I just googled it and found this, but it's not really more enlightening than the message on the Road page.

I learned that Shane MacGowan once ate the LP of Beach Boys Greatest Hits Vol. 3 when he was on acid.

I have tried to get into that board too, but every time I've looked in on it, it's overrun with people writing things like, "OMG, Ryan iz so Qt. duz anybody knO wot brand he smkez? I luv dat shirt he wz warin lst wk. bt I hOp itz not true dat he hookd ^ w Lindsay Lohan cuz she iz such a skank.I tink I wiL git a Tat2 of Ryan lyrics on my lowR bak."

American Water is one of my favorite albums.

I'll go with May 22. Should we get a pool going?

Jeff's mother died last Friday.

I heard the album but found it intolerably bad. I like klezmer, and even some Klezmatics songs that I'd heard before, and I love Woody Guthrie... but this just wasn't for me.

Thanks for your input, everyone. When we recalculated, we realized that L.A. was actually much cheaper than Austin... so we'll go to L.A. this time. We'll wait a few years and try to make it to SXSW or ACL Festival when I get out of grad school. As for getting out of L.A. while we're there, we are definitely planning to rent a car and see things other than freeways.

Well damn -- how else will I remember what a good time I had on my trip if not with a souvenir Velvet Touch Clit Licker emblazoned with the lonestar?

I have always found The Salary Calculator quite useful when contemplating a move.

We've been there already. We want to go somewhere we haven't been. Also: we live in BALTIMORE, people. We're easily impressed.

My boyfriend and I want to take our vacation during the first week in February, and we want to go somewhere warmish (at least compared to Baltimore), so our final contenders are Los Angeles and Austin. I priced both trips as far as airfare, hotel, and rental car, and it would cost about the same either way. It's too early to know if there will be any good shows that week, although I am sure there will be in both places, just because there almost always are. Where would you go, and why? It will be my first time for either place. Edited to add: we like to shop for books and music, eat cheap

Dear Tweedy Family, My thoughts are with you at this time. I am so sorry for your loss. XOXO Heather Moss Baltimore, MD

If I didn't work, I'd never be here! It's the only way to break the tedium of my desk job.

I was cheerleading captain in 8th grade, but I got kicked off the team for a reason that I no longer remember. Went to high school and realized that the kids who hung out in the art & music wing were a lot more fun than the jocks, and I never looked back.

She's adorable, and I love the name Hannah because it's a palindrome. Congratulations and good luck.

I saw Chuck Prophet twice (as an opening act for Lucinda Williams and again as an opening act for Old 97's, I think) and I think he's terrific. I'd love to see him sometime as the headlining act.

It is possible to be a spiritual, deep, good-hearted person without being a Christian, you know. I was raised Catholic, went to church every Sunday of my life until I was 16 and had 13 years of Catholic school. I do not consider myself a Christian any longer, but I did not throw out the baby with the bathwater. There is plenty to love about the teachings of Christ. I just don't happen to buy into the idea of "God" in the Christian sense. I have no idea whether Jeff identifies as an agnostic, but I was at that Messiah College show and it definitely seemed that he didn't identify as a Christia

Thanks for the idea! I just did it.

Analogman suggested that I post about my new Mix CD swap in this thread. You can read about it here.
