Title: What are you doing instead of seeing the Pumpkins?
Post by: DeathFromAbove1979 on July 10, 2007, 01:30:00 pm
I created my own simpsons character last night when I found out a friend of mine got an extra ticket:

 But tonight I think I'm going to watch a bootlegged copy of Transformers OR go see Harry Potter. You? Poor saps?

I'm getting my hair cut, then Metro-ing to the burbs, stopping by a box store and grabbing the new Spoon album, grabbing some take home pizza, chilling with my babes, watching the All-Star game and the Shaq weight loss show.

While everyone's away, trying to change the name of the club to:
 
 The Fillmore AT the Nightclub 9:30.
 
 I don't think anyone will notice.

No plans. I'm not a fan so I'm not missing anything. Maybe I'll finally finish reading my cousin's book on epistemology in science.

im going to see absinthe. See a  video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9069481818174295316) here.
 
 Absinthe (Off-Broadway)  <img src="http://www.broadway.com/site_images/532778.jpg" alt=" - " />
 Slip through Alice's looking glass and be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor. Absinthe is an astonishing array of the sexiest, funniest, wettest and wildest acts you'll ever see!
   
 A night time saunter through the strangest, most sultry circus in town. Absinthe, the main attraction of Spiegeltent at the Fulton Fish Markets, collides fair ground attraction with torch song and spectacle within the elegant, sumptuous surrounds of this exceptional venue. The Spiegeltent is an opulent venue of canvas, cut glass, teak, mirrors, billowing velvet and brocade overlooking one of the most breathtaking views of the city. Get ready for the most exciting experience to hit the NYC - the Spiegeltent comes to our shores for nine weeks only. Grab your friends, bring your drinks back to your seat and take in the jaw-dropping beauty & mystery of this extravaganza.
 
 The producers of Absinthe have spent six months roaming the carnivals, sideshow and burlesque bars of Europe to bring together an even more exciting line-up of acts to make a triumphant return to New York with a twist, a shimmy and a shot in the dark. Absinthe celebrates the risk, danger, sensuality and pure unadulterated pleasure that a night in the cabaret circus should be!

Most likely working on another poster and occasionaly placing my hand on my wife's belly to feel the kid kicking around.

No, I'm serious for once today.  I've been to two (Anaheim '89 and Piitsburgh '94) and they kind of suck (they take forever and it's played at exhibition pace, which is difficult to watch at times).  Maybe I should let somebody go who hasn't been.

i was at this. i think it was the last entertaining all-star game. 9th inning game-tying home run by fred mcgriff and then tony gwynn scoring from first base on a double by moises alou in the 10th. also, i got a foul ball.

I'll be going to our new house that we go to closing on at the end of the month to measure for furniture, then I might have a fashion parade at home to see which would be the most appropiate t-shirt to wear for Morrissey on Saturday.

Based on the Smashing Pumpkins thread, the more All Star games you've been to, the more worthy of the tickets you are. Why let a newbie have any fun? Think of yourself for once, man.

Well, a pending lawsuit by the ADF has ruined my chances of going to the game tonight so I'm "letting" someone else go to the game.  Such a good guy I am...

Go American League, I will watch the game.  Probably stating the obvious, rather be at the show.

I'll most likely be packing boxes and bags and my car. Then looking at my car and feeling like hunting down the motherfucker that caused my accident yesterday and wanting to punch him.
 
 Then will probably go to my BF's and watch some movies.

Packing boxes and watching the All Star Game on tv.
 
 I would go just to go to a game at that stadium!  Definitely on my must-see list for baseball games.

A buddy of mine and I saw Transformers and then snuck into Die Hard. That was some sensory overload, for sure.

Well, I have a vintage Smiths t-shirt but that's too obvious, and I have a Manchester United team jersey and t-shirt and also a Roy Keane t-shirt...the Roy Keane one would be more for the in-in-crowd, you'd have to either be a manc or a English footie fan big time to make that connection. I'll probably end up wearing a summer casual button-up shirt though, because the last time I wore something manc at a Morrissey show I was innundated with questions about "are you from Manchester? KEWL!" It's great if you're trying to score with a chicky-babe because it's a good ice-breaker, then the accent pretty much does the rest, but now I'm married and faithful as a labrador it's kind of annoying. If I see anyone with a New York Dolls t-shirt at the show I'll buy them a beer because that's a real in-in-in-crowd connection.
 
 Oh, I'm happy to report our new sofa will fit perfectly in our new house. We got a great deal on it too, so the wife's happy, and I'm happy I don't have to get dragged around furniture stores anymore - those people are more annoying than car sales people aren't they? My Tuesday evening was much more productive than a Billy Corgan with a punkins cover band gig.

nope, jewish, and "Hannah" is a Woody Allen movie that i had missed for whatever reason (I believe the 11th commandment is to see at least half of Woody's films and be able to quote liberally from them)
 
 Michael Caine was really fantastic in it, as was Dianne Wiest ... but the constant voice-overs kind of got on my nerves after a while
 
 was there a gay theme that i missed?

Read this.  Great q&a thread.  Steve Albini only comes off like an ass when stupid questions are asked.
 
 Best q&a of the thread was:
 
 Q: Vinyl or Digital?
 
 A: Vagina.  You find them on women.

Steve is not a fan of Urge Overkill.   :)  
 
 I liked:
 Q:  1) Beatles or Stones?
 
 A:  Stooges.
 
 Q:  Do you think bands that are severely derivative, like most garage rock bands, are inferior to bands like Jesus Lizard who sound totally unique?
 
 A:  Yes. In other news, I think Ice is cold, fire is hot and the sun will probably come up tomorrow.
