hi obner. i'm back from vacation. what have i missed in the past 11 days?

certainly nothing music related.

Steve Kline balked AGAIN.

There was a gun battle in the manager's office.

well, that's a given!

seriously...i have a ton of work stuff to catch up on, so i can't dedicate the time i'd like to go back and read stuff.

how about some highlights/lowlights?

do i still like the wrens? arcade fire?

i feel so out of the loop.

tom cruise is a total fag.

Obner went down over the weekend for about 3 days so you didn't miss anything there. (Thanks again Haq)

The band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was the subject of much debate. Quite the split on who likes them and who doesn't. I haven't heard note one though.

The Spurs won the NBA championship which means we can finally turn our attention to the only sport that matters.......and it's not baseball.

Welcome back, Jason. How was your vacation?

it was wonderful chris, thanks for asking.

went back to my old stomping grounds of missoula, montana, then up to glacier national park, banff, jasper, then a few towns in british columbia. i'll try to post some pictures in a few days.

How did the mixes play with your road crew?

I started a "state of the obner" thread.

After much debate, Spade Kitty observed that instead of ruining the board, LooGar and I may have actually saved it....

I went to Kentucky for a wedding.

Hope you had a good trip. How's the weather in CO?

the mixes went over surprisingly well. lots of "who's this?" and "i like this", which always makes one feel good about their mix.

weather in colorado is hot and dry. summer is officially here.

edit: holy crap colin...wow. sorry to hear that man. i have no idea what to say...but know that we'll be thinking of you and are always here for you....

That's awful news, Colin. How did I miss that? Are you okay?

Hangin' in, Chris (and thanks j). I had a date on Saturday, so that helped a bit. Her folks split five years ago, so she knows what it feels like. Helps a lot. Had been out with friends the past three days havin' beers and talkin' about stuff, which has helped also. Doin' my best. Still working and being somewhat productive as well.

Say hi to your mom. They were big while it lasted.

...and chase put in another order of Bobbo shirts (that jagged picture was much earlier than I thought).

Hey, does this generally summarise events since 6/10? Now that I'm EMPLOYED and all, the archives look distressingly big rather than pleasingly plump...

also - we nearly started a war between philadelphia and atlanta.

I don't remember that.

Who's in Philadelphia?

Warmongering? Over federalism? Or what?

a bunch of fuckers on here were talking about philly - I don't keep track of names unfortunately. we had a full discussion of philly mass transit though.

well, Yail and I almost started a war. and i think it was resolved quite admirably. You guys are such instigators.

also, haq tried to destroy the board (unsuccessful) and OPA! and LooGAR are planning to wed in Canada.

and i forgot how to type, apparently.

There was some discussion of spanking of bare bottoms, and not Molly Shannon's; Tom Cruise is making an ass out of himself, and there was a picture of a really great bum.

Other than that, nothing much.

Who are you again?

You're still hanging in there at #29 in post count.

I know that's what you really want to know.

Steve
