the movie night went well last night. I now think that Meatballs might be the funniest movie of all time all because of one guy named Mr. Bill Murray. Meatballs really wipes its ass with Wet Hot American Summer when you watch them side by side. Next movie night I want to do Half Baked and Friday. And I'm going to start it at 7.
Tonight is the open mic comedy at Bows. Officiall voted best comedy night in the SNR summer issue.
I'm going to be djing at Mike C.s night on july 24th, all dirty south. I'm listening to a lot of it. Ya know a lot of the Cash Money stuff doesn't hold up that well (and of course that goes double for No Limit). I just discovered that Master P has kids named: Lil Romeo, Cymphonique, Veno, Young V, Tytyana, Italy, Hercy, Inty and Mercy.

Meatballs is hilarious! I wasn't going to stay for the whole thing, but I got sucked in.
It looks like the first time Harold Ramis and Bill Murray worked together. The bromance begins!

Wait, where was Harold Ramis? Did he write it? Besides smiller, Bill Murray is the finest man that has ever lived. I wish I could get smiller to dress a little more like him...short shorts and hawaiaan shirts would look good on him. But not short shorts, a blazer, a butterfly pin, and cowboy boots.
oh yeah, I forgot that when I came out of bows someone had stolen my back tire! Right from the front! AND they threw a cigarette butt in my bike basket. sad emoticon
after reading that ransacked stuff about the townhouse I almost feel sorry for the owner (almost). the facebook comments were just stupid and unfair. they reminded me of a yelp talk thread (which is a big insult). they even accused her of using "hearsay" wrong and she used it right. all the commenters thought there were being funny and I disagree
I mean, besides the sign let't not pretend that the TownHouse was some hallowed ground. There were fun nights there but it was a complete dump. There could be fun nights there again in a slightly nicer atmosphere with maybe some better drinks. It wouldn't hurt. Although is she going to do a bunch of douchy stuff to it?
Seems like things have just migrated to the press club, which has a better dance floor

and now there's a boycott thing online with an old drawing of the townhouse when it actually looked cool instead of disgusting on the outside! that's just not fair. the sign was the only cool thing period.
Ramis wrote it. I saw his name in the beginning credits and kept trying to figure out if he was in it. I thought he might have been Spaz for a moment.
Why don't we have any friends named Spaz? Oh god, that's my new mickname now, isn't it?
The townhouse was a fucking stinky rape pit. I am not sorry to see it go. The sign was great looking. The new owner got piled on for sure but she is also reacting so poorly and insulting many people. Plus a Harley hanging from the ceiling is so suburban I can't stand it. I won't go.

Thank you, Mr. Ninja. I refuse to go to the Tower since the bathroom stink is gone, even though they re-purposed some of the stink for the newer handicapped bathroom.
Last night was way fun. Meatballs was so funny. I think watching with a good bunch of people helps. Me, AC and MS were talking about the "It Just Doesn't Matter!" is somehow responsible for birthing the Sacramento chanting tradition and how it really embodies the Sac Spirit.

I didn't read that FB stuff, but after my experience of booking a show there where I had to pay $40 to touring bands despite the room having had about 100 people in it, I probably woulda just piled on more bile for him.
There was almost $600 in the box according to my volunteer who was working the door. The dude came and took over half of it and disappeared. One of security guards said "Give it up. You're not getting that back." Eavesdroppers butt in to tell me it was going up his nose.
Those bands haven't been back to Sac since. I'm not even friends with one of those bands anymore, and it's because of that. It's a huge part of why I quit booking shows.
You're exactly proving my point of why the old ToHo was not much to mourn for. It has a new owner, a lady. She might crap it up but my point is it couldn't get much more crappy and as long as there are still shows and dance nights elsewhere all this town lost is a cool sign on a hideous building
The amount of flack the new owner of the old townhouse is getting is insane. Seems like she would have to pay more to keep the sign, why would she do that? If anyone thinks she should pony up the dough for her. She still has the sign in her garage if it's too painful to loose the sign above a bar, someone can buy it and put it on their roof.
This is nothing compared to the tragedy of the Herfert House, now there was a loss!!!
The harley on the ceiling is clearly a bad idea, though as far as I can tell, this isn't the owners plan?
I miss the Herfert House every time I have to deal with parking permit issues. I found a menu from there while going through a box of junk.
thank god ec stole the wagon train lamp so it will remain in the family forever
and johnny has the other one! what a heist!
I also kinda feel sorry for the new owner of the Town House building - she seems to have no idea why people are upset about her destroying an actual MCM landmark (the ToHo sign) when she's giving them a fake fifties-theme bar to replace it. With Robby the Robot, even!
I'm also scratching my head at all the folks who are like, "well it's gone, and it wasn't the Alhambra, so fuck it."
The Town House sign wasn't as cool as the Alhambra, but frankly, nothing was, but that sign was probably the coolest mid-century ANYTHING left in Midtown. And, ironically, the Town House sign is actually a lot older than the Alhambra was when it was destroyed.
