I thought this could get a brotha wrecked pretty quick...

are they broadcasting any of the shows anywhere? I'm curious to see/hear the Floyd

Aren't MTV and VH1 broadcasting the show all day on Saturday?

i've managed to pretty much ignore any specifics about this thing. is it happening in philladelphia? are you working parking for this shindig?

are you shitting me? remember that little stretch of road in front of the art museum, the one with all the flags on it on the way to the academy? yeah, that's where they're cramming the million plus people for this shit. They're not allowin cars all over the downtown area, and lately everyone seems to be concerned of a terrorist attack(!!????) and mentioning 500 times that the U.S.S. Cole is docked right down the river. I was gonna sit on a roof and just get wasted and heckle people, but now it's looking like i'll be in the car or on a boat in MD through most of it.

damnit i need some more fireworks.

fine sir i am shitting you not.

well then. no.

i've been searching for a TV/radio schedule, but keep on getting some shit about ABC airing a 2 hour highlight reel and that shit about Bono getting the whole thing screwed for dropping the f-bomb at the golden globes last year. can saying fuck scre the whole event?

so are they going to cure something or make something worse? if bono's involved i'm assuming that there's some agenda. is bob geldoff still alive?

sort of.


i'm pretty sure it's the same cause as the last one. apparently, Africa is still starving.

so have there been 8 of these things already? i remember on with willie nelson a while back but that was is.

nah, it's because it's coinciding with the G8 conference, which everyone has sorta forgotten about.

oh there was an hbo movie about this on the other day but i don't think that it was really about it about it, more like 'bout it 'bout it.

isn't that what every HBO movie is about?

sadly it had that broad from trainspotting in it so i tivoed it. i should probably go watch it now but i'm getting some serious music-listening time in right now.

that's the skinny of it, it seems pete doherty is gonna join elton john onstage. wait i thought he was playing here.

Edit: that's on the 4th.

looks like hell on earth to me. i can see why the soothing sounds of the bomb-testing in the background would be preferable to remaining in town.

unfortunately i think they hold up on that over the holiday. that's "creat your own" time.
