RAWK!

Now if'n I didn't have this dadblame ankle bracelet that starts beeping whenever I get too far from my edit bay...

Aw, bite that sucker off. We are not meant to be shackled to our work so! Freedom is ours to take, if only we dare imagine it! (He said, from work.)

But I can vouch for that the Tiz is, in fact, real and lovely and, dare I say, stoked for the weekend. And she's here! Woo hoo!

(Better shots of the monkeybrushies, and the local chapter of freaks who'll use them, will follow shortly.)

*remembers that he was born in West Virginia, refrains from making Kentucky toothbrush-related joke*

Will teh tiz be joining us at Waverly for greasy breakfast consumables on Sat.?

You're at chico's?

That's only two subway stops from me! Call or e-mail and we'll grab a beer!

Naturally one shall be at one's beach cottage friday through sunday but one would be thrilled to buy Ms Tizzie an intoxicant thereafter (or therebefore).

This here laptop is about the most unfamiliar thang I've seen so far... except for when the guy next to Cowboy Sally on the subway tipped over on her. That doesn't happen too much round Kentucky way!

These city folks sure are nice!

Aaach!

Gmails been in and out all afternoon and when I dial the number I was given for tizzie, I get recorded messages no matter which way I dial it. One of youse who knows my number call me and tell me what's going down tonite.

Whenever two or more are gathered in my name, I, too am there.

I expect tizzie to use the word "dude" when referring to someone at least once, out of respect for the missing west coast contingent.

Have fun, y'all!

I just got passed around like a two-bit whore with these people. In the score of 13 minutes, I spoke briefly with dana, tizzie, chico, vidiot, jonmc, and some guy named N.

I'm sore and sticky and couldn't be happier. Well, I could, but it would involve a galapagos tortoise and some astroglide.

Regardless, rest assured, they're having more fun than you or I. Bastids.

They're still out? I only read my email about this at 9.30pm, meaning I could only get to Long Island City by around 10.30pm, by which time I was sure all the hardworking city monkeys and their visiting country cousin would be heading home. For this feeble underestimation alone, I realize I don't deserve to drink with y'all.

9:30, she scoffed! It was closer to two, liam, when Chico was inflating my bed.

Metaphor? perhaps....

Actually Chico and Dana were the most excellent host and hostess I could ever imagine yesterday. We even went down to the Hudson River and saw tall buildings at night> The Homeland Security Park Ranger guys made me feel soooo safe, especailly when they let us do that little stiff-kneed march with them.

Then Vidiot, Jonmc, and Pips joined us at another, other, place for more fun - where we passed around Ufez in the tawdry way described *above* Even UncleFes was the victim of PUI (phoning while...)

A grand time was had by me!

Chico inflated that bed for K and I when we stayed up there after punk rock karaoke. He is a very efficient inflator of beds.

I'm offa werk at 6, can prolly be in the city at 7:30ish. K can (and should) meet up with youz earlier, though.

Aw Tiz, thanks for the compliments. (Technically it was the East River we walked down to, not the Hudson, but we'll let that slide.)

Yesterday was fun. Let's hope the monsoons don't begin until next week.

Boogers! I seethe with jealousy! But thanks for the call :) Sorry I was so dense at first, Tizzie's yelling into the phone "It's Tizzie, dammit!" and I'm thinking she's saying shw wants to talk to "Susie," who I definitely ain't, and I keep patiently repeating "I think you have the wrong number, ma'am."

Whilst you were out painting NYC a new shade of pink, I was attending a rather half-hearted laser show with the Beast Rabban - his first! Quote of the evening: my 50ish neighbor leans over and says to me sotto voce: "You know, this would be a lot better if we had some acid."

More pictures! And treat her right, Monkeys, or when I *finally* get back to NYC I will be forced to clunk all your heads together in Moe-like fashion.

Aw, hell, Adam, Fes is serious. Bummer.

Put the cat o'nine tails away and uncuff her. I guess we're bowling this weekend after all.

Also:

9622: Boogers! I Seethe with jealousy!

yay for bowling!

And treat her right, Monkeys...

Put the cat o'nine tails away and uncuff her. I guess we're bowling this weekend after all.

*blinks*

Methinks while scrubbing layers of grease dating from sometime B.C. in the new flat I have accidentally inhaled too many cleaning fumes.

