Is anyone on myspace? Add me here!

I bought a couple of new CD's yesterday. Mostly I get stuff on itunes but I wanted the actual CD's this time. I got Hanoi Rocks 'the definitive collection' (39 songs!), and the dead boys 'we have come for your children'. The funny part is that I got them at Tower Records which in my mind is...

williamj:
the sin picture used to be the treasure island sign. they changed the name of the place to just TI now and have some fancy video screen sign frown

the guy at the boneyard told me that alot of the old casinos on the strip are getting tore down to make way for condos and the new mege-plex casino/hotels that have all the big malls and stuff in them. they want everything to be like the mandalay bay, bellagio, and the wynn hotels. its sad but campy neon is on its way out of the vegas strip.
williamj:
circus circus still is there but it is rumoured to be on the list of things getting torn down.
i saw on the net where the stardust is getting torn down this year and the guy at the boneyard said that he had heard that the tropicana, imperial palace, and some of the other older places were next.

at least the still have fremont street in downtown vegas. that place is where the party is every night with their foot long daiquiris and 50oz plastic footballs full of beer and the giant tv thing overhead

Friday was the best night of my life!! Break it down:

5:25: Get in line for the NY Dolls signing. Hangout with Pat-a Bowie lovin', make up wearin', mohawk tootin' freak! It's basically me, my friend Vic, our friends Adrian and Eddie and 40 other people in line.

7:00-ish: We finally get in to see the band and there's maybe like 200-300 people? Something small...

i'm so excited for you tonight. That's gonna be so cool to meet the boys, great great band. I've never really met a band that I liked, i've met some celebrities, but never really any of my idols. I'm trying to make it my life's goal to shake hands with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and one of the Beatles. Then I could die a happy man. biggrin

David Johansen was on NPR's Fresh Air today.
I hardly know anything about them and yet have become an info stalker on your behalf.
Happy to do it my dear. biggrin biggrin biggrin

Well here's the scoop, I got up early today at 6:30 so I could get in line to purchase the latest NY Dolls CD. I had to buy the CD in order to get a wrist band for the signing on Friday. So anyway, My bf and I arrive at around 9:00 am and there was literally 5 people in line. The website said the...

williamj:
im glad you got your wristbands biggrin

i need to take my mom to see pirates. i had to be a nerd and go see the first show at 12am on the day it came out.
i had to drag myself back to work. it sucked. i wish i was on vacation again.
aponia:
How hot is it there? Is your part of CA under a heatwave?

I hate the summer. If I could avoid being outside for any length of time I'm happy. Although, after walking across the city in the heat, everyday I get to work I'm a sweaty mess. Ick.

I didn't see Lady in the Water because of the reviews too. Which is a shame, because I had been looking forward to it.

We only got married this past Valentine's Day, so the husband thing is still relatively new. We went to Vegas and got married by Elvis, the only proper way to do it.

Congratulations on the wrist bands! And he does yoga...hmm...that could explain why he's so insanely thin and toned.

A BIG thanks to williamj and sailormae for NY Dolls info. First off Willamj reminded me that the new record will be released tomorrow which lead me to search for...you guessed it...cd signings! And guess what, they are signing cd's on Friday at Tower Records in Hollywood! My bf is taking me tomorrow to get the CD's and they will be giving out wristbands to...

the henry rollins show is on the Independent Film Channel. that channel is the only reason i have a satellite instead of cable.

while i was sitting in the airport i got the new issue of blender magazine with owen wilson on the cover and it had a interview with David Johansen in it.

i go alot of places by myself. i have to just get away from everything every once in awhile.
i have alot better pictures on my memory cards but im saving them for last. i think i have about 400 pics from just the Neon Bonyard that i have to go through. im just being lazy right now and posting the little snapshots i took while wandering around.
aponia:
There's an interview with Johansen in the newest issue of Bust. The man has gotten creepy with age. Wasn't even heavier for awhile? Now he's all thin and anorexic looking. But then, that seems to be the "look" in rock circles these days.

Good luck!

I'm in Aww of this movie! I watched it this past weekend and it totally touched me. I'm one of those people who are reluctant to watch too much stuff about my hereos for fear of them not adding up but my love for the NY DOLLS totally grew 10X 'cuz of this flick. If you don't give a crap about watching something about a...

I just heard that NY Dolls will be on Henry Rollins this Thursday (I think).

Check you local listings.
ckdexterhaven:
Oh, I'm completely the same way. Breakfest is usually a carb-fest for me. I guess tt's sorta like choosing between the lesser of two evils: Fat and Cholesterol or Sugar/Carbs. I'll go with sugar 99% of the time. Ice Cream? Now you're talking. biggrin

I went to see 'Nacho Libre' yesterday...it is SO funny! I guess it is aimed towards kids and it is tamed down a bit but still I loved it! I still haven't gone to see 'Strangers With Candy' yet, mostly because the closest theatre that is showing it is in Pasadena and that's like 30 minutes away and I can't justify spending money on gas...

Oh man I want to see Strangers w/ Candy so bad.

I was in San Luis Obispo last week and it was playing there....buuut, I didn't get a chance to see it.

I wish I could because its not playing anywhere near here.

Color me crazy, but I think Amy Sedaris is kind of foxy. Not at all on the show....buuut, yeah.

Cheep Cheep

You're username is a reference to that Salinger book right? That's one of my favorites by him, I actually like it better than Catcher. Oh, and I totally love your taste in music. biggrin

williamj reminded me that I didn't post how my B-day party went. I had a get together at my bf's grandma's house. His brother in law made ceviche for me, it's seafood with onions, cilantro and other good stuff and you can eat it on tostadas or with tortilla chips. Also we had pozole (soup with hominy and pork) and pizza. It was mostly my...
