Hey JC, how about fuck Tronno and bring your casiotone to MA. NOISE JAM BACK ON.

(actually, I could use some decent synthy stuff for my Darryl Patterson Experiemental Flight Committee EP)

Johnny C · « **Reply #1201 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 15:46 »

Decent synthy stuff? Child, have you ever heard a Casiotone?

Liz · « **Reply #1202 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 16:03 »

Shane, I am more sad about you not going than I am about Jon not going.

Also my mom just got her new set of luggage today so I should be able to borrow a piece from her that's smaller than my giant red one. I think the biggest one she got was either 19 or 21 inches, so thats a good bit smaller than the one I have now. It's also patterned and more fun than boring red.

I've heard CftPA.

And to be honest, I really am sad that Jon and Rachel aren't going. Half the reason I was so excited about going at first was the road trip up to Tronno with them. I've never been on a proper road trip.

i am super excited for yarn crawl.

what's the weather there like? should i expect 90s like the midwest has been getting lately...?

morbid79 · « **Reply #1206 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 19:16 »

The weather has been all over the place. Sunny and breezy and mid-80s, grey and steamy and 110. No idea what it'll be like. Ask again next week.

tania · « **Reply #1207 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 19:25 »

hot. humid. terrible.

i'll update you in a few days but honestly, for now i'd say prepare for rain. the terrifying spontaneous kind.

Lines · « **Reply #1208 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 19:30 »

I am expecting it to be like it has been here for the past two weeks. Meaning I'll prepare for both rain and the heat you melt in.

So, dudes, I've decided that the group is taking an excursion to a rare and mystical place called Hooters. Your attendance is mandatory! Also, I have the hugest craving for wings, onion rings and beer.

Liz · « **Reply #1212 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 21:03 »

When is this excursion happening? I think Tommy pretty much has the whole visit scheduled down to the last minute.

yelley · « **Reply #1213 on:** 11 Jun 2008, 22:44 »

hooters... meh... i might sit that one out

morbid79 · « **Reply #1214 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 04:44 »

I have no plans to go there.

tania · « **Reply #1215 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 05:44 »

yeah that's not happening

Lines · « **Reply #1216 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 05:47 »

I like wings. But I don't think I could sit in Hooters long enough to eat them there.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1217 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 07:03 »

Hooters is seriously like the worst place I have ever been in my life. I have about three or four friends who love the place, but I've always hated it. Yay, watered down beer, subpar chicken wings and frumpy waitresses with uninspired backsides in booty shorts and low cut tops. If I wanted to look at ugly to average looking chicks in trashy clothing, I'd go to the flea market. At least then I'd have a $2 coat rack to show for my troubles.

tania · « **Reply #1218 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 07:20 »

but jon, at the flea market you wouldn't find girls working a job where one of the actual requirements is to smile at everything you say and encourage you to make creepy sexual comments towards them! where's the fun in that?

jhocking · « **Reply #1219 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 07:34 »

Hooters is where teenage boys practice for going to strip clubs later in life.

Johnny C · « **Reply #1220 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 08:36 »

No way. In Regina we have Dancers, a 16+ topless place. There is no alcohol served there. It's against the law here to have alcohol served in a strip joint.

A friend of mine went to Dancers on his birthday and the stripper there - the solitary Dancers-employed stripper - shoved his glasses in her no-no place.

Dancers is the worst.

I'll stick with my #2 coat rack if it's all the same to you, Tania. I need to hang my fucking coat.

Besides, it's a better rack than any I've ever seen at hooters!

Patrick · « **Reply #1222 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 10:47 »

If I wanted to see ugly chicks in trashy clothing, I'd move back to Columbus and hang around Ft. Benning all the time. At least they have KFC.

tania · « **Reply #1223 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 11:59 »

so basically hooters would less offensive and sexist if the girls who worked there were hot?

0bsessions · « **Reply #1224 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:17 »

Make note: I never once mentioned having a problem with the the place being offensive or sexist. My problem with the place is that it sucks out loud. Seriously. Why would you go to a place for sleaze when the sleaze is subpar? If I'm going to be a chauvinist, I am going to do it right.

Johnny C · « **Reply #1225 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:27 »

Hooters is subpar, though not the worst restaurant I've ever been to. As well, I'd posit that it's precisely because they are so heavily objectified that the waitresses there are unattractive. That's just me though.

jhocking · « **Reply #1226 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:34 »

The waitresses are already fairly objectified in most of the bar and grill type restaurants I've been to, that's not really the part that bothers me. I just think Hooters is horribly tacky. It's like going to TGI Friday's, only with the added strike of you feel like a creep for being there.

Johnny C · « **Reply #1227 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:36 »

Objectified by who? It's one thing for the patrons to be sleazy but it's another thing for a company to base itself on that and actively exploit it.

jhocking · « **Reply #1228 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:41 »

Well sure it's considerably less blatant, but there's still that ol' tradition of the bar wench. Do you think it's an accident when the entire waitstaff in a pub consists of attractive young women who wear tight fitting jeans? As for the company's sleazy image, that's part of what I meant about it being tacky.

Patrick · « **Reply #1229 on:** 12 Jun 2008, 12:53 »

I've never been to a Hooter's restaurant, mostly because of two reasons. Number one is that I have a mother and a sister. I love and respect them both. Any of the girls working as waitresses in a Hooter's restaurant could be somebody's mother, sister, wife, daughter, or anything. I don't treat women badly because I am only a partial cockbag, not a complete one.

Reason number two was understated and humor-ized by my KFC comment: I've had the taken-home leftovers from a friend's 'dining experience' at Hooter's. It tasted like ass. "At least they have KFC" is in reference to the fact that Hooter's food is even below a fast food chain's level of quality.

It infuriates me to have veiled accusations thrown my way.

Is there by any chance a carpool going anywhere near Rochester, NY that both has room and wouldn't mind an extra person they have never met join them?

Oh sure, how do you get dibs on a Rochester ride bumming.

We should just have RocCon. Go to Dinosaur or Tahou's or some shit.

Wait, Stephen. Does this mean you and your wife aren't coming now? Because her personalized name badge is actually the one I like best. And yours is pretty awesome too.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #1240 on:** 13 Jun 2008, 16:35 »

No no no, she's definitely coming, she just may not be able to come till late Friday night and I'm sure everyone would like the credit card that reserved the Hostel room to show up at check in.

Sorry Matt I got nothin

Oh man I leave in four days. I have to start maybe thinking a little about packing. I should make a list...

morbid79 · « **Reply #1246 on:** 14 Jun 2008, 14:22 »

Packing? For a quick trip? Socks, underwear, two t-shirts, two pairs of shorts, flip flops, and a poncho.

Liz · « **Reply #1247 on:** 14 Jun 2008, 14:25 »

With travel, I will be gone for a week. That is not the quickest trip. Plus I am the stereotypical girl, I pack "just in case" and I guarantee I will bring more clothes than I actually end up wearing. Also multiple pairs of shoes.

It will not actually take that long but I am still making a list because I tend to forget important things like pajamas or underwear or deodorant or batteries.

morbid79 · « **Reply #1248 on:** 14 Jun 2008, 14:27 »

We do have stores here. Lots of them. You know, just in case.

Liz · « **Reply #1249 on:** 14 Jun 2008, 14:29 »

I still like to make a list. Besides, I need to write down things like "birth certificate" and "bus tickets" because odds are I would forget them otherwise.
