Is IWB having a stroke?

Anyone have any advice on things to do in Indianapolis? It's crazy how very little time I have ever spent here.

I dug the hell out of this place when we were in Indianapolis one January.

Is IWB having a stroke?

I wasn't until I remembered how awful resto Druids were to kill during wrath. Then total stroke.

/more jokes non gamers don't get

And it looked in context when I thought I'd quoted the peaches doesn't like Mondays team name.

So, yes, then.

I rented a car there once. It was at the airport. Have a blast with that.

Thanks! Sounds like something I'll very likely hit up. I wasn't sure if I was going to have a lot of money to play around with while I'm here, but rumroll: Our house finally sold!

That would be a silly thing to do.

Hello LA friends, after some help again... there's shuttles running from LAX to Coachella, for $70 return. I figure this will be my best option...? Also, camping opens the day before if I'm not mistaken? So I can get there on the Thursday?

Also... will it be easy enough to buy interstate flights when I'm over there? Or should I book before I leave in a few days' time?

Regarding "With Or Without You", what are the chances that song is a direct response to Harry Nilsson's "Without You''?

pffft, clearly is a nod to the beatles' within you without you

 

[Hewson]

Actually it was a response to:

Eddie Vedder - Without you (lyrics on screen) - YouTube

Edge travelled to the future, stopped off to play some punk rock on Venus, then came back and told Bongo they had to write a response to it.

Whoa, Spotify looks different today.

Lionel Richie and Cee-Lo are touring together?

What are the thoughts here on KISS?

I only know the singles, and they seem pretty derivative, but I dig the hell out of that little bass riff in "Detroit Rock City."

Even if you're not into auto racing, I think the Indianapolis 500 museum is well worth checking out. I mean, the city's not known for much else.

KISS sucks. With or without make-up.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like the first KISS album a lot and a few songs from subsequent albums. Cold Gin and Black Diamond are my favorites. They're an OK band but I wouldn't call them a favorite.

Early albums are pretty good up through say Love Gun. Entertaining in concert if you're considering seeing them, but they lost me when I saw them play with Aerosmith (2003) and Tommy Thayer came out in Ace Frehley's makeup. Haven't seen them since.
But they will deliver a decent bang for the buck in concert. Ace was always the main reason I liked them and when they put an Ace imitator onstage that was it for me.
Actually saw them do a club show in the early 90's with Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer, no makeup, no stage show, no fire, no blood spitting and it was very good.

Yes to both of these.

Went to Amoeba last night and holy shit. LA is pretty cool. On my way to Indio now.

 

[iron yuppie]

Kiss. I mean just look at these fuckers.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

They're all wearing the same wig.

If you didn't make it to echo park or highland park, you haven't even seen the real good stuff.

Speaking of LA, I put in a job application at UC Irvine. Doubt I get it and/or that it will pay enough to get me to move.

 

[martha]

Woo-Hoo!

Spoiler

You do realize that Irvine is about 40 miles or so from LA, right?

 

[martha]

LA is pretty cool. On my way to Indio now.

1. It can be.

2. Indio isn't cool no matter which definition you use.

 

[martha]

I was listening to that band with Sean Lennon in it, Ghosts of Saber Tooth Tigers or something, and they sounded pretty okay.

 

[lazarus]

Woo-Hoo!

It also sucks.

UCI supposedly has a great writing program though.

 

[martha]

UCI's a decent school.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, I've spent enough time in SoCal to know the layout.
