so I'm reading this morning's Free Press' travel section, and lo and behold, there's an article that mentions a LEGO convention in Chicago. It's called Brickworld and it's there in June.

omgomgomgomg i want one of these so bad...and at $599 list, I might get one!

that song's a masterpiece.

industrial/electronic

the Majestic's website lists the Rasputina show opener as a "Mr. Voltaire." hmmm...

1) agree 100%. 2) it's usually spelled "kandi."

Sam Raimi to direct Wizard of Oz prequel in Pontiac? Maybe...and Johnny Depp is in negotiations to play the lead. Centerpoint is on Opdyke just off of Square Lake Rd. if you're curious. http://www.freep.com/article/20110126/NEWS06/101260426/1322/authorities-brutalized-pit-bulls-found-in-lansing,Z=728x90 I know the link says something nonrelated, but the freep site gets link titles wrong fairly regularly.

I don't know if that Ke$ha song can be topped...I'll have to think about this.

a more acrobatic take on Swan Lake:

I remember hearing a bit about this back around Halloween, but I never followed it up. I'd like to say it's unbelievable, but actually, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

special orders don't upset us! http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/planetMakeover/index.html

^ did this happen?

they nailed the juggalo.

I've run into this debate on a couple of other forums lately, so I thought I'd bring it here. what say you?

do any SW natives remember a Hungarian restaurant right on Vernor? it was in a building that looked like iy used to be an auto repair shop. it was family-run, and the food was awesome. only 6 or 7 entrees on the small menu, but it must've all been incredible, 'cause the place was packed. I only went there once - mid '90s - and I don't even recall its name.

I thought this was going to be about basketball. D:
