My one visit was before Wilco's show at the Fox. This isn't an epic meal, as such, but there used to be a place in Kalamazoo many years ago called The High Wheeler. They had an extensive menu of ice cream creations -- sundaes and banana splits and whatever else, dozens of variations. They also had a standing contest that required a team of two entrants to eat the "Party Wheel," which was a huge thing intended for ten people, in half an hour (or maybe it was an hour, I forget). Successfully completing that challenge qualified the entrants for a monthly(?) contest in which each competitor

I have to get back there sometime. I've only been once, and I don't remember what I had, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't it.

Amazon will let you preorder a "UK LP Pressing" for $28.02. It says it's only 1 disc, but with "Marais La Nuit" I'm not sure how that's possible. Causes me to wonder whether this is really a vinyl listing.

When we drove past it last summer (I made a point of doing so) it was painted in a rather nondescript fashion -- certainly nothing like its appearance on the cover of that Jefferson Airplane anthology. edit: the Google Maps streetview image is pretty much how I remember it from last June.

Not a fan, personally.

No argument from me on any of those names. You forgot Rob Schneider (assuming he still gets work). I still hold out hope that Myers will stumble across something new and funny someday, but I thought the Austin Powers films were atrocious. His best post-SNL moments were the first Wayne's World film and So I Married An Axe Murderer. Everything else has pretty much sucked, imo (they should've stopped after the first Shrek film). I don't have high expectations for the Keith Moon thing he's reportedly doing.

It's not Jack's thing either, imo.

Assuming he sells them. I confess to not really knowing anything about his following ... can he fill venues this large? He's playing the Fox in Detroit, which seats over 5,100.

Ah. As bad as the photo is, I didn't bother to look for errors. I would guess that that's a baseball schedule, not football.

Huh?

Vibes, dondo. And nice thread title. Only fellow Michiganders are likely to get it...

I'm skipping it this year, because evidently I'm not very good at being a baseball fan.

The Eagles. edit: wait, I thought the thread title said "impotent."

Obama played a major role in the writing of the bill, and people see the monkey as a racist reference to him.

If by "exciting," you mean "pathetic."

Normally I'd say just stupid, but this particular cartoonist has a history of being a racist, sexist, homophobic asshole.

I was thinking more along the lines of Michelle Malkin and her ilk, who can be relied upon to dismiss the administration's announcement entirely. But, point taken.

Because I'm swarthy.

I'm as bummed about the loss of their distribution as I am about the label itself. Hopefully Merge, Drag City, and the others will find a new distributor.

I know this won't appease the wingnuts who insist that the Big Bad Fairness Doctrine is on its way back regardless of what anyone says, but it should be pretty definitive to the rest of us whose brains still function on some level.

Well, fuck.

That looks like the one. Man. $2500 is pretty steep for a 20-year-old pinball machine. For that kind of scratch, I would expect it to be in mint condition.

Um. Yeah. I don't do much DLing anymore, but I might have to make an exception in this case (plus, I know I'll be buying the disc eventually). Of course, I wouldn't even know where to find it, so if anyone wants to PM me with a hint... edit: thanks to all who responded! (There were many of you)
