Thanx Poot and Bosco! I bless thee!

Stagecoach line-up announced but not the 'Coachella' line-up! Weak, but its still to early!

California's Country Music Festival?

I hate to devolve and start spouting off irrationally, but fuck that shit.

I remember Goldenvoice sent me an e-mail about this at some point in time advertising that it was going to be happening, and I replied with only one line:

Never send me anything about country music again. Ever.

It looks like I'll be without a car for a while. Getting a fuel valve for the tank so I can stop polluting the city and pass my smog test. But here's the shitty part.

Fuel valve : $10.60

Labor : $400.00!!!!!!!

Another stimulus package please!

fucking christ.

print out that huge post by Pooter and see if that can get you a discount.

Aw, man--that really sucks! :-(

Keep the faith, brother. Something else will come along to even it out.

Coachella 09 should be the return of the 90's electronica bands reunited!

Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy! Period.

You forgot about Orbital, Underworld and Aphex Twin. ;-)

There's a good chance that Prodigy will play with the new album coming out in March. I can't believe they're still around and bringing it at their shows.

Oh yeah, them too Pooter! I think Prodigy will be a 'lock in' for Coach!

In other news, that Montecito fire has gone crazy! 100 homes burnt down! Just a bummer watching it on TV!

Yorba Linda, Sylmar and Anaheim Hills is up in smoke! At least 500 house destroyed. The sun looks like a neon orange while ashes rain down on the parked cars outside.

Terrible air everywhere! I even heard that the firehoses melted on the street when the fire department was setting up camp in Yorba.

Yeah, I read about those yesterday. :-( Sad days for the people down there.

On the plus side of things, I'm getting to spend a lovely weekend with my girlfriend in Eugene. :)

The fires are terrible! South of where I am, it's clear blue skies but when you look north, there's a massive dark layer of brown and black hovering in the distance. Always makes me nervous when it's fire season because my apartment complex backs up to Laguna Canyon road which is more or less a concrete stream that winds through an open preserve - and will go up like a book of matches if someone flicks their cigarette butt out of their car window.

*sigh* I'm sorry I've been neglecting the forums. I really don't mean to... I check this place every day but haven't been in the mood to post much. The strain of the past few months are finally coming to a head.

Stash might get upset if I mention this because he doesn't dig the pity card and I don't mean to fish for sympathy at all - I just want to let it be known what's going on. Stash is going in for surgery early tomorrow morning, so things have been stressful. He'll be in the hospital anywhere from 3 days to a week, probably the latter. Then it's a month or so of recovery time at home. I'm grateful my job is allowing me to work from home for the next couple of weeks otherwise I don't know how I'd be able to juggle work and personal affairs without having a freak out.

Anyway - I miss this place and miss you all. I've been listening to lots of Chems because their music always seems to see me over life's hurdles. I can't wait til this is all over so life can resemble some sense of normalcy again!

My best to Stash!!

I hope that goes as well as it can...

Dear lord.... makes me sound like a whiny bitch when I complain about my impacted wisdom teeth that need to be removed.

Hang tough, guys.

P.S. those fires are horrible.....and to think it was just snowing here in Chicago the other day...

oh yes, and to reinforce the coachella spirit

-whiny-

And that Coachella picture is awesome.

I know I've said this for a few years now, since 2005, actually, but I feel like this year I'm actually going to go...

Any interesting rumors yet?

Prodigy and Gorillaz

Good call Bosco on the line-up. That pic would go great across my wall! Speaking of wisdom teeth, my dentist told me to take them out years ago, but i'm too much of a wuss to take them out yet. BTW, im glad the fires are gone.

...and how was your trip Pooter?

My truck is on life support as it just came out of a coma. need 2 more parts to get it fixed.

@whirly

Hope everything went well with your husbands surgery. We miss you here and think of you alot!

Trip was awwwwwesome.

It was great to see my girlfriend and turned out to be, ::ahem::, educational. ::blushes::

@ Boscos' photo.....Ohh is it a were's waldo Coachella edition! I'm sure I'll find him among the hipster coke heads!

Just figured this out!

Just recently, Faithless, Justice, and Soulwax have Live DVD's out!

Makes you want to ask that burning question?
