Sounds like you're on the right track. My goal in life is to give birth to electro-noise-funk.

I have tonight off! I need to find something to do though. And by something I mean someone

and by someone to do, I mean friends

I just kidding! But really, anybody know of any shows or anything in Milwaukee? I really want to start going to more and by more I mean going to shows to begin with. And when I'm at home, I blow my nose. I don't use tissues, or my sleeve. I don't use napkins, or any of these...

I use Maaaaaagaziiiiiiiines! Maaaaaaaagaziiiiiiiines!

Nothing tonight dude. But I'm planning to spend the majority of the night at the makerspace doing woodworking and drinking belgian ales!

Eagles club tomorrow night: http://www.last.fm/event/1802760+Shpongle (I hate the Eagles Club / The Rave. Terrible acoustics, it's just a big concrete bunker, not big enough for how loud they play the music, and the back wall is too close so you just get muddy splash acoustics.)

Young Widows are playing the Cactus Club on Sunday, May 15th. You gotta come down for that, snipelboy.

Also Red Fang is May 23rd at the Cactus Club but that's a monday night. dunno if that is hard with your schedule.

Earth is playing Mad Planet in Riverwest in June. http://www.last.fm/event/1917382+Earth+ ... +June+2011 I'm planning on going.

I got a job that I really wanted. This is the best thing that's happened to me in about 2 years.*

* Because I started dating my girlfriend about 3 years ago now.

I start Monday morning, the morning after the Young Widows show, and the bus for my new commute leaves at 7AM. So I hope the Young Widows don't play last & I can sleep..

Price you pay to be a happy dude! I always think it's going to suck waking up after shows (My body sucks with sleep...I feel like I need 10 hours)...But, when I relive how rad the show was AND you get to get up and earn some money to buy cool gear, you realize that it's not all that bad.

[snipelfritz]

lol, I just slept like 13 hours. Not straight, but I've been in bed this whole time. Good thing I don't have to work tonight.

those first-year courses in American colleges aren't there for the colleges to make money...they're remedial classes because most Americans come out of high school so ignorant that many can't write coherently and a terrifying number need practical math instruction as well as the basics of science, etc.

90% of American education is of lower value than having a library card. Fact.

Gig on Saturday. Guitar Show Sunday, I couldn't be happier.

Truth. This is a rough commute until we move. 7AM I get on a bus, the bus takes about 1.5-2 hours to get to other city, Madison, and I work all day. Leave work to catch bus home at 5:20PM, get home at 7PM, or most likely later depending on rush hour traffic and the road construction. But I've done this commute a bunch before. You get into the rhythm of it. And you can sleep on the bus, which is a huge plus over driving.
