There is some controversy about whether or not I really had to take down that Sacbee photo. I did it because he said he had already contacted blogger and that same day the template of my blog kept going haywire so I was paranoid the two things were connected and I took it down. I tried to email the jerk from my non-Davis account (which has my full name, which I didn't want the jerk to have) and it bounced back as a non-valid email address.
So turns out I'm not leaving town this weekend. I may go to that Fool's show tonight, but I didn't know until I saw it in the News and Review that that video game band (the Advantage) is playing. That means it will be packed and I really don't care about that band. But maybe I will go early-ish to see the Two Gallants.
Saturday there are competing shows. Looky Loos, Harvester, and the Feeling at the Fox and Goose. Supposedly starting at nine and it's three bucks. I'd be interested in knowing the line-up because I have something else I have to do that night. Also, the Megacools are playing at the Distillery with Teenage Electric Bedroom (fucking horrible name) and the Black Jetts (not much better). This show starts at regular late Distillery time and is six bucks.
Also on saturday, as homzee pointed out, is the last Catfight. Big deal you say? Well I agree except Lisa D is djing it and she is a great DJ. Homzee said she will go on after midnight. It's at the Golden Bear. Five dollar cover. A chance to bust out out your silver eyeliner and shredded clothing, or whatever it is the kids are wearing these days.

Don't forget that the PBR is in town this weekend at Arco and I think there is also a barber shop quartet festival at Memorial Auditorium.
-Connie
whoah, seriously? barbershop quartet festival? i'm gonna have to load up olsen in his FDR wheelchair and take him down there.
I think that you can use the photo if it's credited, which it was. You can have a frames based website that shows another entire site on your site and you can review other sites and link to other sites, I'm pretty sure you can use the photo. Some British tabloid ripped of a whole story from Retrocrush.com and totally got away with it, not because it was legal but because it'd have been more trouble than it could ever be worth to go after them or said several lawyer that the retrocrush WM talked to.
It's too bad the Bee didn't realize that you of this new media was actually giving props to they of that old media. Things like Craig's list and blogs are actually proving to be a huge threat to mainstream media and that kind of attitude isn't going to help them share the audience. Shooting themselves in the foot I'd say.
Oh well. Taking it down was probably a good idea anyway. Not worth the headache.
True.
Wow, Connie sounds like you're havin' an old timey, country-ass weekend! Maybe you should come over and we should bake some bread and read the Grapes of Wrath out loud to each other.
By the way, I'm totally back into the Grapes of Wrath. Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in!!
Somehow I knew that if somebody said "Barbershop" that my name would be mentioned.
Barbershop is more Teddy Roosevelt than Franklin Roosevelt, though.
Oh yeah, I was also going to post this the other day when you first brought up Grapes of Wrath, but I had to log off the computer I typing my reply on the very instant I was about to type in all the ridiculous letters at the bottom. It was the receptionist's desk, I was covering for her break, but she came back and well, I couldn't make her wait for that.
Anyway, though. John Ford's 1940 film "The Grapes of Wrath", though degutted in several spots to make it palatable for the Cinema going public of the mid century (almost) is fantastic. Sure, it's John Ford, so any drippiness that's in the book is larger than life in the movie. Be that as it may, for the filming style, it's just amazing that it was made in 1940 and is a John Ford drama, as there are so many parts of the film that look and feel more like a documentary made in the late 1960's.
That's pretty good for John Ford, since he absolutely butchered "The Quiet Man", which had the misfortune of starring John Wayne. All it had common with the book was that it's main charachter was a boxer, and that it took place in Ireland.
Once you're done reading, I'd see it.
Grapes of Wrath, that is, not the Quiet Man.
What?! Olson, those drugs you are taking must be messing with your head. The Quiet Man is a wonderful movie. Granted, I have never read the book, but I think the movie stands alone and, I'll say it, I think John Wayne is great in it and it has an excellent supporting cast. It's one of my favorite John Wayne movies.
As for the barbershop quartet thingy, I don't think I could ever stomach that much barbershop. I just keep hearing it advertised on the radio promising an "Exhilerating time."
-Connie, lover of John Wayne but not barbershop
This is my second try at this comment,
Connie you beat me to it, I was going to give my shout out to the PBR weekend.
You know what I think better than the hipster couple? Me and Heather in sensible shoes at a bull riding event. Now thats cool.
ohh Grandma shut it.
-#1 buckle Bunny
natalie.
C'mon Natalie...this couple is SOOOO ADORABLE!!! You can find more pictures of them by googling: 'total fucking knobs.'
- Patrone :)
p.s.
Sorry, once again, for spelling Olsen wrong. And I thoroughly enjoyed Cinderella Man, thanks for letting me watch it with you!
-Connie
I had just read the book when I watched the movie, that might have been it. But still, it was just another John Wayne excursion in mysogony. I mean, come on, that scene where he's dragging the girl across the grass by one arm and an old woman offers him a shillelagh to beat her with. And it's got this rollocking cute fake irish music in the background. Ah, the good old days, what a load of fun it is to brutalize women.
I don't remember what movie it was, but there was another John Wayne movie in which he is seen changing a babie's diaper and for some reason he desides to use a brick of wagon axel grease to lather the kid's butt with. There's this awkwardly long scene devoted to watching a newborn being smeared with a greasy, orange-brown cube of goo and John and co are laughing a good laugh over it. John Wayne had his great moments, but I think he's mostly over-rated and there's plenty of not-likeable things about him.
I tried that but your picture came up.
Zing!!!!
You can also find them under "too cool for school"
and "too serious for Sac"
what happened to fun? Just goofy non ironic kids getting wasted and having fun?
Hey! No problem. You can misspell my name, and disagree with me any day! And thanks for takin' care of me! Like I said, you're the greatest!
I know - fuck all those stuck up loft kids! Oh wait, never mind, that's what people used to say about us.

