[Weekend] Spicy Sausage, Eggy Bread, Fluff’n & All Day Franklin’

Filed under: Coolness, Event, Friends, Funny, General — Zay @ 3:11:20 pm

So Friday was a day like most, I got into the office (way earlier then I needed to) for a scheduled conference call which was just about how I thought it would be for me.

Waste o’ time.

Fine though, it helped me to be able to leave early. Which helped me to drink early…Horse Brass style. Where both S. and I managed to throw back a few drinks, munch on some Rueben and fish and chips. (Yum!)

Where our favorite waitress (Paula) informed us that S. is madly in love with me.  Who knew. [shrug]…. or who could blame her, heehee.

Headed back to the Flippity Flip Flop A Hop for some crazy hot Aretha action.

En route we stopped out at Hollywood video and picked up some “interesting” looking movies.

Saturday was another interesting day… woke up and after being [denied] “entry to the party” due to a sudden and bizarrely out of place concern for my hip, S. and I headed out to Utopia Cafe for some “corned beed hash” [], eggy bread and interesting conversations.

We headed back to the Flippy and proceeded to clean it “hardcore” like we were “fluffing” for a David Gordon sequel.

During this process I learned that the house vaccum cleaner probably needs to be replaced… since it doesn’t really “pick up” dirt per se, it more relocated said dirt to other areas on the carpet that are less prone to being picked up by the human eye.

I was even able to get some laundry done… however…

[SideNote: A few weeks back I noticed a giant spider in the basement of damn near Jon Peters' proportions crawling through the towels I had just placed into the washing machine. ]

… I was reluctant to retrieve the towels in the basement that had been sitting there for a ‘minute’… fearing that there was probably a colony of super cyborg spiders waiting to attack from within. And who am I to prompt an invasion of such proportions.

However, I allowed my sack to drop and started to push through the mound o’ nasty and decided that two of the six or so odd towels that were on the ground were lost causes and threw those promptly out.

The rest I placed into the washing machine with the “incinerate” option set to full… and headed back upstairs to resume cleaning the remaining portions of the house that I was willing to touch.

S. did discover that in the hizzy, that if you actually use a toilet brush on a toilet it actually looks like a place; “You’d like to squat.”

After all this, it was time (finally) for some Aretha and some beers.

Needing some food (and more tasty beverages) we headed to the Shack for some tasty treats.

We get there and it turns out it’s happy hour… we finally leave well, well, well, after happy hour.

Two dogs, aproximately fourteen beers and fifty eight dollars later we stumble back to whence we came.

Some point on S. passes out and when I return she is “star-fish’n” like nobodies business.

So as to not wake her I lay on the floor and hope that I awaken prior to her so that I can hopefully find the window to get back on the bed before she realizes what’s going on.

She probably would have clubbed me like a baby seal had she seen me on the floor.

The next thing I know it’s Sunday and my stummy hates me in all sorts of ways I can’t even comprehend.

Seriously I showered twice and I think I washed more of the brown off of me before I got the funk of used bar booze sweat. (Which persisted for many hours following… said shower.)

Somewhere in there I took out the trash and recyling and ate something dranks tons of liquid and hit up seven eleven.

We watched the movies we had rented the day previous since there wasn’t much of us leaving the hizzy.

Disturbia, Contract and the Host (Gwoemul).

If I had to sum it up I’d say that, I spent most of the time either in “the pillows” or taking a twenty minute nap… but what I did see of most of them made me think, damn… six hours I don’t get back.

In Summation:

It was a good’ishness weekend… with too much drinking… not enough music making and movies that should have just aired on TBS so I could have known to avoid them.

[:flashback:07.29.07]

It was a day like any other…

…I awake to the greatest moment ever (like she always is)… but far too early.

There’s still clothes to wash and “stuff to pack”. However, we need to be gone by noon.

The plan for the day?

Sea-Town, Caribbean Food, great friends… and Daft Punk!

While doing the laundry and various other chores… we receive a message from Ronnifer… the actual text of which is unimportant, however the content was.

I can’t go./stop

I’m super lame, and want to cry./stop

=-o]

F-d in the A!!! (and not in a good way).

So we (the Bean & Bunny) scramble to try and find someone else that can go on short notice… (to what we believe might be the greatest show ever), but requires an overnight stay and happy-feet.

Sadly we could find no one. [sad panda]

So we contacted P-Dawg to get the 411 and coordinate. We were then able to get some South Park in… burn some CDs… and head out to gas.

A Shell, gas attendant hoochie, drinks, snacks, a tattoo explanation, twenty minutes and $50 later… we were on the road.

We had broken into two teams… team Hawwt Sauce consisted of the Bean & the Bunny… team Green… consisted of P-Dawg, Mizzy and the Crazy Mexican [Sistah Nik].

We were down one member if you recall… Ronnifer… mad monkey!!!

