Well, the Lingering Death Virus has mostly abated, mild spews notwithstanding.
What has not abated is the client created hells. I see that I have to demand more money for these things, to cover for the headaches when the inevitable problems arise. Also, I need to budget for a new Department of Two Large Men With Tattoos. I predict they will be most active.
My favorite part of the last week; The Republicans repeatedly referring to an Abraham Lincoln quote that he did not say. Listen, guys, when you can mange to look something up on the Intertubes without fucking it up, we'll let you have a little bit of power again. Maybe.

The Apples in Stereo – Same Old Drag
David Bowie – The Man Who Sold The World
Jeff Beck – Goodbye Porkpie Hat
Jane’s Addiction – My Time
The Raconteurs – Level
Flogging Molly – Devil’s Dance Floor
Medeski, Martin & Wood – Afrique
The The – Gravitate To Me
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions – Perfect Blue
The Dears – The Highest
Brian Borcherdt – Co.
Christ, you're a whiny sumbitch.
ReplyDeleteFine. I won't get you a ticket.
I'll see you at Think Floyd though, right? Oh, right, it's a SATURDAY. Zelmo can't get OUT.
So basically, your whole post there was like a Repulbican, lies and deflections.
I like the Raconteurs better than the White stripes.
Hey, it's a miracle I get to see Sebadoh. Don't stretch my luck.
ReplyDeleteAnything Jack White touches turns to gold.
I said I don't care for the White Stripes. So they are Not Gold.
ReplyDeleteSo, lemme get this straight: If I am out buying reserved seats for Roger Waters, you're not interested? Waters at Summerfest, you are going to be wandering out into the Foreigner cover band stage? Or are you holding out for Toby Keith?
But you will be buying tickets for the non-existent David Gilmour or pseudo-Pink shows?
Just trying to be CLEAR here.
Unfortunately I am out of town the first weekend of Summerfest, and will not be back until the 4th.
ReplyDeleteFamily commitments beyond my control. No excuse, I know. Trust me, there was plenty of whining, negotiation, outright begging, blackmail. But in the end, my marriage is still intact, and I still get 4 good days.
Remember that list? The one with all the bands?
ReplyDeleteYou're falling behind, my droogie. As well as being hopelessly mired in the 70's.
Cover bands don't count. You can see those at any backwoods wedding.
The 70's ROCK.
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm disappointed. Who am I going to call from the Fest Grounds on the FirstDay Thursday? who to share the first Hot Link with?
ReplyDeleteI need some Prime Surfers, my droogie, some prime Surfers!
Dude, this will hurt ME a lot more than it hurts you.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to start training an understudy immediately.
Well, you're right about that.
ReplyDeleteBut if I fall short of the elevenfecta this year, you know who's taking the blame right?
Well, probably George Bush or Dick Cheney, right. Or maybe Renner.
Repeat the Elevenfecta???
ReplyDeleteThey say it CAN'T BE DONE!!!
Well, not if I can't build up a host of surfing compatriots.
ReplyDeleteBegin the Summerfest Blog NOW!
ReplyDeleteRally the troops!
Alert the Media!
You need a publicist and full time marketing campaign to lay the groundwork before opening day.
This is BIG.
I am large and in charge.
