W00T! This one's for the Thundersluts!

Oh my Gawd, this is such an honor!

And oh sh*t, I almost forgot! Ufez! You RAWK!
*raises her Mint Julep to Ufez*

And oh sh*t, I almost forgot! Ufez! You RAWK!
*raises her Mint Julep to Ufez*

Y'all crack me up -- thanks, boys. :D : raises bloody mary, toasts :

anyone want any sexual favours?

It's not fair! My horse broke his leg or something!

Looks like you guys had a great time! Fun fun!

Ha! Ha! I could so easily imagine - and so deeply regret not - being there! Thanks for the messages - the subliminal ones too.

Truly great fun, you boozers!

*raises his glass of Guinness to Jon, Sam and Chico*

Migs, the cocktail bar we finished of the evening in would've rocked your world.

Also, we do realize we forgpt some people on the napkins. Please be aware that at that point we were having difficulty remebering our own names. Rest assured you were spoken of (well slurred of) well.

anyone want any sexual favours?
not that I wouldn't make that offer, but I wouldn't make it in British english.... We have a gremlin.

I'm movin' to New York†!

†No, not really. But I want to, damn it.

That looked way fun. Actually, it looked like a bit too much fun.

server error. server error. server error.

I picked the Place and Show. Do I get any favors for that?

You do. You just don't get first pick on who you get them from.

Miguel, you were on our conversation most of the evening, especially once we got to the lounge. It was lovely. (Although logging in this morning and seeing my drubken mug writ large across the front page is a bit... much.)

And I'm kind of surprised that our handwriting was legible enough to be read. (Those napkins were a bit wet when we wrote on 'em. Still, we persisted, because -- well, the love was a-flowin'. Y'all know how it goes.)

And J-po, ufez, I'm SO taking your picks for the Preakness to the OTB. (I figure, if the clown killer can bring the speed, don't let it be said I disagreed.)

Did I get a shout-out on napkin #3? I can't read it. Something tells me I wouldn't have been able to read it in person, either.

I skipped the record fair this time around. I was too wino-rich with my last purchases. I had to refinance my mortgage when I got to the Hyped 2 Death booth.

Drunks! You're all a bunch of drunks!

Did I mention that I was going to be in New York in May? No dates yet, but soon, my drunk monkeys, soon....

Yay! I can't wait to meet readymade! Can we call you Queebie? ;)

yup you were the first one, and ditto on meeting readymade...

Can we call you Queebie?

I just cancelled my trip.

Just kidding! I think I'll be there around the 18th, but I'm not sure yet. I can't wait to meet me some monkeys!

Why have so many of you pooled up in the New York area--y'all should spread it around a little for the rest of us, dammit!

That looked like a gloriously debaucherous time. I'm so jealous.

Thanks for the sopping napkin shout-out!

What does the napkin in the pic at the top of this thread say? Is that my name?

oop -- I think we inadvertently left you off the napkin, J-Po. (Here's a closeup, and there were other napkins as well.) No offense meant -- we were trying to remember all the monkeys, and barely succeeding in remembering our own names. But much drubken love was expressed to all monkeys, including the ones not specifically mentioned.

Tawk amongst ya'selves ... I'll give you a topic:
Chicobangs has neither Chico nor Bangs.
Discuss.

perhaps, but I'm a man, so hence that picture is entitled Chico & The Man.

'sright, Jon, mang. Joo tell he!

Besides, I might be light on Bangs, but there was so much Chico in the room (the attitude, not my Jabbaesque body mass), that the people at the next table had to move. (Though that might have been us being moist and garrulous. So?)

And whatnot, don't be discouraged; the man, he ain't so hard to understand.

"moist and garrulous" would be a most excellent name for a blog. Or an album title. (Not a band, because people'd think it was a duo, like a sweatier version of Ferrante & Teicher.)

PS - I just got back from the record fair. It was stellar. I'm thinking of going back and blowing the rest of my allowance. Does anybody need anything?

(I got a couple of the Skynyrd pens. They're as lurid as you'd hope.)

no offense taken, of course. i just couldn't tell what it said.

so isn't I-ball-keed coming to NYC next month? I declare a mini-meetup.

I'm actually going to be there the first week of June. 4-8th, I believe.

*wonders what one has to do to get a napkin shout-out ;)*

You can have any number of sober napkin shoutouts. Drubk ones, on the other hand, are pretty much luck of the draw. ;-)

Wow, jon, that photo just made my day...

yes, meetup. that must happen.

But all the out of towners will have their flights booked through these guys...

Those pictures are great!

The answer is obvious. We must have mutiple meetups while each of our monkey friends are in town.

What about these guys?

But much drubken love was expressed to all monkeys, including the ones not specifically mentioned.

Yeah, right!

*sulks*

The answer is obvious. We must have mutiple meetups while each of our monkey friends are in town.

Close. I think it's even more obvious that we must have multiple naked meetups while each of our monkey friends are in town.

I could have sworn that I wrote "multiple naked sweaty orgy meetups" but for some reason it didn't show up that way.

"Multiple naked sweaty" is assumed in all comments.

9622.net:"Multiple naked sweaty" is assumed in all comments.

Oooh yeah.

Y'know, I love this site, but if there's one thing I'd change about it, it would be more sex among its members. I mean, except for (I assume) adam and aw, are any of us gettin' it on with each other?

Well, now that you mention it...

I did have sex with the pastrami sandwich jon posted.

Twice.

thanks fer the shout out. damn, I need to get out of this state.

Tizzie, don't you dare spill the--oh, pastrami sandwich. Right.

