we exchanged emails a little while back… since my initial transmission and response i have come to realize that you are a bit of a blog celebrity… what is that like?
that doesn’t really require any answer, it was more of a rhetorical, absurd life position ahoy, question. absurd in the sense that you seem to be a great voice from some sort of non-hipster hipster section of society that i am rarely exposed to. excuse the use of the term hipster. fuck hipsters. non-hipster hipster only has minor connections to hipsterhood.
regardless, my uninformed stumble upon a few of your works inspired me to start a blog… i guess i thought it would be a good release. and your wit provided me with some evidence that not all the people who had blogs were in the generic douche category.
i would be much obliged if you took a minute to check it out. not exactly because i am looking for blog celebrity recognition gratification, but somewhat… it is all so new and EXCITING!!!!! more because it was a partial influence thing… maybe you will find that cute or disgusting or nothing. irrelevant.
do you try to avoid making yourself the absolute source of your writing material? meaning, do you try to stay away from always pulling intricate messages from your own complex shit? to disjoint this even more, is it improv based on information you have synthesized or is it all from the subjective realm of interpretting your own experience?
that might be one simpler question, but i couldn’t get it together.
THE CREEPING NOBODIES (CD RELEASE SHOW!) THE WHARTON TIERS ENSEMBLE RYVYR WYRD VISIONS & DJ CRAIG DUNSMUIR
FRIDAY, JUNE 2ND AT THE HORSESHOE $8 ADV/$10 DOOR 19+, DOORS AT 9PM
Hello Friends,
Perhaps you have always thought about coming to see the Creeping Nobodies, but kept telling yourself “Oh, I’ll catch the next show. There’s beer here at home and I want to watch the game.” Or perhaps you’ve come before , got really sweaty, and forgot all about the game. At any rate, we have a very special show coming up this Friday, June 2nd at the Horseshoe. It is the CD release show for our new album, Sound of Joy, that’s been two years in the making. We recorded most of it in NYC with Wharton Tiers at Fun City Studios, and it is our great pleasure to announce that his band, The Wharton Tiers Ensemble, will also be performing! For those that don’t know, Tiers has recorded and produced bands such as Sonic Youth, and played drums for the Theoretical Girls (late 70’s NYC no wave). Ryvyr will also be performing, which I am told is a psych band featuring members of Jon Ray and the River. Opening the show will be Wyrd Visions, who also just released an album, which is AMAZING. Craig Dunsmuir will be DJing, and I promise you that the man has excellent taste. Do not sleep on this!
Special advance tickets are available at Rotate This and Soundscapes. The tickets are a limited edition run of microfiche slides. We rip off the stub at the show, and you keep the microfiche as an album insert. If you take it to the library (or anywhere with a microfiche reader), you can view photos, artwork by our friends, notebook pages of lyrics, and more.
See the attached files for a copy of the poster and photo of the ticket!
fil and i went to see x-men 3 last nite and it was awful, i mean, it was good but still pretty bad and i have never seen so many loners in a theatre before in my life. one guy in front of us was talking and squealing to himself THE ENTIRE TIME. the acting was terrible, the dialogue was cheesy, the outlandish costumes of the rogue punk mutants were embarrassing and right from the beginning of the movie it’s like immediately accepted that mutants and humans live amongst one another but then five minutes later humans are all WE HAVE A MUTANT CURE!
also a cute thing, after EVERY movie fil and i go to see, for the next 24 hours, fil, IS, the, movie. after mission impossible he was like, a spy. last nite he was logan aka wolverine and he does all these superhero poses and pretends to stab me through my chest. then he hid in the dark in the livingroom when we got home and i just walked into the bedroom instead cos i knew he was there, i turned around fast, flicked on the lights and there he was crouching like wolverine with his invisible claws out and cid was sitting beside him just like, sitting there.
so scary.
oh yeah after the credits there is an extra scene, do not bother waiting for it, unless you are stoned or wasted – it will piss you off, it is maybe 15 seconds long and the credits are like 4 minutes long. not worth it. i could just tell you what the scene is now if you want.
went to the famous Gellert Baths. had to put a hug4e deposit down to borrow a towel. naturally someone stole my towel. the staff encouraged me to go out and steal someone elses towel. Now i’m writing them a terse letter.
raymi says:

nol says:

nol says:

raymi says:

raymi says:

nol says: “couldnt find a towel, but on the former recommendation of your staff to steal something else, i opted for one of your clocks!”
raymi says:

nol says:

nol says:

nol says:
whatever
nol says:
what’d hungary be, anyway, if you didnt get people trying to rip you off every hour
raymi says:
