Danny O Flannagin Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Went to see Tim Hecker at the Gray Area in San francisco but right at the door i was told that it was a 21 and over event. Really bummed out especially because it didn't say anywhere that it was 21 and over. This is the stuff of nightmares. Going to be 21 next year so i'll be glad to not have to deal with that shit anymore. Basically, fuck you Gray Area. The show did sell out, any WATMMers go to it?

Alcofribas Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Re: sitting in the car is against the law Ive been handcuffed, harassed then had my car illegally searched because of this, so yes its real. People and cops be mad crazy one time I was sleeping in my car (long story) and I woke up to two cops with their guns pointed at me yelling at me to show my hands. this was in the winter and I was in like 3 sleeping bags...I'll never forget the anxiety as I struggled to unwrap myself from the sleeping bags that maybe they would get jumpy and shoot me. bastards.

I was trying to make the transition back to chicago after spending my teenage years in a wealthy suburb with my mom but various complexities and missed opportunities left me without a place to stay for a month or so. nearly all of my friends had at that point left town for college and I felt too embarrassed or proud or something to approach anyone's parents so I just ended up living in a Pontiac. plus growing up lower class with a single mom in a wealthy suburb where everyone lives in mansions and no one gets divorced definitely alienated me from most people's families, either through my own insecurities or outright judgement on their part. I was, however, really close with a friend's family and I ended up living with them for a few weeks after they found out. but when I lived in my car it was the dead of winter so I'd often spend the evenings getting scattered sleep where I'd wake up and my windows would be frozen and i thought I was going to die so I'd often go to Denny's and just drink coffee until I could go hang with some one and catch a few zzzzs. the cops accosted me a couple times bc evidently it's illegal to sleep in your car but only once were guns involved. I'll never forget that peculiar feeling of driving around trying to find the perfect recondite spot to park my car and then bundling up in like 20 layers just like "fml." not recommended.

fenton Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 i have started thinking everyone around me is the police, despite having not done anything wrong or having anyone around me the only way out is to arrest myself. brb arresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show did sell out, any WATMMers go to it? fuck that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But why? I went to one of his concerts like 2 years ago (when I was 18 I guess) Its basically drinking age. If you make a show 21+ you don't need to pay for security to check on underage people drinking. The venue also had to cut its occupancy in half from the fire department so a part of me thinks they might've over sold too many tickets so they made it 21+ at the last second to keep the numbers down. Anyways, how was his set? What gear did he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, how was his set? What gear did he have? well too bad. It was really loud as you might expect. At that time Virgins didn't existed yet, but he played the intro part of Virginal II, Ghost Writer I and most of Ravedeath. I saw mostly midi controllers and a little mixer, I guess. The only thing he took with him when the set was over was his laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasondonervan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 UPS are morons. I'm impatient with deliveries at the best of times, but It would be nice if just for once they could turn up sometime before 5pm, riding their luck on the timeless excuse of 'delivered before the end of the day'. It doesn't help that it's my Oculus Rift that's turning up either *folds arms, stamps foot* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Decided to check up on some stuff at my parents place, and while I was there had a quick gander at my small vinyl collection which I'm storing in the attic for the time being. At some point, prolly my dad, someone had put them on their side. Underneath a box. Now a few records have a definite bend to them. Thankfully, the most severe ones are records I'm not desperately bothered about--Melvins' 'Ozma' was never high on my appreciatation meter--but some are slightly wonky which happen to be ones I'm most fond of, like YMO's double red disc After Service or Technodelic, look not so flat any more. Obviously, compared to people in other people having their entire houses bombed to shit, this is trivial. But still, somewhat saddening. Hoping they go back to normal now that they're being stored upright again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenton Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'd put them on their side, underneath something heavy that is flat so they are kept flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
