Where's Your Hedgehog?
Here's your hedgehog.
okay, weekend recap - DJ-ed at Bad Dog Saturday which was pretty cool, spent money earned at Mama Kitty's for brunch and Lush for me. Sooz decided we should make risotto and in the middle of stirring I realized I had to go see
Adam at Uncommon Ground, and also enjoyed Algebro. It was a good time, and I was there much later then expected. The risotto (and wine) were waiting for me though.

OMG I heart Joanna Newsom!
Finally got to see her last nite, with the Handsome Family opening, what a lovely nite. Until the woman pulled off her prosthetic arm. EEEEEK.
There is a lot going on this weekend, but I know for sure I will be playing some music at the Bad Dog Tavern in Lincoln Square this weekend, woot. Probably going to see that penguin movie too.

I have a morbid fascination with Billy Corgan
The full page "message to Chicago" in the Trib and Sun-Times really put me over the edge today. I listened to the new album, and it doesn't really excite me. Oh well, at least I can
read about the first time he saw a nekid lady. hmmm.

I have nothing to say really.
just chillin' on a Friday nite, or Saturday morning. i am enjoying some BLACK FOREST GUMMI BEARS. They are more Americanized than Haribo, which are harder and rubberier than these. yes, I'm serious.

Insert Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Quote Here
We crashed the Candy Expo today. It was Brianne's brilliant idea. We just regsitered online as buyers and got these lil' badges in the mail. We took a few samples here and there but the fun started when sooz arrived and started grtabbing things we really weren't supposed to have like Star Wars video game cases (filled with M&M's, natch), and Hello Kitty candy prize slot machines and such. At the end, you are allowed a little shopping bag to fill up in a room full of candy whilst candy themed songs like "Candy Girl" by New Edition, "Candy" by Cameo, "How Sweet it Is" by James Taylor. It was like Halloween, but like 9 times better because you didn't have to get a costume and you took only the really awesome stuff you wanted!!
Best Candy: Raspberry Ghiradeli Sqaures, Tropical Nerds Rope, Etch a Sketch on a lollipop, Blow Pops, full size box of Andes Mints, Pez, GUMMI BEARS (HARIBO AND BLACK FOREST!)
Worst "Candy": Kidos Fruit Filled Cookies, Hoop Cake, Tatli Sucuk ("sweet sausage with walnuts", a "natural aphrodisiac".)
candy time!
Had a lovely time Sunday at Danny and Tiffanie's cookout, then Adam and I "chilled" on the sofa and watched copious amounts of telelvision. Worked yesterday... Today Brianne and I (to be joined by Gina and Sooz?) have a secret mission which I will tell you about later if it pans out.

oh yeah i should post
Monday nite went to the Hideout which was without power. that's okay, it was really nice outside with lanterns and the beer was relatively cold. Gave out some magnetic ribbons (that did NOT say "support our troops"). Came home with Adam who partook in the magic of a white chocolate take 5 with me.
Not much else has been happening. I decided to attempt to finish Final Fantasy 9 (or whatever the last one on the old Playstation was) but actually started playing Chrono Cross instead.
don't look for much more action until this weekend, where I am attempting to go to like 5 different events on Saturday (I would count Stephen Malkmus @ Metro and dance party @ Hideout as for sure.

Amazing Discovery
I have never really enjoyed brushing my teeth, for some reason my mouth feels really gross afterwards. Yesterday, I found out why! I bought some Hello Kitty toothpaste on Sunday and it says on the tube "contains no sugar", which makes me think "well, duh you're brushing your teeth, why would you put sugar on them?" I look at the ingredients and there it is: Saccharine. Ew ew ew. I do not want that stuff anywhere near my body, I think it tastes AWFUL. I am at Walgreens yesterday and check out all the major brands of toothpaste and they almost ALL HAVE IT. EXCEPT Tom's of Maine. So, I pay the $3.67 (much more than other brands) for a tube of Cinnamint gel. Brushing with it was a whole new experience!!!
