Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

Well it's New Years. Anyone fancy a pub crawl?

Mark did you make it to the pubs? The hubby and I are crawling out of bed now.

I hope you all made it out and in safely! Happy New Year.

Yeah I got too fidgety and went out, hit a couple places in Belltown. Tried to go to the Rebar (it was supposed to be DJ's spinning punk rock) but when I got there the sign on the door said a performance was in progress (looked like drag queen from what I could see through the window) and to "come back at 10:30 to dance". So I walked to Belltown instead.

Hope you aren't too hungover, Sarah. New Order were going to call their last album "Fear of A Hangover" before they decided on "Get Ready". I wish they had stuck with the first idea!

I'm up, not too hungover. Happy New Year everybody!

I've been sick all week with the flu. I stayed in and read a good book. Happy New year to one and all. Bonnee.

Happy new year to you all. The odds of getting a babysitter on new years are zero. Hence the fact I could not take up any of the offers on this board. (Thanks for the invite H.) Friends brought their kids over and we fed them as much bad food as they could take and watched them buzz about till about three hours after their normal bedtimes. They went home about ten thirty and I went to a party on my own at a neighbours house. I drank too much cheap champagne and paid the price this morning.

I went skiing at The Summit instead of partying. I passed out at 11:30 PM as normal. Except this time from fatigue instead of inebraition. New Year's is bollocks. Since the earth is round and the sun is round and the orbit is round, New Year's Day could be theoretically occur at any moment in the year.

Sorry to hear you've been sick, McC, that sucks. One of my clients has been sick all week, fever and such. Friday I and a consulting nurse managed to persuade him to take a bus down to the hospital. Some thought he might not have been as sick as he claimed, but he's a nice guy, fairly honest and responsible, so I'm glad we got him to go.

Sloth you are so right, could be any day of the year. New Years is a weird holiday, in the sense that I'm sure there are loads of people who never even taste alcohol until that particular night of the year. It's almost anti-climactic for those that are more experienced in the art of partying.
I had an okay time, though, one of the bars I went to (right across from the Moore) was playing old Killing Joke which I like a lot, and there was stuff on the T.V. about the history of Playboy. Could have been worse.

Mav & Tommy - I had a really great time at the get-together Monday. Thanks for inviting me/being there.

H. thanks for the invite as well, although by the tone of your post, it was impossible to believe you truly wanted guests...which is why I was reluctant. I'm glad to hear you had a good partying time regardless.

Yeah, H. and her dry sense of humor and unflinching grasp of reality. I believed that she did want guests, but that she was just saying what others never say..."Come over, have a good time, but don't get in the way of my good time."

Anyway, thanks to Mark and Tommy for getting the day of my get together right and helping me enjoy it, and as for Mc, I'm glad you didn't come and give all my guests your flu. Sloth, I feel I owe you a pint or two, so next time we're at a pub, I'll pay up.

Yes Mav, it was truly as I described. We were sluggish and boring but found our good time anyway. We had a few visitors, though not anyone from here. Very anticlimactic, yet perfect. Took the girl and her friend (I agreed to babysit so my friend could get engaged to watch the inevitable suck blow up of the space needle.
My favorite moment was watching the couple in front of us flinch every time I shouted " NOT TOWARD PEOPLE! TOWARD THE STREET!!!" as the girls pulled the cords on those little popper things they sell at the q effin c. I even took a picture of it, mid-flinch.
All in all, it was worth it, if not to prepare me for the bullshit fed to me in the following days.
Cheers, I tip my hat and hope we all appreciate what we've learned so far and what will come to us in this next year.
Oh, and my dirty thirty is coming up on the 19th. I look forward to it.

Oh I get it now, q effin' c. Quality Fuckin' Centers. HA HA HA HA! That's good.

Sloth, I seriously think I'm going to need your help getting my own website up. Nothing fancy, I don't think I'll even need pictures. I'm just realizing that the only way I'll be able to continue my addiction to UK late 70's/early 80's music is to trade with people. Right now I'm only trading with one guy and I'm wondering just how much longer I will be able to take advantage of his generosity. He absolutely amazes me, he seems to have just about everything (not only the UK but everywhere else too), it's hard to find things he will want, and I'm just about out of ideas. I'm alarmed to find that two LP's I might want to buy are in fact, not even AVAILABLE to buy! I mean, it's a big race...all the good LP's and 7"es are selling out or sold out of their limited pressings. It's no longer a matter of trying to avoid debt on my part - I have to trade with people or I simply won't GET stuff. Back in the day I might have just advertised in NME but...I just don't think that's going to cut it now.

So maybe in the summer when I have time, I can put up my own site. I have no doubt that if I did this, people would come to me who could help. That movie Field Of Dreams comes to mind..."If you build it, they will come"...

For those in Seattle, for atheist's sakes, BUNDLE UP! It's ridiculously cold tonight, eh? I got in my car, which I admit I don't drive much, to find that the ice was on the INSIDE of the windshield (windscreen)! I can't recall that ever happening before, even when I lived in a place that had snow every winter.

h. birthday at the i hop again?
