oooh… the opportunity to start randomonia off right, AND with a godwin.
/awesome
i got to give my friend a breathalyzer test at foxfield yesterday. he passed because the test was broken, but then he fell on his face. so, take that.
Parlie… was it the floppy purple breathalyzer again? I have warned you that will get you in big trouble one day.
I skipped Foxfield, worked, then got drunk in a warehouse full of potato chips and rock music. I think I beat parlie.
i camped out with feist.
@4: Hope it was a proper face melting send off for you kids.
wait, not the last show? yay!
7: Indeed!
@2. What was in the breathalyzer?
@4. It sounds like your lousy day at work paid off big time.
@5. Are you one of the sexy ladies “challenging” me to grope your girlfriend’s butt at the Feist concert?
@9 sexy lady yes, challenging you to grab my gf butt, no. Did you? Five, are you a boy or girl?
i can’t open the free for all 3.0 thread because it crashes my browser, but in any event, @415: no.
Say what?
So…..your what, a 14 year old princess with that type of post? Getting weaker in these woods.
This is not how you start a free for all. Do I have to do everything around here?

@11 um, yes parlie.
@10. I’m a *dude* sexy lady.
I could never understand the lyrics in death metal. Some images are Not Work Safe.
Caroline, am I being a crotchedy oldster (okay, more of one than I usually am) to want to complain about the loud idiots who would not STFU during Feist? I’m not talking about people having the odd, normal commet to the person next to them, but the people who insisted on having full, loud conversations, sometimes yelling over 4 or 5 people in their row. The Feist-er herself nicely asked them to be more quiet, so maybe I’m not out of line. The concert was great, but I was ready to kill me some post-Foxfield asshats and prom kids.
@18 That!!!
and thatgrrl, I thought the opener Hayden was really painful.
@20agreed
mornin’ lo!
morning C - ugg monday
are you telling me I have to wear my uggs today?
@20 I skipped the opener. Woo hoo! At last! Being late pays off!
I also loved the charming example set by Mr. Coran Capshaw, himself. Despite the fact that the performer herself was drawing attention to the Chatty Cathy’s screwing up her softer material, the man talked and talked and talked and talked. Thanks for the concert, dude. How about listening to it, if you’re going to bother showing up.
I just found out that the man who was hit by a van the other night was a friend of mine. Such great news to come back to after spending a couple days in the country.
Oh Street! I am so sorry to hear that. News like that is never good to get…in town or out.
That’s terrible Street. I’m really sorry.
Ditto @18- Rudest. Audience. EVER! The Charlotttesville audience at Feist should be mortally ashamed. Despite pointed onstage pleas from both of Saturday night’s performers the audience simply would not quiet down. As ThatGrrl pointed out this wasn’t a case of people whispering to their neighbours, or a handful of rude people making everyone look bad. When I looked around at one point damn near every single person for 20 feet around me was engaged in full-on high amplitude conversations. People were acting like they were at a noisy club rather than a concert, and depending on where you were seated the audience chatter pretty much overwhelmed the music.
It wasn’t only the audience, either. There was a lazy, fat-ass usher stationed near where we were standing. His job was apparently to keep the side aisle open and to prevent people from sitting on the railing. But he had his OWN lard-ass parked on the railing, and instead of approaching people during the show and quietly asking them to clear the aisle he would simply BELLOW at the offenders from where he was lounging. Unbelievable!
I’ve been to a lot of concerts in a lot of different places and this was one of the most discourteous audiences I’ve ever experienced. I’m curious, did the performers mention it in any interviews after the show?
@29 I’m glad I wasn’t the only one royally pissed off and frankly embarrassed for the impression the C-ville crowd gave to the performers. I can only hope that part of the problem was the rain and that conversations that normally would have been occuring in back by the beer trucks had moved into the pavilion. Which certainly doesn’t make it right. The acoustics of that place make it so that sound travels. Not just from the the stage up front to the back, but (shocking, I know!) from back to front. Having a loud conversation in back (or having about 150 of them, all at once) travels forward. But if that becomes the normal crowd for the pavilion, I’m out. No sense in spending money on a ticket when you could have purchased a couple of CD’s and at least heard them as the artist intended.
