A borf sighting…my day is complete. Thanks. I'm up for a forum frolic on Fri. night…and maybe a quick walk - or slow crawl - over to VL for the Pharmacists too.

is this The Pharmacists as in "Ted Leo and The…?"

and don't mention it, I live to complete others' days. ;)

Sorry, I meant the Pharmacy Prophets…maybe we can tag a little on our way over. ;)

I'm planning to attend the Caligari/Phaser/Radio 4 show. :)

Who IS this Borf, anyway?

I've been wondering this for a while …

Cheers

DJ Medusa.

According to one story, he is this kid from suburban New Jersey who faked his suicide to escape from an unhappy family life, and has since travelled up and down the East Coast leaving his tag as a way of showing that he is still alive.

I'm going to get smacked for this one, but if I was a kid from suburban New Jersey … well *no wonder*! :p

Go Borf!

I'm more of a watcher than a doer. ;)

I've been meaning to see the Pharmacy Prophets for a while… they are heirs to long-lost DC band the Crippled Pilgrims.

I hear you're handy with a camera too…!

The lead guitarist for Pharmacy Prophets is channeling Stevie Ray Vaughn on a few songs…like their vocals/harmonies too!

Well if their lead guitarist is who I think it is, I used to worship him when I was a scrawny 15-year old geek just learning to play guitar :)

That is ONE awesome photo…it's beautiful even on my crappy little G4 screen…is it DC?

:) yeah, from about an hour ago. It's from my building's rooftop looking toward the Capitol. I posted a couple more here…

You live at 17th & P? Nice. Really nice.

interesting story… my friend lived in the group house at 1702 17th St. It was right there on the corner, across from CVS. The house is gorgeous, and the rent was like $400 for each of 4 roommates. Then, one day, a guy shows up at the door saying the house is for sale. He offers each roommate $5000 to shut up, sign away their right of first refusal, and move out. The housemates obviously didn't have a down payment for a $2M house, so they took the money. Quite the windfall, but now it's condos… so sad.

I'll be there, (of course I have to be there but…). It's going to be fun. Kung Fury with Chaz on guest vocals will be stellar.

Suki/Sayonoro, look forward to chit chatting with you again.

wish i could be there, but I'm off to LA to see The Sugarplatic, a band I haven't seen for Nine years :eek:

Perhaps there will even be a "Mr. White" sighting…a whirling, rockin', dancin' dood if ever there was one. Unfortunately, the VL dance floor is a little small. :roll:

Heh… that house your friend lived in used to have awesome parties. :p I would always go to them, although I never met the actual residents….
