Hey bolg. We got some bad news last night: W may not have a job next Thursday, because the governor Blago is cutting billions from the IL state budget for social services, which includes the program that funds her office. Everyone at her office (and offices providing similar services) will be laid off after Wednesday.
So if you have time this weekend (or early next week) I’d ask that you contact your various representatives and urge them to do what they can to reverse the cuts, or figure out a more equitable way to distribute them. Those of you lucky enough to live in Cook County can go to civicfootprint.org to get a list with contact info. It’s probably a long shot, but we would both really appreciate it.
Also I’ve put together this email that you could copy and paste and fill in the blanks. See ya in the pit…
Dear XXXXXXX,
I am writing to urge you to override the cuts proposed to the state budget by Governor Blagojevich, and more evenly distribute the cuts. As things stand, the proposed cuts will lead to the immediate elimination of services that may appear expendable to some in Springfield, but are absolutely crucial to the Chicago-area communities they serve—programs like drug, alcohol and mental health counseling for high school kids from poor families.
Many of your constituents depend on these offices and the people who serve there, and closing the door on them isn’t fair to the kids, their families or the communities in which they live. I’m asking you and your colleagues to do whatever you can to maintain state funding for these crucial programs, and for you to continue supporting the professionals and kids who truly need it.
Thank you,
XXXXXXXX
oh yeah: you can read about it here and here.

SUNDAY PITCHFORK TICKET?? I'm looking for one. Have an extra? Know someone who does??

So emusic sent me an email asking me to "come back" at their basic price of $10.99/month for 30 downloads. Turns out to be a terrible deal per mp3. If you examine the handy spreadsheet I made, you'll find that the best per-unit price is with annual deals. (prices do not include any bonus mp3's)
Quelle coïncidence! I'm here to spread the news about a design contest too.
This American Life is holding a T-Shirt Design Contest. The deadline is July 28. The prize is $1000 and future pledge drive fame. Follow the link, get the rules. (Pls, don't use Ira Glass's image. Insider tip - a lot of entries have been skirting the Ira rule by using his iconic glasses, so avoid that unless your glasses idea is the best ever.)
I've been looking at each and every submission, and so far there are only about 8 good ones out of 100 (good odds if you ask me).

For those in Chicago who have some time on their hands, and could use some extra cash: Marwen is participating in a graphic design contest, hosted by ethel's chocolates. To enter you have to create a fun little design, which would be imprinted on the chocolate. The winners get to have their design featured on a special edition run, and they also get $1000. Marwen gets a portion of the proceeds.
I think you also have to write a short essay on "how chocolate can create hope" (lol).
Here's a link if you're interested.

With Dan on the road to desert riches and Dr. O m.i.a. I don’t know if any doctorbs read this, but I have something interesting and weird going on with my foot right now, that I don’t need any help with but it’s bizarre enough to be worth sharing. You see the other day I took a skateboard to the shin pretty tough, just above the ankle, and a bit later it happened again, leaving a sizable lump that became tender enough that it was painful to take steps. This was only for a little bit however.
The more interesting part was as I waited with anticipation for the bruise to appear, a small one did, but not the full-blown purple/yello monstrosity I expected. However, yesterday a dark purple bruisey splotch appeared on the side of my foot. A good five-six inches below the actual bruised area. It doesn’t hurt or anything, my main deal is just, WTF?

memphis roundup! observations:
1) very stinky. some blocks smell like vomit, some like poo. some like bbq. bbq is obviously the preferred of the 3.
2) from what i've seen, women's bathrooms south of the mason-dixon line are in terrible working order. 60% have no stalls with working locks, 30% have seats covered in liquid of unknown origin, 5% have cockroaches spotted in the immediate vicinity. numbers may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
3) it is hot! but its actually hotter in chicago today than it was in memphis so neener neener. and we had better get used to it right quick anyway.
4) the houses here have very large beautiful porches on the front. love them.
5) beale street is totally the jam, even at 7pm on a wednesday night. tons of great music and no cover charges.