My ill-formed and hasty opinion?
Feist = great, so talking = bad
Opening act = festival of introspective canadian suck, so talking = meh.
Well, not really. We should be polite to all performers, regardless.
The roadies unfolding snowflakes were nice.
i liked the roadie girl unfolding snowflakes and teapots too b’yo, my two year old thought that was the best part.
Apparently the crowd at the Colin Meloy concert at Satellite was no different (I wasn’t there but a friend told me). Maybe people forgot how to go to concerts anymore.
@33 I actually had a conversation about that fact. That, since most of the offenders were relatively young, TV has probably screwed up their concept of when it’s okay to talk and how loudly. They’ve grown up competing with the noise on the television. And while I’m loathe to suggest higher ticket prices, the fact that this was a relatively cheap concert for the pavilion (a $25 ticket) maybe it didn’t feel like such a waste to them to talk through the entire damn thing. I do know that the more expensive the ticket, generally speaking, the older and more appreciative (i.e. attentive and quiet) the crowd.
@ 33 By contrast, the audience at “Sissy Spacek - What I had for Breakfast: A Retrospective” show at the Paramount was rapt in silent attention from the placement of the very first napkin ring.
@ 34 Sure. Blame TV. I mean, its obviously evil.
Let’s ban 20-somethings! (Except really cute girls.) Actually, the talkers I saw ranged in age through their early 40s, although I agree that generally the older they were the less noisy.
I don’t really have anything new to add except, yes! It was so annoying. Especially considering how lovely the music was (and not super loud) the full-on conversations throughout the concert were really obnoxious. Poor Feist, she put on such a good show and most of the audience was too buy yammering away to appreciate it. And $25 is fairly cheap for the Pavilion, but I still can’t imagine paying that money and then paying no attention to the music. Ugh.
Also, ThatGrrl - I momentarily saw you walking down one of the side aisles, but it was during the show and I didn’t want to yell at you and be obnoxious. So “hi!”
@35 I lub my TV. But it really can be evil. I wholeheartedly believe it’s to blame for the way people act in movie theaters.
@36 Agreed. Not all offenders were youngsters.
Aww. Hi, Trillian! Sorry I missed you.
@ 38 And I blame the internet for the chronic misspelling of “love” and “good”. Well, the internet and Hello Kitty.
Flame on!
@40 B’Yo, you’re cute when you’re all persnickity. But, in this case, you’re also right.
/use of the word “irregardless” still grounds for shooting?
@33:
satellite ballroom. KoB and Tea Leaf Green. i was third row for about 2 songs. the two girls in front of me talked through both songs. right in front of the guitarist, who is what, three feet from them?
and whilst talking holding one of those little purse bag things that looks like it might be cutting off the circulation to her arm. at least one of the two swayed now and then (second row by choice at a rock concert sure looks different than it used to. way back last year, that is). it was a weird crowd for that kind of music as per usual c-ville style. i blamed it on the internet.
/what kind of snowflakes?
maybe we just don’t have enough death/thrash/industrial metal around here - now that would be loud enough to keep people quiet.
@43:
maybe we could just act like all concerts are death/thrash/indusrial metal and mosh those who talk.
um, have ya’ll seen this?
/whoa.
@45: Yeah I had heard about that. Absolutely disgusting. The guys wife lived in the house while all of that was going on, and a couple of the kids had never even seen daylight. Some people really make me sick.
@42 You would call KOB a rock show? I might have been more interested in those girls conversations than I have ever been with that band.
@43+44 I think you’re on to something. Call me, we’ll talk.
