Friday Night

Movies at the Clubhouse.

Will There Be A Den Of Sin?! UNFINISHED BUSINESS for real.

Maybe.

I have to move all my furniture back to it's original place and it's gonna be mighty difficult to be careful with the new floors and host a movie night myself. I was hoping I could bribe people (hopefully not too much help. I don't want bored people standing around) to help me move couches, shelves and reconnect all the speakers in time for movies.

But wait...there's another hitch. One of the movies we'd be potentially watching is busted at my store and I have no money to rent it elsewhere. So I'd be grateful if someone would volunteer to rent a copy. The movie? Well it's the first movie of the night.

Mon. Feb.27

7pm Last half of Aguirre: Wrath of God (1972): This was a while back but to fill people in I'll just copy and paste what this dude on IMDB said; "A few decades after the destruction of the Inca empire, a Spanish expedition leaves the mountains of Peru and goes down the Amazon river in search of gold and wealth. Soon, they come across great difficulties and Don Aguirres, a ruthless man who cares only about riches, becomes their leader. But will his quest lead them to "the golden city", or to certain destruction?" Seriously that brings us up to where the DVD failed.

9pm Last half of Soldier of Orange (1977): If you weren't here for the first half you might be confused. To recap by my faulty memory; WWII. Germany has invaded and conquered Holland. Rutger Hauer, a privileged care free student at the beginning of the film has grown into a concerned freedom fighter. He does some damage to the Germans forcing him to travel to England to escape reuniting with his old school chum on the fleeing freighter. At this point everyone was sleepy and went home. Bah. So we're finishing her off.

So if that's what we're doing and you want to help call me (604-831-4699). I'm assuming most of you are working during the day so don't worry too much.

Pop fund not in effect. No pop.

Scary, but whatever..

I'm sick of feeling shy..
It's time to share some of my stuff with the world.. I have over 300 graphics I've either produced or modified..

so here's about ten or so.. haha..

www.spray-paint-naked.blogspot.com

Why?

So I have the 2nd Dungeons and Dragons movie (Wrath of the Dragon God), and Doom.

I also have a litre of moonshine.

All I need now is a place to watch it and other people to ensure that I am not drinking alone. Please post available locations and general declarations of interest. If there is no interest, I will watch them alone in my basement on my birthday.

Christian vs. Your Eardrums *LIST NOW UPDATED*

Hey, so I was reminded last night that the slack shack gig is in 1.5 weeks, that is the evening of Saturday, March 4th. They need dinner music for the raclette, hence I'll supply the karaoke gear, 2000+ songs (da funk) and Bob will provide the sound system (da noise). It worked out great last time and if I can dig out the cables, we can probably mix in a dvd player.

Anyhow, if anybody has any song requests, just comment or email me. I probably won't have time to do any custom tracks, but check out www.dbkaraoke.com and click on "advanced search" and type in the artist or song title that you're thinking of (this will tell you if that particular song is available in the karaoke world, in which case there's an 80% chance I can find it). DBKaraoke is not exhaustive, so it might still be available if you don't find it there.

The list is still available here, but is a little out of date. I'll update it by monday. There'll be some new soul, old school R&B and a beastie boys flood.

And the fun don't stop...

miyuki's triumhant return to canadaland, or christian v. chineefoo: round 18

after a quick trip to homey security, miyuki's card is green! not red or brown or orange or periwinkle, but greeeeeeen! we will have it in our possession within ten days, putting us on schedule for a return to the hinterland the weekend of march 4. we're going to keep our gradual reacclimation to canadian culture on the lowdown, so hopefully we'll be able to see everyone in mellow settings. however, I do feel obliged to invoke the long forgotten, time honoured tradition of CHINEEFOO! noon, sunday march 5, peking restuarant, everyone invited. be there or be rhomboid.

Death Cab For Ferdinand

Would anyone like to see the Death Cab For Cutie/Franz Ferdinand co-headlining show? FF weren't announced at first, I think because they're going to the Coachella festival in CA the next day, but they've now been confirmed.

