  1. I’ve kind of been working at it under the heading of “crazy ass goals to work on that may never come to fruition but if they do it would be kind of cool”. The idea of making a few bucks here and there sitting in the corner of a bar playing tunes I like sounds appealing as a pseudo retirement plan. Plus, I live in Phoenix so you don’t have to be all that good to get gigs, not at all like Austin. Crowds here are generally just happy to have someone play. I’ve seen some dudes getting paid here who really aren’t that good.
     
    That said it would be nice not to suck. I actually took some voice lessons this summer when I had some free time from a really good voice coach. Amazing the difference it made and easily the most awkward thing I’ve ever done, nothing else is even close. Big help in getting over the anxiety.
     
    JJ I’m much less worried about band mates fucking up than I am band mates who don’t or can’t make the required commitment. We all have pretty full schedules these days. I can control 100% of the commitment required in a solo bit. Plus the song list isn’t a democracy.
     
     Who knows, we’ll see I guess.
     
     


    It’s been my observation living in the Atlanta burbs that you really don’t have to be that good to get those gigs. And if you find the ones like a brewery on a Friday night then no one is paying attention anyway.

    I’ve thought of doing what you’re talking about but I’m too chicken.
  2. That one too.  But the train sex scene in Risky Business brings back a great memory of a very late night with my college girl friend after we watched that movie.

     

    Sorry bud that wasn’t In The Air Tonight. It was Tangerine Dream.

     

     

    ITAT will always be rightfully associated with Miami Vice.

     

    Edit: on second look it was both. But all the good stuff happens when the TD song starts.

     

    I still say it’s more closely tied to Miami Vice.

  3. Damn that sucks! I was never a comic nerd but I love Lee’s contributions to pop media and culture. I always thought it was cool that he did the cameos and appeared in Kevin Smith movies.

  4. Interesting topic on the Freekanomics radio hour today addressing, among other things, the duopoly of the US political system.
    In addition to getting rid of party-specific primaries (moving to a single-ballot and non-partisan primary system), I thought the Ranked Choice ballot/counting method was interesting.  Out of the top 4 candidates that move out of the primary, in the general voters rank each in order of preference.  If nobody receives at least 50%, then the last-place candidate is dropped and the voters that has selected that loser ( [emoji846] ) has their votes moved to their second choice.  Repeat until someone gets to 50%.
    May be too complicated for Broward County.

    This is my number one because it seems so doable and has been done in some places at the state level.

    I’m open to the electoral college conversation, but I’d want more power transferred back to the states first.

    I’d also like to see a single 6-year presidential term. No re-election.

  5. It’s more like the old ish... very solid bottle IMO. Would have gone back to buy more last night but this was their last in the store.


    Since the pic didn’t load, what is it?
  6. Another day, another bottle...

    Hoping this gets me through the Tech game.

    Also got to try this yesterday for the first time. Apparently it’s Black Maple Hill in a different bottle and, at $27, you absolutely cannot complain.

    Pic didn’t come thru for me but if it’s the same as the new purple label BMH then $27 is too much.
  7. Blanton's Gold is my BTAC/Pappy safety plan. Well done. 


    It’s quite excellent. The Savannah 88 is not good.

    My buddy up thread who owns the whiskey bar with 1,000 bottles says Blanton’s Gold is in his top three.
  8. So the judge stated that it was Kemp's office who needed to decide how many of those machines that were idle should have been deployed when looking at the demand (aka how many voters) of the election.  
     
    So no, I'm not undermining my argument at all.  I'm not even sure where you're getting that idea. 
    You are the one trying to argue that Kemp's office is in the right.  They knew what they were doing. The machines were set aside because of the 2016 election, and then all of a sudden before midterms, this lawsuit hasn't been settled so voters have access?  Especially in mostly the Democratic areas of GA?
    Fuck outta here with that. 
    Now they are trying to place blame on the county offices themselves. 
     
     


    “Kemp suppressed the minority vote!”

    “So many minorities voted that there should have been more voting machines!”

    That was a joke btw. Don’t blow a gasket.

    I will keep watching and I will be interested in the results of any lawsuits. I’m primarily concerned with the facts. It may surprise you to learn that I did not vote for Kemp.

    I also don’t believe you have to hate the person you’re voting against.

    So far what I have seen is notions of voter suppression pushed by anti-Kemp and anti-GOP outlets, coupled with a handful of anecdotes. Most of them are just referring to the same handful of articles in somewhat circular fashion.

    I think Abrams ran a helluva campaign and got out the vote in spectacular fashion, but lost. Someone had to lose. I think that what she’s doing now is just perpetuating the outrage machine. From what I’ve read there are not enough votes left to count to create a runoff.
