BIRMINGHAM THREAD (Home of the 2022 World Games & a Better Place to Visit than Serbia)

Paywall’d

 

I would like to encourage everyone to use the thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to talk to your relatives about voting for Doug Jones.

 

Probably needs its own thread:

McConnell calls on Moore to step aside if report on relations with teenagers is true

Go for it

 

Kevin Spacey was in town today.

 

Gloria Allred in the house

 

I picked up a Doug Jones for senate sign over the weekend.

Hasn't been stolen yet.

 

pinking talking fish at workplay Friday night. as you may have inferred, they cover Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish. they're pretty good, and it is the 20th anniversary of one of the best phish shows of all time. should be a good time.

 

i know that because they're a cover band i shouldn't hold them to that high a standard but that name is truly dreadful

 

Where are you seeing workplay? I was handed a flyer at a stolen faces show a couple of weeks ago at moonlight, but it was for some kind of mini-festival with pink talking fish at old car heaven

 

I stand corrected it is old car heaven

 

While we're talking music, everyone should get Kamasi Washington tickets for dec. 5 at Saturn

 

i think it's at saturn

 

You're right. I already bought a ticket and misremembered

 

Fun times after the Roy Moore presser

 

I said this in the Trump thread on 8/1 and I've never ever meant it more.

 

Tick muthafucking tock

 

Put a fucking limb on my roof and jacked up the gutters I had installed last week.

 

My dog was outside taking a shit when it hit.

Never seen him run so fast to get back inside.

 

I primed a porch with oil base paint today...

 

Just cleaned the gutters
Probably full of hickory nuts from the sound of things. They’re coming down like mortars.

 

Ended up at the Nick last night. Lee Bains was great but today

 

Can’t quite tell what adjustments Hoover made but Thompson has had no answer for this Bucs rushing attack. Total domination

 

...and here come the warriors

 

That is how I felt on Thanksgiving.... stayed at Marty's till 6 Wednesday night.

 

Watched the sunrise there the night he died and haven't been back since.

 

the Nick negativity is unnecessary

Might even drop in tonight

 

Who died?

 

The original proprietor, Mr. Marty Eagle.

 

You should all go to Oasis to hear a good band

 

who is it?

 

Schmohawks

Cover band some of my friends are in

 

I was there earlier too it was packed. They were okay. The highlight was a solid cover of 25 or 6 to 4. Not a Chicago fan myself though.

They have a band called Tragic City that plays there regularly that is really good.

Spoiler

somewhat relevant

 

more relevant

 

I don't dislike the Nick. I disliked the decisions I made while there.

 

They’re pretty good at pulling out songs that I forgot existed but also know every word.

 

so you’re telling me they played dishwalla - count only blue cars?

 

That whole story is pretty crazy and probably needs its own thread

 

“The Trials of Judge Roy Moore”

 

The Doug Jones campaign really needs to work on those email blasts they send out.



Thought it was one of those Russian spams.

 

Haha. Yeah, that's bad.

 

Anybody ever used the Wyndy app? Used it for the first time tonight. Great idea. Essentially, it like Uber for baby sitters. You post your job, 4yo from 4:30-8:00 paying $x.xx/hr and ‘wyndys’ apply. You get rating, how many jobs they’ve performed, biography, etc. All the Wyndys are college girls.