I have to throw in my own two cents concerning concert goers at recent music events here in Charlottesville. They have been beyond rude. I’ve actually had to get out of my seat at a couple shows lately at Gravity and tell people that there are lots of folks who would rather hear the music than their conversation….so shut the hell up…(only slightly more polite). This has happened at recent Satellite shows I’ve attended and now it’s happening at the Pavilion too! People here’s the deal…maybe you’ve got $25 -$40 to blow on a concert you’re not even gonna listen to, but I don’t. So if you’re gonna pay to hear a show then why don’t you listen and save the talking for later. I thank you and I”m sure others thank you too. Here’s Jeff Tweedy’s take on things which I enjoy very much.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew3AOlbJXos
Feh, just pass out little headphone packs like they do on museum tours, and then wire it through a localized fm frequency.
It will be like “silent disco”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxr-FSRhEjc
@47: I was calling tea leaf green more of a rock show…(i know, people call them a jam band- but they are growing into a rock band with songs that have solos and a couple songs without words. that rock).
/wasn’t in third row for KoB.
@48 Were they in the back room at Gravity? People seem to think, just because they are in the back room, there is some sort of invisible sound barrier between them and the listening room. Although, I’ve also had to do the glare of death at some people actually in the listening room, too. But the people in the back room are almost always horrendous. In a venue of that size, talkers can ruin it for everyone.
I sort of wish that more performers would call people out on talking. And that venue operators would take a more active role in policing the audience. Although, clearly the former wasn’t working on Saturday. At one point, Leslie even threatened to walk, since people seemed to prefer to chat. In a nice way, but she did. Didn’t quiet things for more than about 2 minutes.
Awesome! Instead of concerts we can have employees, patrons and performers verbally jousting over manners. What if the talkers had a mild form of Tourette’s? Why do you hate the handicapped?
/persnickety devil’s advocate.
Miss Mannerspalooza!
Wasn’t really thinking of venue operators getting into personal confrontations so much as stepping on stage and asking for a little respect for the artist, when the artist clearly needs some backup on that point. Although, I’m not at all against their getting personal where someone is very obviously ruining it for everyone.
I guess you’d have to be there to understand the level of the problem. These were long, loud conversations, up to and including yelling to people 4 or 5 seats away. Not just one or two of them, here or there. They were occuring just about everywhere you looked. With loud conversations competing not only with the music but with each other. It really was worse than just regular conversation.
Obviously, the artist just needs to buy an amp that goes to eleven.
/agrees with you, but just likes arguing.
@55 Hee, hee. I love that movie. I think it’s nearly time for my annual viewing.
/more conversations than drummers in Spinal Tap
you’re cute when you argue.
starrhill used to have the same chatty in the back problem. i am usually so into the music, i don’t even know what’s going on around me. i try to scoot up front.
does “nappy-headed hos” have a hyphen or not? and what is UP with capitalizing “Black”?
“nappy-headed” in that construction is an adjectival phrase, so yes, a hyphen is required.
that’s what i think. however, with the phrase “african-american athletes,” “african-american” is obviously an adjective, yet lots of people don’t hyphenate it.
60: ooh, that’s an identity politics can of worms. Along with “Asian-American/Asian American” and a number of other descriptors, to hyphenate or not to hyphenate is a much debated question. I read a book on it, whose author and name currently escape me.
i don’t understand what argument there could be for not hyphenating any of them, as they ARE adjectives. it would be like not hyphenating “well-done steak” or “friendly-looking man.” …oh, i see–non-hyphenators are saying african describes american, rather than both of them describing athlete, like “brightly lit room”? that’s dumb.
http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphens.asp
62: If I understand correctly, there’s a question about being an American who is African (non-hypenators) versus giving them equal weight (hyphenators), but the interesting thing about the debate is that there’s no reliable predictor about how people will deploy these terms.
Say, someone who’s very proud of his or her African heritage might choose the non-hyphenated version, but that same person could resent the implication that he or she is not “American™” but rather some sub-set of American, and choose to hyphenate after all. Or that very same person might simply identify as “Black” and resent the AA term, hyphen or not.
Hence: can of worms.
