did anybody else notice nkotb's revealing typo?

true story - *sigh*.
on the other hand, would be neat to walk around introducing your bride-to-be as "hi, have you met my finance?" :eek:

It certainly hadn't been open very long - the carpeting was still full of genie's and magic carpets…
They practically gave us a panorama suite because the hotel was empty. The restaurants weren't open and there was really only one lounge, but they had hot chicks in costumes (like french maids and dirty nurses) dancing on blocks which was entertaining for a while. The book was tiny and makeshift, but no lines made for easy betting, and I hit a couple of baseball parlays there so I have fond memories. It's also connected to the Miracle Mile mall with Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse in it which is perfect for a bunch of guys. I highly recommend it. And say hi to the ladies in the Bettie Page store - I eat that baby doll thing up…

So seriously…this guy is gay, right? Doesn't Craig know that 99 times out of 100, if you think someone is gay, they are?

It was pretty brutal. He was laying on denials pretty thick, and not very convincingly so.
The worst part (which I didn't know pre-interview), was that he didn't tell his lawyer, family or wife for 2 months. Oof.

It was hard to watch. I bet he was followed in the bathroom because he winked at the cop or made some serious eye contact.

Say hi :)

I thought British Sea Power were outstanding last night. No foliage, taxidermy, or martial wardrobe, but musically they were just "on" (for lack of a better word). The new stuff sounded really good.

Hey, I just realized that it should be possible to see both Stars at the 9:30 Club and Middle Distance Runner at the Black Cat. Stars is an early show and should be over by 10:30 at the latest. I'd guestimate MDR will hit the BC mainstage around 11:00, no?

3 bands at the BC on Friday/Saturday has set times of 9:30/10:30/11:30
British Sea Power came on at 11:45 pm last night (3 bands in the bill). So yeah, you can make it to the BC before they go on stage… :)

I concur.
I was quite pleased with the show.