Team green had left about an hour prior to team Hawwt Suaces’ departure.

Are we there yet?

En route… we were able to partake in the beauty that is the drive from PDX up towards Sea-Town.

We listened to some seriously great music…

The best by far was the Aretha Franklin’s Greatest Hits album with Erma Franklin’s version of Piece of My Heart on it that the Bunny burned prior the other day… [she also owns the vinyl version as well.. so damn good...]

After much traffic and a pit stop we finally are able to join up with the rest of the crew up in the Sea-Tac area.

[SideNote: While trying to locate the hotel and the crew we come across the 3 Bears Motel... conviently placed near an adult video store. Genius.]

We try and mobilze an hotel escape route that leads to the restaurant we were thinking of on the way up. [Bahama Breeze]

So it’s decided that Mizzy will chauffer us around… (much thanks to him)… we finally get to the B.B. and ingest some drinks and food, and well…

…about $110 later (for just two of us)…

I was pretty unimpressed… … outside of mine and the Bunnies wallets… ouch!!! (Despite the look on Mizzy and my faces.)

[We'll just have to go to Jamaica and learn to do our own.]

However Mizzy did master his ninja ‘pokin’ skillz at dinner.

Oh yeah just like ninja porn.

So we bounce from the “resturante” and trek out to the venue.

The WaMu Theater, right next to Quest Field and SafeCo Field.

Opening were SebastiAn & KavinSky as well as the Rapture.

The WaMu Theater seating arrangement was interesting in the GA (General Admission) arrangement…

Basically they had the main floor area (which was substantial) very open and only the back area (mezzanine) had actual chairs in-place.

We arrived and were finding our seats during the start of the Raptures performance.

[Note: It wasn't actually that bad in the sitting area... we had a great view.]

[shrug]

It was interesting… (and way, way, way, too loud)… I know I’m old… but the mix was way off and just uncomfortable during their performance.

Also, we were all remarking how it was like they lifted complete guitar and bass lines… from songs we loved.

. o O ( You know who would totally rock this as an opening act and be way better? boy eats drum machine. )

But I digress… they weren’t horrible… just not that great.

Can we get some lights on stage? Lights… lights… can we get lights… more lights.

We’re the Rapture from New York in case you don’t know.” x 1,905,345 times in faux[?] “English” accents.

When they were finally done throwing too much feedback and distortion at the audience… SebastiAn & KavinSky took center time again… (not actually playing on stage but back where the venue lighting controls were).

It helped me remember that I don’t do the right type of drugs to stand DnB for long periods of time.

When none of the scheduled openers were playing we did get to hear some Michael Jackson and Run D.M.C.

…don’t stop til you get enough…

And we couldn’t. [hehehehehe]

So waiting, waiting, waiting…

…waiting, waiting, waiting…

And then it happened… the lights went down… and you could feel the energy begin to jump in the “room”.

All I can say really at this point….

…is…

DAFT PUNK!!!

[TELEVISION..... RULLLLEZZZ THE NATTTTTIONNN.... ARRROUNNNDDD THE WORLDDDDD.]

[TELEVISION..... RULLLLEZZZ THE NATTTTTIONNN.... ARRROUNNNDDD THE WORLDDDDD.]

They [Daft Punk] got on and put on the most incredible light show… EVER. Period… U2 can’t even touch what they [D.P.] did in concert.

I damn near wanted to cry this show was so good, despite having a Scott Storch and YoKo look alike team block me for most of the opening.

The bass was so thumping that they had frequencies that you couldn’t hear but could feel… since they were tearing your ligaments and muscles into pieces.

This was without a doubt I think the best show I’ve been too (maybe second to the Roots) ever.

So after all this excitement the show finally ends… well almost… they do an encore (short one) but yeah.. their suits lit up at the end of the encore.

The thing that most impressed me is that they mixed up all their songs and everyone got to hear their favorite (single) and sometimes in a completely new way.

Genius.

Well the crew then leaves the venue… pretty much deaf… “Huh?”

We hit the hotel… get to sleep… wake up… head to the nearest Elmer’s… and then move it on back to PDX straight big pimpin’.

To finalize… it was tits… amazing… 36D smackin’ tits.

If it’s another decade before they’re near here again… it’ll be worth it… and I’ll go rockin’ my walker.

[Music / Women] Faith Hills’ Balls

Filed under: Funny, General, Interesting, Music, TV, Women — Zay @ 8:30:47 am

So I guess Faith Hill got irate with a fan at a concert recently for grabbing her (Tim McGraws’) “fun-pack”.

You can get the full skinny off the AP here.

What I find funny isn’t this story but this clip of Faith at the CMA’s “losing” to Carrie Underwood.

Don’t forget miss Underwood is also responsible for the Boys losing in last years NFL playoffs.

If you’ve forgotten.
