so back in 1993 KVSC 88.1FM (the St. Cloud college station i listened to religiously) was having one of their quarterly pledge drives. of the different pledge levels, $100 was one of the highest* and that donation would get you a day of basically directing programming at the station. you could dictate the playlists and things of that nature around the news programs and such. well, someone did donate that much money and wanted a whole day dedicated to ... The Cure. so yeah, 12+ hours of nothing but The Cure, and where they normally broadcast the featured artist spotlight at 11pm, they played a Cure concert in its entirety. i listened a goodly portion of the day, and it kinda messes you up hearing that much Fat Bob &co. for so many hours...
KVSC ceased this pledge benefit after that.
* with $100 being a lot of money back then (especially in semi-rural Minnesota)... nowadays, a $100 pledge to, like, KEXP barely gets you a t-shirt |

i'm planning on hanging out at Common Roots (2558 S Lyndale Ave) on my day of birth from 7pm to 8:30pm, then moving to Galactic Pizza (2917 S Lyndale Ave) (or Luce if the 'party' is large') after that. Call me if you have any doubts as to my whereabouts... my mobile phone # is 425.233.2676
i know i picked a very inconvenient time of the year to be born; i am sorry for that.
EDIT:
as my parents want time to do the birthday thing at their house tomorrow, i had to push the times out by an hour. this post now has the correct information! |

when i first heard Lordi (around when they were in the Eurovision 2006 Song Contest) i thought 'why does this sound exactly like something Alice Cooper would have written in the late 80s, like with Jon Bon Jovi and whatever?' since then, i've been listening to more Finnish bands and it sure does seem the land of my ancestry loves the pop-metal and the glam rock as much as its own national anthem, going at least back to Hanoi Rocks... and today with the likes of The 69 Eyes, H.I.M, Nightwish, etc etc...
... so it is with mirth and merriment that i just found out today Tarja Turunen's (ex-Nightwish) solo album features none other than a cover of "Poison", a track from... a late-80s Alice Cooper album. |

not only will i be in MN from Dec 23 to Jan 03, but i am planning on (some sort?) of birthday thing on Dec 27. yes, that is my birthday, in the dark edge of the year. i don't know exactly what it's going to be, as i am no longer living in the Twin Cities and surely something more exciting than Pizza Luce has come along since six long years ago, so maybe you can throw some ideas out there. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) alisgray, what plans are in place for you and azure_armand's birthdays? there are many places i would propose to meet up here, but i lack the powers of polyinstantaneousteleportation* to bring you all over for, say, a meetup at Metrix CreateSpace, then delicious sushi at Ototo or noodles at ThaiThom or ramen from Samurai or whatever and then ice cream in Molly Moon. i do not even possess the means for a single instance of monolongtermteleportation. nay, not i.
* (if i did, i would probably pick an entirely different location altogether) |

80th birthday party at the Five Point tonight, with food and drink at 1929 prices. i had 8 eggs, 4 slices of toast (gave teh bacon to a coworker), 2 sides of fries and half a beer for about $1.80. the gnosh wasn't especially well prepared and the beverage was awful, but what do you expect for ~a quarter apiece? dunno if it was worth waiting outside for two hours in 0c weather, but the atmosphere was an experience... |

Started: sometime in spring?, 1987
Finished: 12 minutes ago, 2009
the sense of accomplishment i am currently feeling is certainly not disproportionate. also, most of the entire volume was read in bed, while postponing sleep.
my only regret -aside from not completing this 20 years ago- was not reading it all from the version at my parents' house with the covers i liked (and which are, in my mind, the 'true' editions.) these books were some very battered and worn 1972 paperback vintage loaned from my ex-roommate, and had belonged to her deceased father. |

it seems mostly like i post death notices these days, but RIP to one of my favorite authors, JG Ballard. if i've not recommended to you yet to read one of his short story collections, do so. |
