe my feelings on the change brought by moving to SF. Much of the problems are on my end, rooted in my behavior and lack of socializing. It, however, is always somewhat comforting to hear from someone who is at least somewhat on the same page.
The show has decided to come in this week. So at least I managed to catch one even if it is your last
. 25 minutes into it I can safely say youve got damn good tasteand now Jenny Lewiss voice popped on
(and now the Electedthumbs up!
)
ps I will definitely try to check out that Peeking Chinese. thanks.
pss What was the synth pop-esque group towards the first half? The mic cut out but it sounded like Spit we are eyes, we are buildings ? Am I way off?

Your last show closing statement about the "one of the few good memories about Chico" did not fall on deaf ears

Send my love to the Prids! I can''t wait to see them at a better venue! And give Reagan a huge smooch from me at the burlesque show!!!!

Let's see, my place in on the very very outside of Daly City. About a five minute walk to the BART station there and about twenty minute walk to SFSU. Oh and I move in on August 1st.
Both the Moving Units and the Lovemakers are two shows I'm gonna try my damnedest to get to. But that will require the finding of a job so I will have the spending money so...fingers crossed...good luck with your job search as well.
