the burnsville blur
<< Sep 25, 2005 @ 13:11 >>
Last night is a blur of the bar in Burnsville, where Ian's dad's band was playing. The Black Dawg bar to be specific. His band is called Jonah and the Whale, and as far as I could tell the pretty singer must be Jonah and the 300+ pound drummer (who looks exactly like Mario) is the whale. We actually saw Ian's dad play in a different band on Friday night. That was at Bunkers on Washington. Jon and Natalie came, the engaged couple consisting of one former roomate, neither of who I've seen in a long time. Jon asked Ian to be his best man, and Mike and I are ushing. That's actually how we ended up in Burnsville to see Ian's dad in this other band. Jon and Natalie were considering having Jonah and the Whale at their wedding reception and wanted to see them play.
Ian's girlfriend Melissa was celebrating a birfday, so Jonah and the Whale had her up on stage and gave her an inflatable guitar, which was the source of much future antics the rest of the night. I couldn't even tell you how many strange people I danced with, but there was this one really fit brunette with a big rock on her left ring finger who had been dancing with a short south asian gentleman firmly affixed to her waist. She got around on lot, and looked like she was having an awfully good time of it. The random girl in the crowd I found for the last song at Bunkers on Friday gave me her phone number........ but I'm not going to be calling.
Shit I'm sure there is a hell of a lot more worth mentioning... but it'll take awhile to come back into focus. In the meantime, you could browse the contents of my new bookcase. Perhaps you'd like to see which NES games or DVDs I have.
S. A. T-U-R. D-A-Y. Hey!

I was expecting a location-oriented database of your media, not a fucking picture. At the very least, I want mouseovers of the pictures linking back to IMDB or Amazon with the relevant info. Mine your data!
Also, your drunken antics sadden me.

I would assume that, were you not drunk at this very moment, you would have spelled it "teetotaler," as in teetotalism.
What about Ian MacKaye?

Yes, but you drink a lot of tea.

You're right. I should start drinking and picking up slutty girls at scummy bars. That will fulfill my life!
Kidding of course Zach, I respect your lifestyle choices.

Scummy bars aren't scummy, they are homey... and you call them "dive bars." The alternative is an expensive commercial corporate owned bar where the girls are still slutty but they are also gold digging air heads.
And I don't even know what you're talking about since I didn't bring a girl home Friday or Saturday. Though, I have to say, nailing slutty bar tramps could be more fulfilling than going to the bar and not nailing the slutty bar tramps.
