Anybody free tomorrow night?

I might...MIGHT have tickets to KMFDM at the Metro tomorrow night.

Anybody wanna go?

IIRC, most of the Chicago-area Hatrackers are "old" and relatively set in their ways. [Smile]

This isn't to say that we wouldn't enjoy seeing a KMFDM show, but that we'd probably need more than a day's notice to line up a babysitter.

Don't they usually have child-care service at these events?

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

pH, Phil and I are planning a trip to Chicago within the next 6 months. Count us in on a show. We're not old and set in our ways. [Razz]

Yeah. They throw in a Boobah tattoo for free, too.

Ha! If we had six months to arrange a show, we could probably manage to go to one, too! [Razz]

I'm thinking you could probably get Xavier and Valentine to babysit so you could go out...

I hope it's the iron-on kind. I don't like to think of people permanently tattooing little children!

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

Val, definitely let me know! If I'm still here. [Frown]

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

We didn't want to go to Chicago in one of the cold months, because then I wouldn't get anyone to meet up with us. I'm sure Tom and Christy wouldn't want to bring Sophie on a long drive in the snow. When are you leaving?

And yes, Xavier and I would make excellent babysitters (you would bring that lullaby tape, right Tom?)

I don't mean to hijack your thread, ...but I guess I am. [Smile]

I'm going to be in Chicago this weekend (Sun-Tues). Anybody want to get together for lunch or dinner or something?

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I'll get lunch with you, Miro!

As for when I'm leaving...I don't know. I'm desperately trying to stay, but since I don't have transcripts, it looks like I'll have to leave come mid-December and head back to New Orleans in January. [Frown]

Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :

Yeah, but when you come back to New Orleans I'll hang out with you (when I come to NO).

IMO, ironing on a tattoo sounds just as permanent as the needle way, with the added advantage of being extra-super-bonus abusive. [Eek!]

Hey pH, I just sent an email to the address in your profile.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

Miro: Try yourprecious at gmail. It's easier to access than my loyno account right now.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

Done.

[old fogey voice] KMFDM??? {/old fogey voice]

Seriously, though, weeknights aren't good for me 'cause of the little ones. This weekend might work out, though. I don't believe we have anything planned for Sunday beyond the typical housework.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

How does Sunday afternoon work for people?

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Let me see if I can con the grandparental types into watching my kids for the afternoon. Mom was hinting that she's going through withdrawal from not having seen them in <gasp> two weeks...

I could probably bring them if it doesn't work, but I'd rather not have to be Mom and Goody at the same time, kwim? [Smile]

Posted by kmbboots (Member # 8576) on :

I'm an old fogey. Never heard of KMFDM. But I'm more than happy to babysit. This would be tonight, Wednesday?

BTW - pH, did you and your roommate get all the clothes, etc. that you need? I still have stuff.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I ended up not being able to get tickets because the friend who was setting this up for some reason thought the show was next week.

Ah, well.

As for clothes...I THINK we'll be okay. I'm not sure. I'll definitely let you know.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

So are we still getting together tomorrow? I just sent both you guys (pH and Goody) emails.

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Got and replied to the email. I've got to bow out, I'm sick and don't want to spread it. Sorry!

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

I'll email you shortly with my cell number. It's iffy whether or not I'll be able to make it. I have to meet with someone tomorrow to set up band interviews for podcasts. Go go publicity!