And here I am thinkin' they tangy zip was from Miracle Whip...

are any of us gettin' it on with each other?

Does getting it on with yourself count?

Otherwise only in my dreams. And even there, I usually get turned down.

Once again, I'm totally denied any getting-it-on opportunities by geographical considerations. That is, unless both Kaibutsu and I both switch teams and start getting it on with each other, which seems remote in light of the facts that (a) I've known since I was kid that I liked girls, (b) I can't even get him to let me take him out to lunch.

*memo to self: move to NYC. Then turn on the charm, Fessy my boy!

*looks across Atalantic, crosses arms, pouts*

Hmph.

*starts plotting to lure Migs, Schweppes Girl, & CQ to the Eternal City*

That is, unless both Kaibutsu and I both switch teams and start getting it on with each other...

I think you both could "take one for the team", don't you?

I'm going to try all the other options first, just to be thorough.

I wanna watch fes and kaibutsu take one for the team.

Gotta play football for the coach.

*starts plotting to lure Migs, Schweppes Girl, & CQ to the Eternal City*

A foursome in Rome? Make sure you post the pictures.

Oh yes. If you can't send plane fare, then pictures are required.

And Fes, you hold out as long as you can, and the NYC posse'll leave the light on for you.

(Shit. This world just ain't small enough, is it?)

(Hey jon, Vidiot, here's the lost watering hole from Friday night. PS'd by request, because I actually got up early this morning for once.)

The Hairy Monkey! Oh, nirvana. I can only dream of such places.

Oh, alright, here's another view of the place. Still, the possibilities of the place beckoned to us like some kind of special simian shangri-la, or something.

Also, as has been noted before, the blurriness of the photo was not contrived. That's how it looked to us at that hour.

Oh, duh. I'm provincial and gullible!

Golly gee, when can I come t' visit y'all in the Big City!?!

For you, sweetheart, the city is always open. And the one thing we cityfolk can guarantee is a good time.

Thanks for sharing that with us guyz, your drubk tour looked more than just fun.

At the last WFMU record fair (this winter?) I found an ultra-rare 808 State DJ promo whitelabel (Pacific 212 - 6 edits, 3 of which I had never heard of) and although I know I overpaid, I'm happy I did :)

Good find, gen. Grrrr. ;)

When will someone start the "best find at the record fair/second-hand shop" thread we've all been waiting for?

I paid $27 for a used CD single once. Used. Single. But I really wanted this one mix of Lightning Man by Nitzer Ebb.

It also was one of those cute small CDs.

And if you ever get tired of it, witchy, you could probably sell it back to the band for what you paid for it.

I've managed to find and buy back almost the entire print run of my first CD, Whitman Mayo's Grandnephew Sings The Songs of Diane Warren. Damn thing shipped platinum in '93.

I'm pretty much broke. But the world is a better place, trust me.

I paid $40 for a used album once. A vinyl original of this gem. Worth every penny. If I ever find a copy of The Detroit-Memphis Experiment, the aforementioned Mitch Ryder's collaboration with Booker T & The MG's, I'd pay about the same.

Most of my truly rare stuff is on mp3, cause in the end I'm more interested in the music itself, than the physical artifact. Stuff I got there is so rare, the people playing it haven't heard it.

I once paid 45$ for "metal box" by PiL because it came in a small round tin, rather than a normal jewel case.

It corroded to useless in about a year.

Oh god, please don't get me started on this topic. I've got a full nerd-on raging.

OK, best find in a thrift store? A German import of Desmond Dekker's Israelites for a quarter, mint condition.

At the now-defunct Rhino Records in Albany I got an original pressing of this Bonzo Dog Band record and and ultrarare pressing of 7 Seconds' "Walk Together, Rock Together."

Actually, Mr._sally and I have a number of rare punk/hardcore albums that we hope will serve as our nest egg when our 401Ks go tits up.

Um, also I have original copies of "Sticky Fingers" and "His Majesty's Satanic Request."

The most I ever paid for a record I didn't even really want to listen to was damn near $30 for a "Nudie Sings Country Favorites." I think it was a vanity pressing. I just wanted the accompanying picture book.

It's not a record but it's still an interesting find, what I'm about to tell you about. Roughly four years back, I was buying ciggarettes in a bodega on the stretch of North Avenue in Bridgeport where it goes from proletariat straight into lumpen. In a pile of wrapped magazines, I found the first issue of Easyriders, the famed "biker lifestyle" magazine. I brought it to the counter and the idiot clerk saw the "75¢" on the cover and that's what he charged me. No tattooed boob flashing or weapons brandishing. Remarkably tame by todays standards. It did feature an interview with a remakably young looking Elvin Bishop rhapsodizing about his new hog.

Elvin Bishop!

I paid $50 for a Dire Straits bootleg once. (Yes, I am a dork...but I loves the Knopfler.)

I don't really have much rare music -- just a hell of a lot of it. (though I'm sure my collection is humbled in the face of Jon's.)

I think the thrift-store music purchase that has given me the most joy was a reeeeeeally bad Euro-techno cover of the Connells' "'74-'75" (diva voice, around 125 bpm) that I found in a pound store in Dublin.

over 800 cds here. probably a drop in the pool of the collections of other monkeys here.

Wow, Vidiot, I love Dire Straits too, but for $50 I would really expect them to come over to my house and detail my car.

Witchstone, my cd collection could fit in your cd collection's left shoe. Thank gawd for a good public radio station!

Roughly 1000 CD's, 20 Box Sets, about 450 LP's, maybe 50 45's, 400+ albums on cassette(including dubs & mixes) and 5500 mp3's.

I should actually count it. But those numbers are about right.

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
