Random Koolzip's food smells good.

I'd already eaten by the time I got to his place of business, so I just drank there. But he sure was cooking up some yummy-smelling stuff.

Of course, I believe I contracted Lyme disease there, but no matter.

1. I've been wanting to crow about seeing The Wrens over the weekend.

Where is he? :-)

2. Did you see Franz Ferdinand?

[GOPisEvil]

3. No, dammit, but I should have.

I met a really nice Australian woman who was talking them up. I heard some of their CD, liked it.

I missed The Mekons, too. Damned lines! x(

This is double post.

Me stupid.

4. Yeah, I hear Franz Ferdinand sold out quickly. Cool.

Me likey.

5. Sold out isn't quite right, but the club filled FAST!

That was a HUGE problem on Friday night. I missed out on just about everything I wanted to see. No Mekons, no Calexico, no John Vanderslice. Although, I caught JV at an in-store performance on Saturday.

Your wristband guarantees admission IF the club has room. Fire code violations are $1000 per person over the limit, so clubs are careful not to let too many folks in.

10. They got a feature review in Mojo this month....

I'm gonna wait until the hype dies down. After all, we all know that Lift to Experience, Hipsway, the Strokes, and We Are Going To Eat You weren't exactly the fucking new Beatles, and THEY all were darlings of the Limey press for a few months too.....

6. what kind of restaurant is it?

[Whitacre D_WI]

7. The Belgian kind.

[RandomKoolzip]

8. Yeah, you know, bits of string, cigarette butts, used band-aids....

Belgian food.


Thanks for the lovely how-do-you-do! (we were REALLY busy that night).


Hopleaf Restaurant in Andersonville, Illinois, in case anyone's interested...

9. Thank you. you're too kind. Really.

No, really. I'm kind of creeped out now. ( i'm kidding....any other DUers ever wanna come by the Hopleaf in Andersonville, north of the Loop in Chicago, please do!)

11. What no more iceberg lettuce and vinegar?

you've sold out Sri Koolzip. Go off to some fancy town and everything changes. It's like I don't even know you anymore.
