decent, at best.  the ticket price doesn't justify for my liking.  i won't be going anyway.

 

but, if you like and go...have a good time and drink one for me. definitely a fun event.  

 

i've only gone to Lolla once since it started back up.  my first was in 96 with Metallica!

Yes, that's me.

I can't even change my username on this shit yet because I haven't made enough posts. AIN'T GOT NO TIME FOR THAT. At least not right now because I just want to cry in a corner, but this dude sending me butt pics is keeping me sane. A+

karma is a bitch

 

karma... like losing by 30?  like nobody sees that coming.

Here's a true confession: 

 

I really don't give a shit about gay marriage and the only reason i want to them to pass it is so people stop bitching, but then again someone will always bitch either way. 

 

ditto.

 

gooooo skyrocketing divorce rates!

who sees an all Big 10 final four.  put the bias aside charles barkley... turrible!

 

i don't see michigan state getting out.  michigan might be a stretch, but playing well.  indiana for sure can make it.  ohio state, yes.

 

my ranking for chances of making it:

 

ohio state

indiana

michigan

michigan state

 

 

this is probably a no brainer - but throwing it out there.

let's change the subject about this FGCU talk.  no need to attack or poke at people.  ("WAH" comment).

 

VCU - good year - been a nice run the last few years.

 

FCGU - nobody saw this coming, lost to a D2 school this year... blah blah blah.  Florida will probably smoke them.

 

quality basketball ahead this coming weekend - very excited.  Louisville seems to be the strongest right now, but at any time, anybody can win. 

 

why is marquette still in this thing?!?

to get malonekw's post out of the way:

 

shaka is not leaving.

he didn't leave to go to Illinois - doubt he does for MN.  

Worst pain would be:

Double ear infection plus 3 hour flight

Or

Punctured my hand with a knife - between thumb and index finger. Could see in it and all the tissue.

Any story will be trumped with child birth or kidney stones. Ears on the flight were brutal though.

Just had a double ear infection... And had to fly back into Chicago with it. Horrible pain.

Got antibiotics and let them run their course. Pain went away after 2 days. Took my meds for 10 days. Didnt mess with anything else - just gutted it out.

my seats today.

I thought they were too cocky for their own good as well. Let's see how well they do against Florida.

 

they will lose by 20+ most likely.  

 

dayton was a nice place to be today with those two games.

Happy to see a 15 seed go the sweet 16, but fgcu is acting extremely obnoxious. Wait to the end of the game to celebrate, just bc it's an upset does t mean they shouldn't be hit with a tech

 

disagree.  they weren't acting obnoxious on the court.  sure, they were making dancing around on the benches...such is life.  

i was at the United Center a couple years ago when VCU made their splash and witnessed the same behavior in person - but I am sure you were not complaining.

 

and sorry VCU got destroyed.  might be best you turn the TV off the rest of the tournament. 

Electric Daisy, Spring Awakening and Wavefront all happening in Chicago between May and July.  Not too many big names at Lolla.

Missing from those fests are Deadmau5 and Skrillex (bigger performer names).

Bigger fad - Kings of Leon or Harlem Shake?

 

Both ran their course.   Don't see Bauuer happening.

 

I was just making a mock.  Can't really guess on who will be there.  I can see Daft Punk being there compared to not being there.

this is like bracketology, but for Lolla!

 

First Four Out

 

David Bowie

Prince

 

Next Four Out

Bruce Spingsteen

 

Automatic Bids

Daft Punk

Site is really starting to slow.

I'll be the first to admit to Jersey Shore

They went on sale around 2:20p on Tuesday last year and were gone in about a minute. 

wesley willis headbutted me once.

Met Andrew WK at Portillos in Bollingbrook.

She comes from a super catholic family. 

 

find a date.  find two.

My one encounter...  not as good as Ronnie's...

 

I was at an Atmosphere show in 2003 at Metro Chicago.  Dillinger 4 had opened up as they were also a Minnesota thing.  During the show, I was appalled by how awful they were, so I was voicing my displeasure to my brother, who was with.  One girl took exception to me and was saying how disrespectful I was talking shit about how bad they were.  I got into that argument of how I am entitled to my opinion, etc.  I didn't do anything disrespectful to the band (middle fingers, f-you's, etc).  We got heated and said she was Slug's girlfriend.  I told her to fuck herself.  5 minutes later, I was being pulled back into the crowd by the hood of my hoodie... it was Slug from atmosphere).  Obviously in a drunken stupor, he started asking if I had problems with him or his girlfriend or his friends in the band.  I was wondering where the hell I was... it was quite a moment.  People were screaming Slug!  Slug!  It was so fast and so bizarre.

Two major ones... and these are hardly celebs...

 

Dan Patrick at the 2005 MLB All Star Game in Detroit.  Sat next to me.  

Had a glass of wine with Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt years ago.

Obama greeted a 10 of us on Staten Island when we were working there after Hurricane Sandy and he was visiting.  Gave us about 5 minutes of his time.  That was fascinating overall.  One of those..."did that just happen" moments.