Bowling?!

/envious jesting

Damn, I'm jealous bowling in NY...get them X's. Are you gonna bowl beer frames?

bowling, really? why not just get all liquored up?

because they aren't mutually exclusive :)

of course tizzie goes to new york when i am safely in san diego.

but did i mention jpoulos came to see me in a bad play?

Witchstone sighting! Witchstone sighting!

Woman, I've been thinking of you. Hope all is well in acting-land! You are missed.

hey readymade! how's tricks?

Eep. I was so excited about witchstone, I forgot to admit my complete jealousy at drinkin' tizzie/NY-style.

I'm green, GREEN with envy. I guess I'll just have to drink all this sangria by myself to make up for it.

Tricks is tricky! Plus, you know, a baby.

Weird.

"To be in San Diego is nothing, but to be safely in San Diego" as goes an bad early draft of a play then referred to only as the "Southern Californian play".

In any case, so fair and foul a weekend I have not seen, so I'm hanging around Gotham and available for liquoring up and associated activities.

wait, are you allowed to have a baby and still post on 9622?

to be in san diego means...

that witchstone has a tan for the first time in about 15 years. well, when i say "tan" i mean that i'm sort of the the color of normal folk now.

I sneak in through a loophole left in the monkey penile code.

Or is it penal. I can never remember.

Have you become famous yet?

have i become famous yet? well, recently US Weekly speculated about my weight and In Touch linked me to the Paris Hilton/Nick Carter breakup. you do the math.

I KNEW that was you! I could see your handiwork all over that fat lip she was sportin.'

Good job!

Hi ya witchstone. Had wondered if you were still in sunny Sandi Diego. What play are you doing now?

I could see your handiwork all over that fat lip she was sportin.'

Witchstone's putting herself through school by selling botox to celebrities? God bless you, child.

one hour of work left. THEN I CAN LEAVE.

i'm so fucking bored

Hmph. 4 1/2 hours to go for me...

15 minutes and counting......

Just to add my voice to the 'jealous of bowling in NY' team... waaa!

Hey, you white-russian-swilling bowlers!

Hope your all having a good time. Sadly I spent the weekend in mild agony. Yesterday, I finally visited the doctor where I was diagnosed with acute gastritis aggravated by alcohol and diet. So after much valtrex, soma & mylanta, I'm starting to feel better.

Me and pips did have a wonderful time meeting the eminent ms. tizzie. So alla youse have a caucasian in my name.

Yikes Jon! feel better soon!

You're always welcome to come a bowlin' with us, towerbrave. And play hockey. And give this moran some good handiman tips, because I'm really not that good at this whole house thing.

and what about the monkey?

We just blew in from Bar B where I had a ginger martini. This si now my new favoritest thing ever! We have been alllll over town today - Chico and I even went to Prada, goddammit. Why? Because we could!

I *heart* NY, y'all.

And Hey there WITCHIE!

Thanks Adam -it may be some time before I have the cash and the lesure to get down there again, but feel free to email me for convaluted explanations of fixin' stuff.
And the Evil Scientists are at it again!

So how much longer is Tizzie in NYC? Is Lebowskibowl my last opportunity to meet her, as I may have trouble making it.

PS. There is a free blues show & bbq festival sunday afternoon on pier 54 on the Hudson River at 13th street.

Man, sounds like a blast. Knock back a Caucasian for me, will ya?

I am safely back in Kentucky, but what a trip it was! Chico, Vidiot, Dana, et al - you are welcome here ANYtime, my friends - especially for Lebowskifest in Louisville next summer!!

There are more stories to tell, there will be pictures, but for now let us just say -

9622.net: We went out and achieved anyway.
I *love* you guys.

Speaking for my fellow NYmonkeys:

The pleasure was all ours.

I'm glad you made it back in one piece, tizzie. You were a sublime pleasure to have as a houseguest, and the love is not only reciprocated but multiplied a thousandfold.

Here's a very quick and dirty gallery of some shots of the weekend. Explanations and what-have-you to come.

Wow. I guess I was spilled on quite a bit.

Sitting on a chair that was spilled on didn't help much, I guess.

damn. you mean i missed it all?

i am a very bad monkey.

You said it, brother, I didn't.