(Also, I learned that “-ly” adverbs+adjective constructions never carry a hyphen, but that is according to the Chicago Manual of Style, and these things vary by style. AP style is often quite different from Chicago, for instance.)
Stop!
@62, 63 That’s actually rather fascinating. Stanley, if you can remember the name of the hyphenate book, I’m interested in reading it.
/word geek
oooh, better one.
whoa. that was like a boring explosion. where boring is a noun and not an adjective… an explosion of boring, if you will.
whoops, i just killed myself.
@64 That is AWESOME. I could actually find uses for that graphic at work. And probably be disciplined for using it, but it would still be fun. Thanks, B’Yo!
@63 para. 1: i agree that if you’re an american who’s an african (as in “i am an african american”) it wouldn’t be hyphenated, but that’s because african is the adjective and american is the noun. if it was “i am an african-american athlete,” african and american are both adjectives, both describing athlete.
i personally would identify as black, no capitalization. or “chocolate face, no makeup.”
/just demonstrating the crap that i’m dealing with today. should this be on the “rainy monday” thread then?

That’s just embarassing. Especially since that was the only decent act the Pavilion booked for the entire summer.
someone told me tonight(and it’s just a dude who cooks in a kitchen) that it may be that acts au non-wheel-chair type might listen to are TOO LOUD- what with city ordinances and all. he claims ratdog(still a bit more young than gladys knight) will never play here again due to deciblity accountablilty.
meh?
i also find that many bands i would like to see who used to play an outdoor venue circuit are able to play an amazing amount of festivals. check out any genre band- there is one-three festivals every weekend from june-late august. that’ll keep ‘em busy.
/the pavillion is booked every friday, anyway…
All the Pavilion needs is one of these, sans harness, for the people that wont shut up. That’ll learn them.

You know I needed a pick me up this morning and went to find some sort of funny YouTube video or joke, or graphic or SOMETHING…and I couldn’t find a damn thing. Street the drunk guy thing was pretty funny, but just wasn’t enough to shake off the Monday residue.

I’d like a moment of silence to commemorate Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD, who died today.
@113: i think he discovered it accidentally by eating bread mold. it was the CIA who really gave it legs. those guys can monetize anything, and then probably employ it in warfare! they are great.
heh. I just learned that the first time he intentionally took a large dose of it was on April 19th, 1943. Wasn’t the cVillain “born” on April 19th? It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya! A conspiracy!

In other, other news:
A 40-year-old sex tape featuring guitar great Jimi Hendrix has been unearthed by a rock memorabilia collector. The unnamed collector has passed the saucy footage, which features a head-banded Hendrix frolicking with two brunettes, to Vivid Entertainment, who are set to release the film on DVD.
/fro-licking? ew.
@ 113 i think he discovered it accidentally by eating bread mold
Actually, he was experimenting with ergotomine, which is synthesized from ergot, which is a mold that grows on rye bread. From ergotomine, he synthesized LSD-25, which, unbeknownst to him, can be ingested transdermally. Since the dosage of LSD is measured in MICROgrams, and he used no protection whilst handling it, he got what even the most seasoned deadhead would consider a heroic dose. His ride home from the lab on his bicycle, immortalized in his book “the Doors of Perception” (from whence the rock band, The Doors derive their name), is legendary. It wasn’t until the psych department at Harvard, specifically a one Dr. Timothy Leary, started to explore its therapeutic uses, that the CIA became involved. Not that I know anything about any of this.
Interesting trivia: The theory has been recently posited that the French Revolution was fueled in part by the consumption of moldy rye bread by the peasants. Let them eat cake? Indeed.
Happy Birthday Albert. You changed my life.
The Doors of Perception was written by Aldous Huxley.

