MOVIE NIGHT: Biker fun.

I've had a request recently to do a biker double bill of Easy Rider and one of the following movies we're about to see. Well I'm happy to oblige halfway.

Mon May.15

7pm The Wild Angels (1966): Loser (Bruce Dern), a member of the Hell's Angels, has his bike stolen by a group of Mexicans. He calls in his fellow member Blues (Peter Fonda) as well as several of the other members to help him get his bike back. In the attempt to reclaim it a huge melee breaks out and the police soon arrive. Loser, finding himself without a bike, steals the bike of one of the officers and is chased down and shot. Blues and his gang then plan on getting him back from the hospital. Things do not go well.

9pm Hell's Bloody Devils (1970): Al Adamson's lost "Classic". An FBI agent who has been assigned to infiltrate an organized crime ring in cahoots with neo-Nazis and recruited motorcycle gang, The Bloody Devils. Marvel at plot lines introduced, developed and then ignored.

without numbers

so i lost my phone last night, droped it in the cab at the end of the night. so if you need to get a hold of me, email may be the only way, unless you know my parent's number but only the priveleged few who email me and ask for it shall recieve it. to all who are expecting me to call them this week, i can't because i don't have your number.

Those Nasty Habits...

Anybody going to see Ron Cahill's band Nasty Habits tonight?

> Friday 12th May & Sat 13th May........RCL # 83..5289 Grimmer Street BBY.....
> ...8.30pm - 12.30am

His parents (from Birmingham?) will be in the audience. As will Jen and I.

One block south of Kingsway, just off Royal Oak. So pretty close to either Metrotown or Royal Oak skytrain stations...

Logo Competition

Now with prizes!

See that logo up there? That one. We need a new one. Email your design (similar dimensions, please). I will post them here with the option of "Better or worse" than the current logo as they come in (for the purposes of general anonymity). Responses can go either by email or in the comments. Ideally by "the end", we'll have chosen the best one. Let's say the cut off for this first round will be May 31?

If it's popular enough, it may just be an ongoing design function of The Clubhouse as another way for contributors to contribute.

If this were real...

It wouldn't surprise me if the FDA approved it.....The Onion brings the heat.

Birthday plans

I'm going to a Midsummer Night's Dream at Bard on the Beach. Festival seating, so buy tickets, and we'll see each other there.

It's a Wednesday, so most of you will be going to karaoke, but for those who want an alternative, feel free to join me.

Come Live With Me!

I am looking for a room mate for June 1st 2006. Rent is $480 which includes utilities and the room can be furnished. I am located in Strathcoma, near Pender and Hawks. Close to Commercial and Downtown, with easy access to SFU and UBC. If you know anyone who might be interested can you pass the information on.

The Islands + Busdriver

UPDATE: THIS SHOW IS CANCELLED. Mesa Luna is closed. I'm so mad I could just spit!

Threadless... you know you want some

Okay, so I put in a big order yesterday and I accidentally, in a moment of confusion, ordered an extra shirt in guys small. It's about the size of a girls' large, only longer and not baby-tee style. It's called Landline's Revenge. It'll be about $15 when it comes in, call dibs now.

Also, I want to order another shirt (the one with the monster in the theatre seats), so if anyone else wants in on another cheap shirt order, I'll be putting one in around 10pm tonight.

Brendan: I ordered you a Commie shirt for $15; if you want it, it'll cost ya. ;)

He's Baaaaaaaaack.

Blazin Hazen. Booyakasha. Don't front. He's Blazin.

Movie on Thursday

Lance and Brendan and Derek and I are going to see "Art School Confidential" on Thursday night. All are welcome. Open invite styles. Call and/or post for details.

PHANTASM double bill

As promised. Too lazy to write synopis. Just know, classic franchise I've, yet again, never exposed myself to (never seen a Leprechaun movie). Flying orbs, shrunken zombies directed by Don Coscarelli of now Bubba Ho Tep fame (formerly Phantasm fame). Starts as usual a little after 7pm.

The death of time

You all know who already did this, so post your picture links in comments.

Hey who wants to go camping?

I've been floating the idea of a couple of camping trips this summer. One all inclusive at Cultus Lake (Waterslides) and another farther out for just the guys. Anytime this summer (late july to early september) is good except for July 28-29. Comments? Suggestions? Money?

SUMMER OF LOVE! (or Nachtmarkt 2006)

Interesting theme...wonder if the vendors will run with it?

Anyhow, here's the scoop on the Richmond Nightmarket (off Vulcan Way and River Road in Richmond, 2.5 blocks north of Ikea).

Date: May 19 to Oct 01 2006
(Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Long weekends)

Opening hours:
7:00 p.m. to mid-night (Friday and Saturday)
7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (Sunday and Long weekend)

I'm considering a trip on opening weekend once the date is set for a certain birthday. Great place to get games, movies, computer/cell accessories, books, kitchenware, RonCo knockoffs, cheap food...it's the closest thing Vancouver can offer to uwi...uwa...uwe...Aunt Jemima! (Damn you, Christian!)

TBA - Cascade Falls trip...tentative date July 23rd, but possibly a June date as well if it's hot enough. Hike riverbeds, swim in pools from glacier runoff, slide down naturally formed waterslides. Just east of Mission.

TBAA - Golden Ears is a close second...north beach, lower falls...shelter at peak to camp overnight...just north of Maple Ridge.

The Book Of Liz: a play by The Talent Family

I don't do a whole lot of plays but this one is a must-see because it's written by the Sedaris siblings, David (lots of books and NPR readings) and Amy (the afterschool special parody, Strangers With Candy). There are a few performances coming up. I'd prefer this Saturday or next...please comment if you would like to come along, and we'll fix a date soon.

The following info was cut & paste from here & there:

This is a campy comedy about Elizabeth, who has a bad sweating problem and is living a very routine life making cheese balls. It is the cheese balls that are supporting the community financially. When Elizabeth leaves to see what life is like in the big city, her old community begins to crumble. The recipe she provided is not creating the balls which were so legendary and people back home thinks she has sabotaged them. In the end, it is discovered that there is a secret ingredient that only Elizabeth has.

May 3-6 & 9-13, 8 pm, Havana Theatre (1212 Commercial). Tix $20 at the door/$15 advance at Biz Books, Little Sister's Book Store, and online.
