Pre-Ted Leo Soda Meet-Up

[Forrest]

I thought I'd try again to arrange a soda meet-up if anyone's interested, since I can imagine a few FOT are planning on attending this one. I'll probably get either a Ginger Ale or a Diet Dr. Pepper; haven't made my final decision yet. I know he's not with 3EB on this one, but it should be a pretty good show nonetheless.

Why don't you just bring some Tea's Tea with you and sip it on the great lawn whilst your ears sip on the sweet sounds of Teddy Songbird...

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I so wish I could go to this.  Last year's McCarren show was one of the best ever.

Eh. I'm more of a Surge man myself.

And you will be missed, Grote. I was hoping we could bro down like old times, but I know we will soon.

You're talking about the Battery Park show, right? I might be going- I'm not sure.

Apparently you have to get tickets at the show and tickets are available at 5pm. I get off work at 6pm and it'll take a half hour to get there. People who've been to these events, will I arrive to be told to go home?
 
I am guessing that I'm okay, but I am 0-100 in guessing the timing of musical events. I always arrive too early to shows and end up waiting and waiting, until I finally decide to arrive later, in which case it's already sold out.

You are shameless, emily.

[yesno]

You are shameless, emily.

Reminds me of this passage in the NY Times Magazine profile of Rush Limbaugh:

"Others use Limbaugh as their pitchman, which costs them a premium and a long-term commitment. And lately he has created a new option. At a much higher rate he will weave a product into his monologue (To a caller who said he took two showers after voting for Clinton in Operation Chaos, Limbaugh responded: “If you had followed my advice and gotten a Rinnai tankless water heater, you wouldn’t have needed to take two showers. And I’ll tell you why. . . .”)"

That's a really fascinating article, by the way.

Yeah, it's a good read. I was surprised the article referred to Rush's hearing problems yet didn't really mention the fact that he went deaf because of his pain killer addiction. 

And to all FOTs seeing Ted, have fun. I saw him before Pearl Jam last week and he was excellent.

See, now, this is why you are awesome (other than your music, which I also hear is pretty good - I only listen to Wyclef).  Man do I wish I could go.  Maybe I'll try to sneak off the reservation.

[Spoony]

I'm starting a job in Battery Park this week. I'm selling apples for a nickel to pay for all my hedge funds that have tanked.

I can scout out a soda-jerk locale. I swear on my britches to do a better job than the Jay Reatard fiasco.

TL, you are too good to us goons.

C!