free-for-all rant:
went to The Box for lunch today for the first time in a while and had one of the WORST service experiences I’ve ever had in any city, which made it all the worse to be in C’ville. Does anyone know what the deal is with the young skater boy that was working the counter today? He seems to be completely devoid of understanding what “food service” is. We had to ask for a menu, ask if we could order (10 minutes later), ask for our fountain drink cups and ask if we could pay. All of this piled on top of the fact that my lunch companion and I were both disappointed in our selections (our own fault) and knew there was no point in even discussing it with this dis-interested dude, unlike the owners who have always been VERY eager to discuss anything relating to the establishment when I’ve been there.
I was pretty disappointed and probably won’t be back there if I see him working (or at least will get take out instead). Anyone else had an experience with this guy?

that’s where i put together the spoiled bread, the hallucinigins, the spoiled wheat=ergot and jesus feeding hundreds of folks with just two loaves of bread and five fishes. then he walked on water. so they said.
/welcome to the inside of my head.
//who let dr. suess in here, anyhow?
DJJesus rocked the cafeteria last night! I was saved from the doldrums for one splendid night!
/got my crucial fix
So, the city (that I previously considered to be one of the friendliest I’ve ever had the pleasure to live in) has given the Hope Community Center 30 days to shut its doors to the homeless. Yes, I occasionally stay there so I can take showers, but this is not about me. What pisses me off is that there are ELDERLY people whose insurance has run out, that have been using the center as a safe place to rest. There is a FAMILY staying there, and NO CHILD should be on the streets, but the city has shown its true colors. Where the FUCK are they going to go?!? The city says the center would have to install a sprinkler system to remain open, which would cost the center around 200k. But I know for a fact that residents living nearby have complained, because they are worried about PROPERTY VALUES. In a crack-infested neighborhood, no less. As if a few people who only stay there at night could give that area a bad name. WHAT THE FUCK? Are we so ready to send the ELDERLY and CHILDREN to live on the streets, so we can save a few bucks?!? What happened to love thy neighbor? What the fuck happened to sanity? Fuck, I am so pissed. I can fend for myself, but ask one the octogenarians what they are going to do! I was briefly tempted to add the center to the charity list, but I sincerely doubt we could come up with 200k. If world peace begins at home, then we are truly fucked. City Council, if you are reading this, know that I am giving you the finger, because you suck.
/end rant (for now)
Rant: Part 2
You know, even if we somehow came up with the funds to install the sprinkler system, I just know the city would find more issues with the center. On April 18th, the city gave the Hope Center 30 days to make an appeal regarding the initial zoning issues, but just 12 days later they tell the center to shut their doors. What happened? Where is all this pressure coming from? Who is so fucking desperate to have the ELDERLY & CHILDREN living on the streets? I bet, in the end, it’s all about the Almighty Dollar, nothing more. Jerks.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone been economically stimulated by GW’s package yet? I can’t wait to fight terris by buying a new outfit for my Bea Arthur doll…
apparently you had to have income to be economically stimulated, so i was not.
I should be any day now. I’m going to spend it on Japanese stuff…or beer. I haven’t decided yet.
I’m going to spend it on Japanese stuff…
Sushi? Katanas? Type R stickers? Ultraman figurines? Obis? Tentacle porn?
Tentacle porn. I thought that was obvious.
b’yo, maybe you should hang on to your stimulated package, there’s a sale coming on some quality dinosaur porn - I just got the JC Penney’s flyer in the mail.
I just stumbled across this and it made me chuckle. Scroll down to the video clip.
@ 210 I have been hanging on to my stimulated package for years, got it down to a science in fact.
Was linked to this article through the Muse.
“In the film, an enormous dog’s face devours a Cavalier figure and then rains multi-colored shit down from the sky…”
/is this art?
I’ll put my stool on a stool for you.
No thanks. Just save a little Gatorade for me.
And now for something completely different:
Daimoku.
I dare you (yeah, you!*points*) to listen to the entire chant, in multiple windows.
knock knock
Who is there?
Indeed! Multiple windows.
/not telling who’s there
just trying to get your attention flooze. I just yelled at them over on muse for taking a photo of poop down. Whas up witchu tonight? How’s my beach invitie coming?
