stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My hardcore band was asked to play a show next month and the booking agent hasn't booked anyone else for the show yet. It's less than a month away.

 

He keeps asking me for suggestions for other bands, which I keep giving him, but no on has confirmed yet. I'm getting the explicit feeling that he somehow expects us to set up the show, which is annoying since he literally has access to hundreds of bands.

 

He doesn't want us to contact them directly, he wants to contact them. I can't hustle and get this shit done with my legs tied :catrage:

ffs.

Basically how we all feel.

 

 

is there any word on what actually got him in trouble?

It's retaliation from the Chinese - Canada arrested the CFO of Huawei for extradition to the US (they claim Huawei is violating sanctions on Iran) and so China retaliated by taking into custody a former diplomat and my friend.

holy f*, so basically he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...

this is oddly like the Bridge of Spies scenario....

Yes. A victim of China throwing a temper tantrum. They’re not used to not getting things their way.

Got my lovely Squee dub in the post. Only to find this waiting for me....fuck you very much Canada Post for leaving it in a frozen ass parcel collection box, where it had clearly been crushed by other parcels, and the cold I’m pretty sure caused it to warp...

Anyone with hints on straightening vinyl...?

^^^ warped vinyl.. i've heard a few things over the years. 

 

200 degrees oven for a few minutes then lay flat.. 

 

just lay flat w/o packaging and it'll straighten

 

put it between two turntable platters like a sandwich.. wait.  i think i read something about wax paper and an iron. 

 

but there's probably some kind professional way to do it.

there's a tiny USB dongle that goes with my mouse/keyboard combo and when i was packing up I thought 'hm, this little thing magnetically attaches to the mouse but it might get lost, i should put it somewhere safe so i don't lose it whilst moving literally everything i own' but i forgot what i did after i had that thought and it's definitely not attached to the mouse so now i don't know if i actually lost it (gone) or if it's just hidden somewhere i thought would be 'safe'

A couple of weeks ago my former intern saw a film I had done the music and sound design for and asked me what I had been paid for it. Now that’s one thing you don’t do. The. He went on to say that he was thinking about contacting the production company I do freelance work. What? Stay the fuck away from my clients. This has been bothering me for weeks now.

IMO at least he had the balls to spell out his intentions openly. It's not like client poaching isn't a thing that happens all the time...

 

 

Me: I have permanently dilated eustachian tubes (congenital), but lately I've also had an ear infection. I can taste and smell my own infected middle ear. It smells like cat shit. Smell is there constantly. I can now also infer what cat shit tastes like

I know, but it's still insanely tone deaf.

He might as well have texted me: "I'm considering taking a chunk out of your paycheck :D"

A man shouldn't let anyone humiliate him like that, you rather kill that cunt or at least make him regret. Next time you guys are alone you act all friendly, like "oh hi, how are you, how are your wife and kids" and then all of the sudden punch him in the face, break the bottle and press it on his neck and say: "if you ever interfere with my business again I'm not only gonna hurt YOU, I'm gonna hurt your wife and I'm gonna hurt your kids. Be smart and stay the fuck out of my territory"

 

etc

or you could take the civilized option...

 

offer to take him out for a meal to discuss "things we can't really open up about while @ work", then drug him (not full blown Skripal though), escort him to a local hotel room, rape him, take pics, post the pics (maybe here for the closet kinks), he takes his own life from shame

 

job done

Do both . Do the knifing / threatening bit for the rush , and do the drugging to dispose of the evidence

But what should squee do for the adaptation, and the general backwardness of the act?
