Just a quick post for now because I want to do my taxes. I'm glad that I paid enough this year to buy a soldier in Iraq at least one piece of substandard body armor.
I am not sure what Boing Boing is but here is a link to a thing they did on the vintage signs of Sac. (from slopdawgjr. and the chick list)
Is Jason D. back from 'nam? Or were you there for lunar new year? Cheung Hing was off the chain because of the New Year. People were crowd surfing the roast ducks to the back of the line.
Charles wants to plan a Halloween in July show and the theme is going to be "missing" because of the year that there was no Halloween show. It can be bands with missing members, bands that lost a member, it's pretty broad. He wants to know what people think about this. Two bands that immediately came to mind are Pink Floyd and the Manics. It would be cool if someone did the Manics. It seems that the theme this year for the real Halloween show is going to be "gay". All your favorite gay artists! I must give myself credit for thinking this theme up and I'm very excited about it. Especially since smiller is going to do Janis Ian!

I'd like to see somebody do a Chris Olsen cover band.
Oh yeah, and I have dibs on Fred Schneider, too.
I thought "missing" was the theme of the last one. Oh wait, no, it was "Charles missing".
miller
I'm going to cut Charles' arm off so he can do Def Lepopard.
I'm going to do a band where everybody in it represents one of the charachters from the hit TV series "Missing".
It was going to get said anyway, I was just getting it out of the way, folks.
While we're getting things out of the way, I'm doing Missing Persons.
miller
So who's gonna be The Greatful Dead?
I dunno, but I know a prime candidate for being Stephen Merritt for the Magnetic Fields for the actual Halloween Show.
Two band ideas:
Metallica
The Bananas
I would like to do U2 for the "Lost" Halloween show, focusing on the era when they lost it.
Actually, I'd just like to do U2.
-heckamax
Is that for gay or missing? isn't lars supposed to be gay?
charles told me yesterday that iommi from black sabbath is missing some of his fingertips so smitty should cut off the fingertips on his other arm, too.
curse you heckamax! you butted in before my comment. you're banned from heckasac! banned!
well, they lost a bass player in a car crash but one of their members also split to form megadeth. while i don't think lars is gay, his dad is fucking amazing. if you've never seen the documentary about all of them in therapy together one of the best scenes is when lars' aging danish father (dressed in all black) totally takes the piss out of their recent tracks and tells his son that metallica is basically slipping down the tubes.
What about gay AND missing? Queen would be made to order. I would also say Village People, but I saw the construction worker as recently as last week, bench pressing at the metro Y. If it weren't for his recent comback, Halford-led Priest would be hot.
Lars' dad does rule! I'm glad someone could call them on their shit in the documentary.
Jed
How about Fear, since Lee Ving smokes pole AND tours w/o any of the original members?
Or Steppenwolf since they've been screwed by John Kay, who gloats about ripping them off in every interview he gives?
Maybe even Brian Gregory's band(s) post-cramps stuff too. Or even...
The QUEERS, minus both equipment AND Joe Queer. (You could have him od'd at stage right, barely breathing, but certainly blue.)
The Doug Martin Chicken Choking Pachucos!
I will now shut up.
Ed
For the "Lost" Halloween show I'd like to do heckasac, focusing on the era when she lost it and banned heckamax.
-heckamax beating heckasac to the punch
I'm already doing heckasac. Heh heh.
miller
smiller, you're banned! banned for life! and i'll let you guess from where.
You can't ban me, I quit!

for missing i'd really be into kokomo era beach boys, sans brian wilson. i would be perfect as mike love, since i don't play any instruments and i look damn good in a white robe and big funny hat. in fact, if anyone else wants to do it but can't play, we can just get some of you talented musicians to play. someone (charles?) could even be john stamos on drums.
-cooter.
Smiller! Do the Manics! Someone, please do the Manics. That would be so rad. Early Manics so you can wear lots of eyeliner. -gw
Is the idea that you have to do the band post-missing person?
miller
Yes, didn't think of that. You can still do them though, sans heavy makeup.
I'm back from Vietnam. Thanks for asking. It was amazing. Tet was fucking nuts as well. I'm jetlagged so though I can't sleep I can't think straight either. Maybe I'll mention some interesting things at another time. I did bring home a kilo of coffee chon, which is cool. That's that weasel shit coffee (like the vietnamese version of civet coffee).
Jason D
oh, in case some people havent heard of that, the idea is that the weasels/foxes/civets/mongooses pick the best beans to eat but cant digest them entirely, so when they shit out the coffee beans people pick them out. the partial digestion improves the flavor. Nowadays demand is so high it's too hard to wait for every bean to be shit out by a weasel, so they've actually figured out what enzymes and acids inside the animals' stomachs influence the flavor. Now they simulate the digestive process, by soaking the beans in some sort of enzyme solution. You can still get the real deal, butI think it's like $300/lb. The kind I got is from Ban Me Thuot, the best coffee region in Vietnam. They put the beans through the weasel enzyme process, then roast them in butter! It's the shit, if you know what I mean. They call it 'ca phe cut chon', which means 'weasel shit coffee' Love it.
