i have no fear of heights. many things i've done because of that have caused great fright in others. example: i took my lil' sis to see Van Halen at Cobo, and we were hanging out above the backstage area...sitting above where Washington goes under the sidewalk with our legs dangling over what's about a 25' drop with no railings. the other people hanging out there were freaking out. what are you thinking of planting this year?

can't be that thrilled if you're posting here.

hahahahahahahahaha, i just checked mine, and he looked at it, too!

it's a John Mellencamp tour shirt from '95 or '96. the front says in huge letters, "DANCE NAKED WITH ME." the back says in equally huge letters, "WILL WORK FOR SEX." I've never worn it, btw. what do you think of riding a Jet Ski across the Atlantic?

no. all skeptics sound the same. what's the furthest distance you've walked or bicycled in a single day?

they're better than mimes. I guess. update:

I got down there about 6 PM on Monday evening last year; it was still raining. you and yours should've come down - everyone was dancing in the rain, just like the first 3 years. it was so much fun. :D I've gotta check the Pride Fest lineup - see if any of my musician friends are playing this year.

because I know you've always wondered: http://io9.com/#!5793265/how-big-an-explosion-could-you-realistically-survive

this is wild - a top guy in this field has a youtube channel where he shows off his work on all kinds of movies; his I Am Legend creatures beat the crap out of the CGI ones that were used. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/user/stevejohnsonfx

^ The Orb/Underground Resistance back-to-back sets the same weekend were even better.

somebody did: http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?showtopic=34956 I love that Richie Hawtin is pretty much curating a stage for a day, and I've never seen Goldie. Lots of other cool people as well...but that Fatboy Slim headlining slot reeks of cheez.

yeah, this whole plan just screams, "SUE US!!!"

about 12 years ago, the last band I was in was preparing for its 1st gig. I noticed the bandleader's gf painting her nails and, on a whim, asked her to paint mine. she literally vibrated with happiness while doing it. I never forgot her reaction, and I've since had a couple of gfs paint mine when I saw them painting theirs. each one of them attacked me as soon as my nails were dry.

tomorrow night, y'all! oh, and she's playing Bonnaroo in June, so if some smelly hippie friend wants to drag you down there, you'll have at least one performance to look forward to. make that two - Opeth are going to be there as well. :D

help me sleep...although it's actually the rain that does that, i suppose. what's your fave eatery at the moment?

definitely an upgrade.

yeah, i know it's the last day, but what the hell. still some good performers coming up on 3 channels. like Death From Above 1979! here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/coachella remember - all stage times are Pacific!