Oh…. I thought you had a really crappy knock knock joke. Thank Buddha for that.
I think we may have to take BYo up on his babysitters offer…. last time I dragged a flailing child out of the water they splashed water in my drink, diluting it considerably. Paying Yo-lettes would be money well spent.
I hate knock knock jokes too. I’m hungry. Thank god this is a free for all, or gobbler would be bitchin’
I just went over and checked out the poop story… I thought you were very restrained.
I guess Kyle is just trying to maintain some decorum over there.. you know it starts with a photo of a turd and before you know it people are saying fuck.
I like that we are the frat house and they are the posh house on the hill. Every one has their place.
Gobbler can eat me
i think we are the posh frat house on the hill
C….Do you have any good charity clothes shops in Lynchburg ie Goodwill, Salvation Army etc. We need to start searching for Amish dresses for the sect party. I am yearning for a particularly high necked little number in shite brown with a daring mustard trim at the wrist to match my mustard headscarf.
You?
well, let’s see, I live in the land of Jerry Fallwell, Christians everywhere, so lot’sa amish type stuff floating around on every corner goodwill. We have plenty to choose from, i’m going to go with a nice teal, and a 10 inch comb back.
Pay the Yo-lettes to commandeer the offspring and we can all get hammered on the beach! yay! Happy summer fun time!
And one can find awesome mennonite gear in stuarts draft. Just sayin.
we need lotsa pantyhose and white tennis shoes, the other accessory is a calculator black plastic watch, do you have one I can borrow?
hey can you guys try to stay on topic? jesus.
oh. sorry about that, my dogs got out.
parlie can I borrow your calculator compass watch?
Did anyone else hear what sounded like gunshots in the blemont/friendship court area about ten minutes ago?
231: what;s a topic? can i get you a towel? they are over here. help yourself to some chex-mix and the natty lights are in the cooler on the porch-don’t wake up the dog…
Oh, the lives of the modern-day vagabond. The very last photo is NOT work safe. But the one that scares me the most is the kid eating a banana with tabasco sauce.
/never squatted nor hopped a train
Street… some stunning photos there… very moving. Last pic looks like the poor poss was delivered by Dominos… expect BYo to dress that one up a bit.
You should send the MD 20/20 photo over to cbob for his bum wine post.
Floozy, I had the same thought about the MD 20/20 pic.
a lot of the train kids are here in Ltown, are there still a lot in Charlottesville or have they all come here?
I’ve only seen 3 or 4 here, caroline.
me thinks dogs was referring to the late night orgys. i’m thinking of starting to totally rock the prairie frills myself, plus the whole making decisions for myself thing is getting old.
most of them are pretty cool kids, just a bit dirty….well pretty dirty. Those are great photos, I wonder if there are some photos of the local train kids, I would be interested in showing them at the coffeeshop, from a local photographer.
good luck to those doing the Wintergreen Ascent time trial tomorrow. This race is particularly bad ass, my hats off to all. This pleasant 6.75 mile climb gains 2,626ft up to the summit of Wintergreen, at an average grade of 7.5% with maximum grades of 20%.
Lolo…. that is a great theme for a party- ‘Little House on the Prairie’…. the best ploy would be to come as Mary the blind blonde one, and then as you stagger around completely shitfaced drunk, people would assume you were just doing an impression of poor old M trying to find the door to the Outhouse. Inspired.
When I used to travel the country working Renaissance festivals (I was a bartender and a juggler but not simultaneously) we would throw the occasional M*A*S*H-themed golf party. Everyone would dress up as their favorite character (there were SO many HotLips & Klingers, but I usually just wore a bathrobe, fishing hat & boots), drink martinis, and play golf, whether it was in the woods, desert, or on the site itself.
testing.
is anyone else freaked out by baconfat’s comment?
YES
Nope… it’s tough to type when you are a streak of lard covered pig.. trotters skid all over the show. I think it was profound and wondrous. Pos