Pacific Coliseum
Friday, April 28, Doors 6pm/Show 7pm
$45.50-$35.50

Based on our seats at the Giants game the other week, I'm fine with the cheaper seats as opposed to the floor. I think that's how it works. I will be going to Zulu Records maybe around Saturday at noon to buy tickets, where they should be a little cheaper than the listed Ticketmaster prices. Anyone in?

Will is such a slut...

So this is my way of saying Happy Heart Day to everyone!!

I mean really.. Isn't this holiday all about setting up your friends??

So it's time to vote...
Big G or O Face B for Will Dawg??

Here's to a year full of much love and many good times..
Hugs All!!!

Den of Sin: We've got UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

In recent times we've have missed out on a couple of showings. One due to the weakness of the audience (Soldier of Orange), the other due to the weakness of the DVD or player. Well this week we're gonna rectify that.

Mon. Feb. 12th

7pm Salon Kitty (1976): Here's what I wrote when we originally programmed it; "This will be our first Tinto Brass movie we've seen. This about a brothel enjoyed by many a Nazi. There may be a plot involving recording the Nazis getting it on (meaning "bizarre passions and carnal degradations") with the ladies for blackmail purposes. But hey there's "Bizarre passions and carnal degradations". Sadly we don't know about programming more Tinto Brass movie for fear of tripping over people's boners while heading to the washroom." Yeah well the DVD didn't work but we have a different copy at my store so I'll be making sure to grab that one. Hey if that doesn't work there's the second half of "Aguirre: The Wrath of God".

9pm Last half of Soldier of Orange (1977): If you weren't here for the first half you might be confused. To recap by my faulty memory; WWII. Germany has invaded and conquered Holland. Rutger Hauer, a privileged care free student at the beginning of the film has grown into a concerned freedom fighter. He does some damage to the Germans forcing him to travel to England to escape reuniting with his old school chum on the fleeing freighter. At this point everyone was sleepy and went home. Bah. So we're finishing her off.

See ya tomorrow.

I'm not entirely sure the purpose...

But let's get the ball rolling!

I made this for fun and then thought "hey, everyone might like this.. "

Octophonic Coffee

Soma cafe (2528 Main St at Broadway) at 9pm Friday. They'll be playing Zaireeka, the 1997 album by the Flaming Lips which was released on 4 CDs intended to be played simultaneously for octophonic sound. Prizes will be awarded!

I've only bothered to listen to it on various combos of 2 CDs and even that's pretty fun at times. If anyone would like to meet up, leave a comment or call.

Coookies!

For those of you without plans for Valentines Day or would rather share it with friends, I'm having a cookie party at Trevor's on Febuary 14th. I figured we could start early around 6pm or so. I'll make a large main dish for dinner. If you want to come by earlier and help me make dough that would be cool just let me know.

So the plan is to make and decorate cookies. I have a few cookie cutters but if you have your own that you think poeple might want to use please bring them. Also if everyone could bring either something to go with dinner or some kind of candy decoration( sprinkles, candy, decorating gel etc.) that would really help me out.

Trevor's adress should be in the forum, i'll update it if need be. If you are vegetarian please let me know that way I know how much to make that isn't with meat.

Good times, good friends!

Recently updated flickr account includes New Year's and a couple karaoke nights!

It's still going BABY! DEN OF SIN! Celebrate.

I'll be posting later in the week with a complete schedule for the month. As for this monday.

EARLY MIIKE

(I'll just repost the earlier write-up)

7pm Shinjuku Triad society (1995): Miike's theatrical debut after many straight to video features. There's yakuza violence and taboos broken. Fun to be had by all.

9pm Fudoh: The New Generation (1996): Fudoh doesn't like his yakuza boss Dad, especially after seeing him kill Fudoh's brother. So it's all out war between Father and Son! It's Miike that should be enough explanation for you.

If you guys are worried about weirdness or awkardness this really is the best thing for us. Good times, good friends. Word.

Graeme's Official Bday Plans
