| food quest/ vanished one diner/ are you guys rockstars/ np day 1 |
[21 Aug 2008|05:20am] |
Forgotten earlier when we walked in mcds this scary dude looks right at mdr and is like "you two rock stars" scurries away to bathroom.
So we have been wandering aimlessly for over an hour. Diner was right at belmont and clarke but we went down every direction no food. Poor mdr is dying so we find a mexican place finally. No one apparently in this city knows where to find food at midnight. Selective. Facinating really.
Went to np and squeals were heard. Saw fireworks and walked on beach and went on ferris wheel. Took many pics.
We head out early tomorrow morning to wi.
More to come

My brother's turning 18 on Saturday and I want to take him to a strip club. Preferably in Virginia Beach, but I'm willing to travel. Any suggestions? :D
since it seems most stripclubs are 21+, any suggestions for a fun place that a bunch of 18+ people can go?

You had to be there to understand how hard it was to get to hotel. I mean really. W the construction in the loop and the randolph detour paired w the gps telling us to turn too late paired w make a u turn now, we drove in a huge circle off mich ave for about a half hour until I was so frustrated I couuld cry. Now finally on the 24th floor of hotel 71 w an amazing view of the water and traffic and all the other shit. See pics soon.
Will be more amazing at night.
Mdr and I somehow flawless executed the airport and I had no problem finding her. We were that good.
Hotel room is like the size of my first apartment I swear. Coffee maker doesn't work for piss so after two college grads fucked w it and finally de ruin engineering somehow constructed a pen that hold the coffee lid thing holding the filter up enough that it drains, and didn't even melt the pen mind you, breaking of the phone in the bathroom (don't look at me heh), and some photgraphed smoking out the window and staring at the window washers on trump tower right across the street, mdr hit the sheets and has been passed out for some time. I tried, but my mom calling and blathering ruined that.
Myka and buf are at the venue for either grand rapids or pontiac now. Whatever show is today.
Im sleepy but too buzzed and excited to lay still. Don't mind me.
More later.
Random, the movie guide in the hotek has a program in focus: vampires in america, a primetime network exclusive.
Don't know about you but have vampires been a problem for people that im not aware of? Don't see to have that problem by me. Can't tell ya last time I was minding my own and assulted by a vampire. God damn. Homeless people yes, illegals yes, bible waving christians yes, blood thristy zombies yes, vampires no way.

| cat ass/check points/construction day 0 |
[20 Aug 2008|11:38am] |
I wouldn't be up right now if roomies cat wasn't wagging its ass in my face and thumping me w its tail. Why it insists on laying w me I never know. Although allergic, I admitt as an animal lover I have a soft spot for the thing as it purrs and looks up at me w its liquid eyes and for some reason licks the bedsheets. Too tired to care.
No word if alicia is in mich atm.
Myka is texting from the helm of driving through madison. Construction is blah. Lt dan rides again! (See bamboozle trip). She feels weird not driving the school bus.
Mdr has reported in from the airport. You may know her folks walking through the tulsa airport as the only girl at 6 am that looks like a fucking model...at 6 am, which again in like astounding to my fucking brain. Last time I flew somewhere I even remember my outfit because of its lamness (camoflauge pants (was I hiding?) black t shirt, sweater I love from the mat box, and my fav heels) but I didn't look like I just got off the run way. My hair was all jacked up, last nights dream still crusted in my eyes, smelling like hours in fucking coach sitting by fat housewives drooling on people magazine.
I place my wagers now that this one is gunna look like we could hit the clubs without any touch up after 7 hours of connecting flights.
That's a strange miracle my friend. God I hate you pretty bitches. Before I can leave the hotel ill need plastic surgery lol.
Lame again, I've had todays outfit picked out for a week just when I was deciding what goes in the luggage and what laundry to make it through the week. You'll see from pics, its the skirt I wore to the super fan show (mini as all hell but its in the upper 90s in the chi today) (also makes me regret all the walking I do every day cas my legs look fat and mannish. Damn muscle) and a shirt I wore on the b fest trip if you check the film.
Again its funny im putting on decent clothes now cas the second we pull into the hotel its gunna be nap time for a few hours anyway.
Hopefully less sleep than the manson after party night. Which was always cool as hell when we were hanging out but the highlight reel includes I slept all day at hotel, mdr shows up and I slide over in the bed and we sleep til like 7 pm, eat something, go to manson deal til like 2 am, go back to hotel watch a little elimidate and sleep til like 10 am. I think that was the most sleep I had that entire week. Lmao.
Speaking of, im gunna hit the sheets for a bit longer if I can.
Of course I always get trip nerves. I may voice post on the way to the airport.
Watch for updates from the luxary hotel in a few hours where we will most likely sleep all fucking day.

