HAHA CHANGE OF PLANS, COACHELLA
|
|
| advice please! |
[21 Jan 2007|08:43pm] |
well, just like last year, with the 'conference in oklahoma, while i'm there, go to new york' thing... this year the conference is in lake tahoe (famous for killing sonny bono), and this time the plan is a bit different
18th may: lake tahoe -> seattle .. bus from seattle to vancouver
spend 2 days partying with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) twee, fresh off the peaceboat
then somehow get down to LA, staying for periods in seattle, olympia, portland, san francisco
HOW LONG DO I NEED ?
it isn't that big a deal, cause i'll probably greyhound it between the first 3 cities, so i won't need to book fares in advance (will i?), but i'll need to fly from portland to SF, and then from SF to LA. But i'm sure i can do that at the time, and not get reamed, right ?
what to do, where, and for how long ?
ideas plz!!!!

It's that time of year again!
filmzzzz
I've done my initial run-through of the program, picking out stuff to lock in
and then last night, got the "Dan+Bec - Here's what you missed" rundown
Combined them to form 18 days of fun!
So if anyone who is miff-inclined reads this, and notices something I've missed, which will be fantastic, please let me know.
See you guys in the queues!

so i went to fed square last night (with god knows how many thousands of others) to stand around for 3 hours, being pushed and shoved (big day out style), and then finally watch some soccer
i sorta think it'd be fun if we lived in a country that would all riot and loot after a match like that, but really all that happened is that some people started a "BULLLLLLLLSHIT.... BULLLLLLLLSHIT...." chant, and then we all went home
oh well

i'm pretty proud of what we accomplished last night
i ran off from work at around 4, and headed down to the good ol' belgian beer cafe
no mucking around with bad beer, except for that damn stella someone bought for me by mistake. ew. leffe blondes in the afternoon sun (plus a delirium tremens, because i had to catch up). dogs and midgets running around. blind kids. shady trees. fries with mayonnaise. nice way to spend the afternoon.
it hit about 9, and we got sick of waiting for that little piker fuke to show up, so we had to walk to 161, for the first time in aaaaages. jumping in every hedge possible along the way. got there just in time for the last 15 minutes of cheap drinks... what the? since when do they stop at 10?
from then on the night was a bit of a blur of beer and tequila. god bless nik for buying bottles of water on his shout, that was the best thing i had drunk all night. at some point luke and sydney came down, FINALLY, so we had to molest the poor girl. i also said something mildly offensive, and sent her into the toilets to cry. whoops.
next thing you know it's closing time, so we had to run down to hj's of course.
good way to spend a new years eve eve eve
defo need a quiet one tonight

i played hackey sack yesterday, at the work bbq
1) why didn't anyone remind me i'm an uncoordinated nerd ?
2) damn it hurts today, i feel like i've wrestled 5 rounds with zombie harold holt
perhaps i should buy a hackey sack instead of a gym membership
or perhaps my pain is just due to them buying 'carlton cold' for the bbq :|

well
i'm done
my schedule
kinda tricky .. and expensive
2 x mini passes :(
but I just can't justify the extra cash for a season pass, and i don't have time for more than this, so it'd be wasted anyway. Plus it's all electronic now, so I can't even use the season pass to get paper tickets for my sessions, and then give the rest to someone else. curse technology!
so yea, in a few hours, i'll head down and line up, and get all these tickets
so if my schedule sucks, or i've missed a great movie, TELL ME SOON!
(although i still have 1 x full ticket and 6 x before 4pm on a weekday sessions left)

as i do, once every time i move house, today i fixed my record player
this time it involved buying a dual rca lead from k-mart, cutting it to bits, and splicing it back together onto the mostly dead lead coming from the record player. discovered my stereo doesn't have enough oomph to recieve this, and thus also had to drag out my lil 2 track mixer/amp. so much effort.
so this afternoon, i have, and plan to continue, been playing my rather limited collection of records, which I really only hear once a year. no doubt, tomorrow, i'll pack my record player away again, and won't get it out for another year ... what a shame
high points:
- gouache
- the andrews ep - andrew coffee and andrew sousa
- light's suprising constancy
- 99
- a zillion spinanes 7 inches i bought on ebay and hadn't listened to yet
if only i had the space to leave this baby set up permanently

is there a rule that says the pope has to be catholic? I guess so, otherwise that saying wouldn't be true anymore, and bears would start shitting everywhere.
I have a fridge now, and plates and cutlery. A week of not having those things wasn't so bad at all. So yes, I have a flat. It's small, hot, smells of gas, and has noisy doors, but it's mine. Come visit some time.
Someone yelled for 'the chorus is suffering' last night, and Peggy started playing. Sadly no-one else joined in. I think everyone was at REM anyway.
I'm going to canberra in two weeks. Hey, look at me!
