A 40yo woman was talking about how her father only left her money, $6k per month. And how will she Pay bills? Well maybe if u didn't pay hundreds for some ugly ass leggings. some patterns should remain on the contemporary art museums walls.

Rivers...Weezer...Pinkerton

Last night, January 8th at the Aragon. If you are not a Weezer fan, you would have seen a lot of geeks rocking out.

to all of Pinkerton, B-sides, newer stuff.

There was an opening act from SF that wasn't very good.
Then there were the boys. Huge back drop of Hurley for the first set. Cardboard cutout of Chewbacca on the left side of the stage. They started with the most recent songs and worked backward to 1995 - Suzanne (also on the motion picture soundtrack of Mallrats), and You Gave Your Love to Me Softly. Rivers is a tiny man. He wore a huge black stetson that almost covered up his head.

Then came the School of Rock kids who played Come Undone & Say It Ain't So. Pretty good. Those kids are so lucky!

Karl of Karl's corner came on stage for Intermission and went through a slideshow from the Pinkerton days and Weezer's early days. Geeked out. Loved it,

THen came Pinkerton. Played in the exact order as the album. There's something amazing about being surrounded by people who know all the words of every song from the 1996 Rolling Stone Mag SECOND Worst Album of the Year. (In 2002, Rolling Stone readers voted it as the 16th greatest album of all-time.)

I used my iPhone as a recording device for the Pinkerton part of the show. You can hear me singing.

Dinner

Menu:

Venison Tenderloin
Duck breast
Beef tenderloin
Salmon

Roasted vegetables
Potatoes

Seriously had the best meal. Heard at the dinner: "I can go to the electric chair from here." This wasn't store bought venison either - it was hunted, killed, and butchered by the same man. This was a farewell meal from a guy who is leaving chicago to be an executive chef at a resort out west. Wow, shit, great meal.

Huffington Post: AUDARSHIA TOWNSEND: Doughnut Vault Set to Open Soon

  I would be down w trying these tasty treats!! Yet another blank canvas to make some art. Bacon seems to have become such an indispensable ingredient with non-standard flavors. I had bacon brittle about a year ago and there is something about the salt & bacon taste that just brings out the sweetness. Ok River North, if your doughnut vault place is successful, that just means there will be one built closer to me.

Remote Control

First of all, remember the MTV show Remote Control http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Control_(game_show)?

Here is the line up of remote controls sitting on the coffee table/temporary TV stand:
1) Apple TV - the latest gadget added to the place. We basically skipped about 5 years of technology. This just puts us over the top.
2) The Logitech remote. The mother of all remotes. It is supposed to control everything like a Dictator of a small country.
3) Either the Samsung TV remote or the Samsung DVD player.
4) Remote to the stereo/surround sound
5) See #3
6) Just realized - this is the remote control is for the OLD DVD player. Don't even need it.
7) RCN remote control - the buttons on this POS don't really work. But you need it to delete things off your DVR after you watched the episode of 30 Rock.
8) Comcast remote - Before I moved in with the BF, I had Comcast cable. So I had a Comcast remote control that went with a cable box. Well, when I returned the box, I forgot to return the remote. But it's compatible with the RCN box so it was a keeper.