My biggest phobia after all the money I put into the trip is that im going to run out before we get to our destination. My direct deposit comes thurs at midnight and I already know how much it will be. Keeping the balance in the postive for wends and thurs during a roadtrip is going to be a trick.
In the postive we have soo much food in the car and the gas tank is full so we shouldn't need to really spend anything until after the show thurs. Worst case ill feel like a jerkoff and see if I can borrow like ten bucks from mdr.
The two checks I wrote from grocerries last friday still haven't shown that they have cleared the account and its making me nervous.
The way I write my checkbook I round up to hide money from myself so on my end its always negative so I scare myself into stopping spending, but I never know what I have in there from before the deposit because of it.
Saying a prayer in my head, I just hope that the balance stays around $200 incase I have to borrow against the check that isn't in there yet before thurs.
Worst case I can pull money off one of the ccs and deposit that. That may work actually if I make a payment to the cc thurs night.
As you can see im pretty bad with finanances.
Ill stop staying up worrying now. Tomorrow is a long day.

| make out offer boy- aka the serial kyler/weapons of mass destruction in my pants/friends day 0 |
[20 Aug 2008|04:43am] |
Until a friend comes to visit, you don't appreciate all the things in your backyard. I said this one day that I felt guilty because I never go to the museums and such unless someone comes to visit.
The adgenda between myself and the marquis de ruin for tomorrow keeps changing but hopefully we will see enough of chicago to keep her forfilled til new heart and me until I have the day free to wander again.
So a boy that my brother refers to as the "serial kyler" because of his rather clingy obesessive dealies sometimes, that I know I will see at two shows in the next few days asked me if he's getting a bday kiss so we I've been trying to pass the buck who is going to be the one to kiss em. Don't get me wrong he is a nice boy but...I tried to enlist alica (nope), myka (who I believe said something not nice to print) buf (? Still no answer so maybe?) but boy texted me wanted to makeout...so ill have to find someone drunk and be like please kiss this boy. In the meantime I plan to be in a liplock w anyone that passes by...
So in other news was talking to meg about the random idiots that both you on the train and somehow I pulled the line "well if anyone bothers me and mdr ill just be all leave us alone man...cas I have the weapons of mass destruction they can't find in my pocket."
Meg busts up laughing. "Weapons of mass destruction? That's why they are missing."
"They're in my pants bitch."
Don't rumble with this nuclear pussy bitches.
Im going to bed soon, got to get up super ass early, not like mdr's flight is that late but you never know with midway.
More ranting in the am.

Pontiac michigan was a no go for me. Im sure the regular michigan people are there which is normally about erin and friends and about a handful of other people.
Alicia got a late start and should be arriving soon, myka and buf must be in route cas I just got a text about soon seeing the bronze fonzie statue in milwaukee. Im not sure exactly where it is or id pull over and take a pic in front of it. Im sure our perverted minds could do some lewd w fonzie.
If anyone is expecting a call other than cala, jyl, and leo I need to know when to call you during the sets.
I didn't take a nap, so tired, hopefully work goes quick. Can't deal w another day of bs.

| Interview w/ Kill Hannah lead singer Mat Devine |
[19 Aug 2008|10:14am] |

Taken from here: http://www.mycitybuzz.com/content/view/1287/73/
Written by Art Michalski
Tuesday, 19 August 2008
What is Kill Hannah lead singer Mat Devine stuck doing before a gig in Kansas City? His laundry... and talking to MyCityBuzz. The band is halfway through their “Hope for the Hopeless” tour with Innerpartysystem. The Chicago based band is out supporting their 2007 record Until There’s Nothing Left Of Us and has been on the road the better part of a year behind it. We chatted with Mat about the long haul on the road and record label switches, here is what he had to say:
MyCityBuzz: How difficult was it to put this package together?
Mat Devine: It’s been cool to see this group of bands come together and the turnouts for the tour have been solid as well. When you develop a tour like this, figuring out what bands you want on a tour is easy. Trying to work out schedules can be agitating and the record labels behind the bands can sometimes convolute the issues. We’ve seen that happen with other dream tours we’ve tried to do in the past, but it never came to fruition. This time around, we looked at relateable up and coming bands, and it just happened to work out.

| Chicago ticket for sale |
[19 Aug 2008|10:54am] |
I have a ticket to the Chicago show for sale - a friend was going to buy it from me, but I just found out that she's changed her mind.
I bought it at the box office, so it's the $20 cover. I hope someone can use it!
I live in Rogers Park and work downtown - could arrange to get it to you this week or even early Saturday near Belmont or Addison el stops.

