Aren't you Art Dudley?

Good picks, Vicki.

Are you down there on that corner Chris?

Another fucking union is striking the fucking Hyatt hotel across the street from my office. Even 22 floors up their cunty chants are grinding my nerves to a nub. I am a union supporter in general but these assholes are on some corner with their bullhorns, drums, and pots and pans fucking with my brain every week. In order to prevent running them all down with my car, I am listening to this, louder than usual: Built to Spill -- Keep It Like a Secret

Not even "rubbery"? I thought that was your favorite one.

Failing to resolve effectively any top end seems to be a failure of resolution.

JP said that on the 3A setup he was able to knock down the bass 6dB or something and the JH16 sounded like the JH13 to him. I cannot imagine that they would not want to apply the full value of the JH16 you and Colin won to the JH-3A/JH16 combo.

Steve is right, they sucked. Mids and bass were warm and plentiful, but there was no top end and the overall sound was syrupy. Can't say that they were Grado like and also would not agree they were HD650-like. Stick with suck, that is easier.

Both are close, but not quite right. Of course, you are puman and puman makes mistakes.

Ain't that the truth. My 12-year-old son asked if the TNP was really for him, and he likes to recite the ingredient ratios to my favorite cocktails, too. I think I may have a problem on my hands. And if you need to come out of the closet or get anything else off your chest, just look around and you'll find the right thread.

I actually think that Ed sent that Squirrel Suicide Squad to taunt Reks. Ed controls the rodents, don't you know.

Win!

It was Sonny, I swear it!

That is one sweaty godfather kiss.

Here are a couple of my few random pics from the CJ weekend: We tried to include Stretch at Three Floyds after he posted the saddest of all pics. I saw a great bumper sticker among the many on the walls there. Gene with provisions for the trip back to the hotel. Vicki talking to one of the missing Travel Team members while we were at Giordano's having deep dish pizza. My once cool pocket camera is basically dead so I gave up on it early on. Plus, I was in no condition to take pics most of the time. I actually fear Peter posting his pics.

Where I am from, if you are moonin' my ass, we would call that pantsing. Nobody wants that to happen, but you can moon me if it will make you happy. Then again, two of my closest gay friends are married and adopted a baby girl recently. Two dads can be better than one! But no boobies. They're both too fit even for the man variety.

In my case, I really hope not.

Shelly was right, the Vikings are to blame! Spritzer bought the giant bottle of Stoly. Spritzer told me that we had to finish the bottle that night. Spritzer handed me the cranberry [stomache lurch] juice and Stoly bottle to carry out of the room when security came. Spritzer . . . Well, I guess I did the drinking part myself. Might have been better if he remembered putting me there before the security guard found me, but what the hell. Classic indeed.

I have not been picked up in a long time -- either literally or figuratively -- but Spritzer picked me up and carried me into an elevator and Duggeh kissed me on the cheek twice (second time I asked for it) all in one weekend. And John, you are no longer a nobody here at all. You were a good guy on HC before CJ and now you are one of the crew. Sign up for an out of town meet and join the Travel Team. It is quite rewarding.

How could Steve possibly be mad at you!? Thanks for sharing and being honest and willing to jump into the fray. I always wondered how your "partner" turned into "husband" so quickly without any wedding fanfare. And seeing as we are being honest, I thought at first he might be a she and you were stuck with how to deal with that issue in an online forum with a bunch of people you mostly didn't know. I guess I was mostly wrong and a little right at the same time. But as I got to know you better, I decided that he really was a he and just put it to one side because I didn't think you would keep up that premise if it weren't true. Congrats on finding someone you love. And thanks again for hunting me down with Gene on Saturday. You are a true friend and a hell of a partier, gay, straight or both.

Seems like someone in San Francisco ought to post a response quickly, so thank you for feeling able to write that here, Steve. I too am amazed at how our little community has grown and diversified. It was great fun meeting you this weekend and I hope to see your gay ass again soon. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean.

Hope that means you're almost home, JP. That is a hell of a drive, although Young Min and Adrian top the list of the insane who drove. 15-16 hours is hell, and they were only in the hotel 20 hours or something. I just realized that I am drinking some energy drink that is almost the same color. Flashbacks are a bitch.