Show will likely go Lookyloos first, Harvester 2nd, Feeling 3rd. Shows there tend to start on the reasonable side (9pm) so you can still see it and make it to Megacools @midnight, etc.
-Jed
Thanks for that info, Jed! Personally, I was a bit torn. I've really come to dig the MegaCools, but well, I just don't see Coco Schwa??? that much.
Yeah, well, don't they still say that Miller?
Olsen-- why you gotta hate on TR? He'd probly bust barbershoppers in the head with a sabre.
Like there's not enough to do, Daisy Spot is on tap tonight at the blue Lamp too. I've never heard of (and now can't remember the names of) the bands that are opening, though.
A quick overview of Daisy Spot's show history:
1993 - 2004: 8 shows
2005 - 2006: 25 shows
miller
Damn, Connie, I forgot the zero hour had nearly arrived for PBR in town. That's enough to make one forget about the anniversary of the Wannsee Conference any ol' time. I hope you're planning to wear appropriate garb for the occasion.
fyi, for you and some of your respondents...linking to sacbee.com is perfectly okay. But lifting photos, graphics or stories and reproducing them on another site without permission is strictly prohibited under U.S. copyright law. Check it out on any legal site (U.S. copyright office, etc.)
You're just trying to cover your ass because you're ashamed of your culpability in the nipslip brouhaha

tonight!
Cinderella Man was such a "hey, check out this, I'm making a tear jerker" movie. At least it was sent directly to the trash can by The Underdog pounding a phone into a hotel clerk. I wish it was laughable bad like "Hustle and Flow". I didn't know the 7th Heaven writers were doing MTV gangster movies. At least hookers really do have a heart of gold.
Next time you mention the Bee, just say, "speaking of douches, the Sac Douche says". Sorry for any douches that were offended by comparing you to the Bee. They're not the Massengil of Mass Media at least, I'd put that to the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Apologies, all, but either blogger or the codiene caused some errors and I had duplicated posts. Or rather, posts that each paraphrased each other, but nevertheless, all said the same thing, and then I accidentally deleted all of them.
Okay, fourth time is the charm:
"OMF you got me all wrong. I wasn't hating I was DATING. I just meant that barbershop was more turn of the century, and was already pretty much old-skool (even if not entirely dead) by the time FDR took office in 1933."
the dreaded double post that led to the dreaded triple deleted post! a first!
I'm no expert, but it seems that posting a properly cited newspaper photo on your blog counts as fair use. Here's the relevant bit of law from: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107
That Casey dude's a prick.
§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