[19 Aug 2008|03:42pm] |
Somehow when ever I go to do something, there is always a catch 22.
Story of my life.
Mdr asked yesterday why I was getting the car so early, this is why love.
Talked my bro into giving me a lift to the rental place since no one was home so he for some reason insisted on driving my car. I don't get it either. What I do know is my turn signal does work and its just the wiring because I was behind my car for awhile.
Im trying to wave to my brother to signal that it was taking a minute and he ignores me.
I hate when things take forever so rental guy come back "miss radakovits," oh no im thinking. That always is code for there's a problem. "The aveo we were going to give you isn't back yet so we can drive you to another office and get either a colbalt or a kia sephia for the same rate." Which even the guy told me the rate I got online was amazing.
So I wave off my bro and tell em put the car back where it was and wait for me so I can get my keys back cas I don't have my house key but on the keys I gave em so don't leave w my keys. I say this several times. People that have met my bro understand why.
We get to the other office and the rental guy runs in, then after a bit as im texting mdr about the progress w the car, rental guy pops his head out the door. "Just a few more minutes."
Ok what's up?
He pops back out again. "We actually can't find the keys for the colbalt, ill be back."
He goes in again.
Now I just had a kia when my car was in the shop and it reminds me how much of a chevy girl I am. The kia maxed out at 40 mph and 3 rpm for fucksake, you know what's that's gunna be like highway?
Finally the rental guy comes back out all proud of himself like he cured aids or some shit or brought peace to the middle east. "I have the colbalt keys! They were in a box under the desk." Shit eating grin.
I don't know if I should say wow that's great or give the man a cookie or something. I take a shot in the dark. "Thanks...?" cheesy grin.
Car is loaded now, but as im texting mdr and she's complaining about her mac compact busting all over like a prom night condom I do the stupid open palm slap to the forehead. I put the bag that has my makeup in the trunk of the car.
Gdi!
Fuck it, im not wearing makeup to work today. Whatever, ill dig it out tomorrow.
Whatev.

{The what the fuck day is it? Oh who gives a shit tour}, {the I wear a shitty name tag at my civialian job and im here to have fun tour}, end of the world 2008 tour day -2
There were so many suggestions for tour names this time around its changing daily.
So much prep work has gone into this tour already. I've been packed for over a month which those that know me can totally believe.
I totally believe in omens and something w last night caused me to have some weird dream that I kept trying to hang myself and finally jumped off a building. I think im trying to push all the negative out of my mind now I guess.
I have so much luggage I look like im moving or homeless or some shit.
Already there is not drama but something in the air. Myka has regretfully texted me about eight times already about instead of staying at the apartment she shares w buffie (khk min) they somehow don't think they've cleaned enough to our standing and want to put me and the marquis de ruin up in a hotel and pay for half. No way, im telling her. We are no princesses and can urban camp (my term for just pulling over and sleeping anywhere on the side of the road) with the best of them. I think they feel this way because of the billions of times when I lived at my moms that id take in any kh fans w nowhere to stay before shows. The basement at my moms aparently has the nickname kh motel from some.
Anyway no ones dirty apartment is offenseive to me. If you saw the mess generated by myself and roomies on a daily basis (im typing this in the living room using a case of diet pepsi as a foot rest, get the picture) there is no way that some crap on the floor is gunna make me think less of you.
So wanna hear a stupid story of how I met buffie and myka millions of years ago? If not skip to the end of the entry because this is gunna be some cutesty kh love bs until I write again.
A reporter for ur chicago got in touch w me requarding the then baby street team that came from the merger of the oak park street team and what erin had pulled together on kh.net and off the offical message board and the blamo board. We had a lot of hang out days which apparently somehow got mentioned to this chick. So anyway she told me she wanted to meet some of the kids for this feature so I sent out a message and managed to get about ten people to show up at my house like last minute. Around midnight, I received a call when I was at a friends house from two girls in min that were reading this show up and be featured thing wanting to know how to get here. Now I was used to people I didn't know just showing up here as many of you still do, and its funny I've met about ten of my closest friends from an impromptu ill just meet you somewhere. And these girls told me they had a car they'd pimped out all kh style, pictures glued to every surface, floor mats that said "mat", glitter all over the dashboard, the paneling had been taken offf the doors so people could write their fav lyrics and draw sniper hearts where they sat. I had to see this thing.
Strange enough, my parents were going on some sort of trip that day so as they knocked on the door my mom was headed out w a bunch of luggage. I remember my mom yelling something like "two girls I don't know want you." Even back then that wasn't odd to me.
We sat on the couch in my moms stupid white room and kind of stared at each other a moment. Believe it or not im kind of shy when I first meet you, something a lot of people mistake for me being a bitch cas I don't say much. Somehow we bonded instantly over everyones favorite pass time "stupid shit mats ever said to you."
By the time the others and the reporter arrived, we were on the floor laughing so hard it wasn't even full sentences anymore. More like fragmented "oh that jonny" or "omg his hair " *dies*
Most intrestingly, after the reporter cam in for like .2 seconds, saw the car, and was frightened by the overwhelming force of screaming kh fans, we later found out after I had a second meeting with her at watusi, she sent me a copy of her email and a rather hateful letter about how she had a personal grudge against greg, I had my doubts and went to the boys w what she had given me. Later in an email from them I was told they had found out she wasn't who she claimed to be and didn't have a job at the magazine and had been some disgruntled nut job that thought mat wasn't nice enough to her or some shit and had picked me because aparently I had kicked her ass in some college level writing contest a semester before or something.
Its weird circumstances that brings me my loved ones.
Do I regret it? Never.
Oddly another one of my 4 last night had me read a blog in which she wrote "we are all defined by our best and worst moments. You are loved, you are forgiven." Which really set the tone I guess for this trip. Thanks g.
And as I typed this, phone just rang confirming the rental car. Mcsqueal!
Ill write more. Still have to go to work twice more. Blah.
