Leppotone

That is quite a lineup, sounds like a great time.  I'll be in Michigan so I will miss it.  Dern it.

So how did F&M get involved with Little Steven?  Does he give you airplay on his satellite radio show? 

Did you see all the sponsors of his home page?  Something funny about "CBGB Forever" on the same line as Dunkin Donuts.  Mmmmm custard-y.

Way to go Fortune and Maltese!!! That looks like fun.

I've a couple recent Buzzcocks albums that came through WIDR. They're decent. They don't stink up the joint.

"Girls in bikinis get in free". How's that going to be a winning financial situation? If only five girls show up in bikinis, that's $100 out the window. That'd be funny if a bunch of dudes trying to skip the cover charge by showing up in their bikinis.

I'm not sure who all is going.  I have heard rumors that Angie's going, and I have heard rumours that Cookie was considerin'.  I have to work Monday anyway (?!  Why the f*ck are we OPEN?!) and am a mighty poor traveller, so mutliple flights within the span of a two days would have me twitching and vacationing up on Oakland drive, prob'ly.  Though I did think pretty seriously about it!  Especially when we were all under the impression that it was a "private party" for Steven.  Who would show up to his private party?  Gandolfini?  The Boss?  Finding out it was more of a "garage event" dampened my enthusiasm a bit.   While I'd like to see the buzzcocks and the Shadows, I......I.....my one experience with all of the Betty Page lookalikes and costumery of "garage events" kind of turned me off. The shows are fun, but..... I have to admit that the bikini thing was the final straw for me (besides realizing that I didn't already have a four day weekend and that I'm the only admin staffer that didn't think ahead enough to realize to take Monday off!).  The "go-go dancer" schtick at garage things always fucking annoys.  I know it's supposed to just be kitchsy fun, but.......I can't even quite express why it aggravates me.  Ms. Info, I think you can understand my incoherent hackle-raising.  I can't put my finger on why, but I don't like it.  Also--Florida in July.  I'm just sayin'.  Sincerely, Patty Pooper

I feel ya - sometimes there are just cultural events that rub one the wrong way. Especially when the phenom is under the guise of kitchy and fun and hip even though it's pretty blatant objectifcation and patriarchal. What makes it different now than it was in the '60s? Sly self-awareness and a smirk while ogling the girlies doesn't make it more empowering to women, does it? 

Now, stick some hot dude in some sailor pants in one of those cages and the playing field might be leveled a bit. 

"Now, stick some hot dude in some sailor pants in one of those cages and the playing field might be leveled a bit."

This objectification will not stand! When will you learn that you can't treat objects like women?

Cages for no one! Hot pants for all! That is my campaign platform, by the way.

 And Florida is too hot anytime after April, if you ask me. Ugh. Why would people willingly live there?

Mickey said "I understand Dusty is going to have a really good time down there"

What are you insinuating?

"down there"?! 

I'm the only one allowed "down there", and I'm not going to Florida! 

"Hey Europe!  Eat my Florida!"

it's been said that one should not attempt eating anything bigger than one's head.

go kliban... go, go kliban.

You know THE BLADE and the Kliban books?  If we'd met in high school, our spouses wouldna had a chance.  Jebus, the amount of time spent guffawing over those with my best friend was ridiculous. 

FUCK THIS PRIMITIVE SHIT!

"Hey ottist!  Paint THIS!"

...said it's a mean-ass life.  That;'s what Tony G said to meee-heee!

I saw the sunrise over mah daddy's grave and i ate some cheese and rice todayyyyy!

simmer down Tree (EDIT: Last name removed at request of user. -DADMIN) not trying to start trouble here but I know you love to call me on my posts though, what I meant is the Buzzcocks are playing

Look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The SHadows of Knight

I would go down just to see those legends. Yeah I love and will always support F&M and The Pallbearers but The Shadows of Knight thats big time baby big time

You don't really understand why people don't like to use their real (especially last) names on the internet, do you?

someone is touchy I so feel a Leppotone feud coming on.   We havent had a good fued since Matt Dorben and John Hoppe were enemies

Mickey,

I am not exactly sure what you mean by feud.   I think I speak for everyone who posts to this forum when I say that there is that there is a big difference between honest discussion and debate about the relative merits of  various products of our culture (highly acceptable, with the idea of relative merits being commensurate with the fact that each of us very personal opinions and a desire to share and compare those opinions with the opinions of others) and taking things we write to some type of personal level of attack (highly unacceptable, especially given that you are dealing here with people whose friendships go back maybe 20 years or more).   I am not sure that taking that type of step is what you are talking about here (maybe this is just humor and I am missing it) but given the context of the post above (and the fact that you have personally exposed someone, perhaps to their employer, and as yet have not edited the post as requested) I would have some concern that perhaps you are serious.  Where exactly are you going with this? 

Mickey, stop writing people's real names, really that simple.

or Dadmin could set up some kinda censor thing with everybody's last name XXXXXXX'd out like on my board. 

Ditto on that, If you need to slap tree around a little on line then by all means do so, but don't endanger people's livelyhoods by naming names.  The effects won't just harm them, they'll harm their spouse and children too...

Damnit Mic!   Think about the Children!

As one who has had his own opinions on this forum subjected to scrutiny, debate, disagreement, and occasionally even ridicule, while recognizing at the same time that I dish out the same to everyone else on this thing and that it is ALL in good humor and good friendship (and in the process I have often been educated or enlightened about something I didn't know about or have been brought to a different perspective) let me quote here the bard John Brannon:

IF YOU CAN"T STAND THE HEAT GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!    

ok how do you edit posts????

well I see that I am making enimies here

All the girls in my mom's year book looked like Lavern and/or Shirley. My mom looked like Shirley, except for the glasses with the pointy pointy frames. My dad, on the other hand, looked just like Betty Page. Scary.

That's awsome that you're going!!  How fun.  Lil' steven will be happy.  I'm sure hubby would be too :)

I have never seen my moms yearbook.   

Never fear. I'll work on getting your editing back. In the meantime, I'll fix up the post in question.

I probably won't filter, because I like the craziness. I'm a mess that way.  

hug with nuclear arms?????

huh???????