I'll annotate some of the pics tonight when I get home, but for stalking purposes, this picture shows:

Adampsyche, aw, tizzie, Walter Sobchak (sorry. Vidiot), krimur, guy in floppy hat who called us assholes for being so loud, Bari, and me.)

The guys with the trophy drove down from New Hampshire, and got the Hardest Traveled award. Tizzie would have won Farthest Traveled, but some Chinaman was there, like, from China.

Dude, that is not the preferred nomenclature.

And that bowling ball had been sanitized for my protection.

*weeps at missing most of the fun*

Also looking at my last comment, I realize that I meant to type Nexium, not valtrex. Damn commercials make all prescription drugs blur together.

Despite all the pain, I woulda loved some of that rice pudding. But, I'm going to have to moderate my lifestyle and find new ways to occupy my time.

So, I watched Da Ali G show for the first time last night. He's rather amusing.

Also looking at my last comment, I realize that I meant to type Nexium, not valtrex.

Well there's a load off all our minds. Pips', anyways.

I'd never admit to being doing resin.

The Freudian slip is free at no extra charge.

"Where is he? I'm sick of this shit! Is that him, over by the pinochle table?"
"Naw, he's up there, dangling from the chandelier by his own petard."
"Well, he looks comfortable up there, anyway."
"Yeah, Let him rest. He's had a hard weekend."

I'm sort of like Jesus!

Or a chalupa fart. Whichever.

Jesus, Chalupa, tomayto, tomahto.

It's just a shame that To Tell The Truth is off the air. Kitty Carlisle would soil her garters trying to figure out which of us you are.

How about it, Game Show Network?

Sorry I missed you Tizzie. I'm glad New York treated you well.

[Fuckwit too lazy to get own blog]
I'm listening to the upcoming Tom Waits album 'Real Gone' and I'm pleased to report that Waits hates America; there's an anti-Iraq war ballad in the form of a soldier's letter home. Another song, 'Clang Boom Steam', has the excellent couplet:

"Well, my baby's so fine
Even her car looks good from behind"

Otherwise lots of human beatboxing and stomping rhythms and Marc Ribot guitar. I like it.
[/fuckwit too lazy to get own blog]

That's "ant-Iraq war" ballad, not "anti-iraq" war ballad, but you knew that.

Is it streamed somewheres, friend Liam? Please to tell!

I don't think it's streaming yet. It's being released on October 3rd, but may well be streamed here before that.

And he's taking his traitorous ditties on the autobahn.

Jesus, Chalupa, tomayto, tomahto.

That reads like a Fibonacci Sequence for stoned religous studies majors. Genius, chico.

Great bowling pics...thanks for the shout out.

That's "ant-Iraq war"

religous studies majors

Someone's been fucking with our I's.

Liam, are you on the Raindogs listserv?

A US tour is imminent, and in the past, Tom's tour manager has gotten members primo seats.

Kaf, check your mail.

It was good to meet & re-meet up with all of y'all on Saturday. Sorry I couldn't hang around for the grand finale. I have fuzzy memories that I will always treasure, especially this highlight, from a little earlier in the evening:
Setting: The consession stand upstairs, I have just ordered my third (fourth?) white russian:
me: How many tickets is that again?
bartender: That'll be four tickets ba-b...
drunk guy: DO YOU HAVE ANY WHIPPETS?!?!
bartender: whippets???
drunk guy : Come on, you know you've got some whippets...
me (amused): well?? Do ya, or don't 'cha?
drunk guy: ah, fuck it (stumbles off)

Whip-Its maybe?

Good to see you again too, krimur. My apologies if I was less than coherent when we spoke -- I was, shall we say, limber.

Limber? Vidiot, my dear sweet friend, I think I saw you do a backbend and touch the floor.

Ladies, let me just say that it is a shame for all concerned (except the lucky Ms. B. herself) that Vidiot has been spoken for. Over and above his gymnastic abilities, he's just an amazingly good guy. The kind of guy that listens to the forecast and then brings along an umbrella for you; or insists that you get the good bite of the torta, the bite with the avocado in it. That kind of guy.

I'm just sayin', it's been weeks since Miguel has posted a baby animal picture on here.

Awwww. You flatter me so.

The check is in the mail.

*That* made me feel pretty slutty.

Anybody got a smoke?

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux.