the cta strikes again! (too soon?)
10:03:00, Leavitt and Grand. Me. 65 Grand Bus (baws bus btw). Woman across the street, taking her dandy time so nobody (i.e. me and driver) can tell if shes trying to get to the bus or just wants to wander into the industrial oblivion beyond Grand.
10:03:30: I get on bus start walking down the aisle when the driver screams at the top of her lungs and slams on brakes.
10:03:55: Me = floor of bus. Scraped. MOMN have given some lucky riders a peek into the ole wonder hole thanks to probably work-inappropriate skirt. Pedestrian - hit by bus but not damaged bc we were going .5 miles an hour pulling out of stop.
10:04:02: Bus driver proceeds to open the doors and curse the fuck out of the pedestrian, while the rest of us get off to wait for the next bus since cops will have to come.
Brilliant!

Ohh, hai u guys. This weekend will be my first pitchfork festival and I am generally optimistic about it. But I have some Questions to You who have been there before me to help sort out it. Can its answer?
-would it be cool, and I mean would they really notice, if one of the water bottles I can bring in legally would be filled with some clear liquor? Would this be sweet or simply awesome? this is how i got thru 18 hours in times square on new year eve 99/00.
-can I bring in my skateboard? Did anybody notice others people standing around in past years holding skateboards? You might have noticed about it because these people would be more of a boss than usual lil daddy.
-is the food good/more expensive than it should be
-who are the suckiest people there and is it possible to avoid them
-can they make JAMC play next year
-how bad is it gonna suck, if it rains.
That’s about it. How many lizards do you think Dan and VA have seen so far, I bet its a lot.

Phew. Finally back home and on my couch after the recent noreaster vacation with Andy. The vacation featured Rochester, ten hours on the Lakeshore Limited 48, New York, and a Boston/Devens/Salem/Ipswich whirlwind finale. Much fun was had while encountering a cast of hundreds beyond the set of friends we set out to meet. I should draw a chart. A special thanks to Nick for covering tasks meant for real cat owners, Matt/Tamar for hosting us on school nights, Jason for being home at precisely the right time, Matty for reliving his gameshow moment for us (on his phone), Yankee Stadium security for not checking our tickets, the cab drivers from Cab Express of Beverly MA for giving us personal tours of the Salem/Boston area with awesome commentary, Jacob for keeping things light on Stuckfunky.com, and Andy for enduring an entire week of my relentless quest for humor. We had a great time; real talk.

"But poor DMX doesn’t hurt anyone, not even a dog, allegedly, and his ass gets arrested three times in one day. DMX was arrested in Miami at 9am one morning, posted bond, flew to Arizona and was arrested when the plane touched down at noon. While in the lockup he was extradited to New Mexico to serve a warrant for some other shit. If you ask me, DMX should fire his lawyers. They are obviously having him set up to increase their invoices to him. If DMX gets out of jail long enough to release another album I will buy that shit to help him defer some of his legal costs. The Game, not so much."

Wimbledon update: Murray, Nadel and Rog are all through to the next rounds. Which means this is going to get interesting.
Murray could be the first Brit to win since Fred Perry in the late 30s. Though he faces Nadel in the next round and that Spainard is a beast who looks like he's gunning for Rog in the final. Nadel will probably go through but I'd love for Murray to bring on an upset as I'm rooting for the Scot.
Yes, break out the whites, this is how we roll in London town tonight.

10 rare clouds. Cool.
crowbar is another band in the distinguished line of New Orleans metal that completely kicked ass in the early/mid 90s. they were a little sludgier and less polished than some of the big acts of the time, but their delivery was second to none. in my estimation, they were one of the few bands that could translate the ferocity of their live show onto record, a trait you come to appreciate when you need some intense music to get you through a shitty day. 'all i had(i gave)'comes from their 1993 self titled release, but if you are into it, i'd also check out their debut record, Obedience Thru Suffering, and their third release also kicks a lot of ass... Time Heals Nothing. kirk windstein, singer, always seemed to me like he was eternally pissed off, and this video cracks me up sometimes cuz it looks like he might be taking a huge fucking dump, or at least tryin' to.
