The Long Winters

And copy #11 or so went to...



My understanding is that there weren't that many left - might have actually sold out last night?

Oops, missed this thread and re-posted about the 10/24 SF show. (Was looking in Swoon.) Sorry...

I have it on good authority that the Captain will come ashore in SF during a grand eve of music featuring Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard.

Details here.

A colossal new ring has been idenitfied around Saturn!!! Saturn is the fiercest, most fabulous planet on the runway - first it gave us cutting edge ice water on Enceladus, now a new ring! WORK! Oh, also, John's playing a show here in SF and I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet. I'll cover that e...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Okay, Paige is rad enough as a name but LORELEI....

Why, you've gone and named your child after one of my favorite Cocteau Twins songs of all time!!!!!

*wild applause*

OMG so cool. How long does it take to get to Swaziland from Austria, exactly? And did it involve riding elephants and being in canoes ? Please say yes.

Holy My God. Lost in Love? Did we have to go there? Suddenly I'm back at the Eastridge Ice Arena in an aqua leotard with matching wraparound skirt. The routine I created to the title track of that album was breathtaking. I was seriously channeling Tai Babilonia. You have no idea who I'm talking abou...

happy birthday ! I hope it is, as we say in the vernacular, hella great.

Death Metal Parrot would so totally appreciate my Darkthrone collection.

ps: speaking of Washington, which we are always *kinda* doing by default, I saw Wolves in the Throne Room at SXSW. They were nifty, and took the BYOC
(Bring Your Own Candelabra) concept to the next level.

Whoa whoa WHOA. Claire's a big sister now?!

Ooops. Can't believe I left that there. My bad.

ps: this post is making me crave a pressure drop from Rudy's. espresso and guinness. mmmmmmmm.

And since her mgmt are playing it conservatively and not booking a stadium tour, I get to see her in a beautifully renovated Art Deco theatre. After her ...

Yeah I made the same decision last year. this is my 3rd civic. kinda miss that old 86 hatchback. it was like driving a school lunch milk carton. very cute.

The Exploding Squid Population

Dr. Bruce Robison of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute describes squid as "big, aggressive, pugnacious animals," and says part of the squid's success is its taste for almost everything.

Come to think of it, I am feeling a little snacky...

So it's like, 52 people named John and one guy named Sherman? That's just wacky.

Did this already happen?

Hi. My name is Squid. I was set free from my office for a crazy festival, but aside from that i have zero contact with the outside world

Missing everyone from over here.

i have successfully avoided twitter but might have to cave for sxsw. my handle will most certainly be twittercrite, since i'm hardly a fan...

*hangs head*

There will NEVER be another like him.

I recommend "URGH! A Music War" to all who have not seen it.

*tentacles droop*

*sigh*

oooooooooooooooh. so sleep deprived. i feel like that kids in the hall skit where they party across the country and then have to go clean up afterwards.

oooooooooooooooh.

ps: and I was only in SF so I can imagine how the peeps in Chi-town and DC feel...

YES! BUILD YOUR OWN SQUID!

As if this exhibit could get any cooler:

There has been a Leonard Cohen sighting at the Colossal Squid exhibit.

I didn't think there was room in the cosmos for a meeting of Colossal Squid and Leonard Cohen. It feels...holy.
