My laptop was stolen spring of 09. I didn't log in very much over the summer and finally bought a new one recently.
This should clear up any confusion about your confusion/animosity directed towards my tardy responses to your inquires.
Cheers.
Confusion.

I just found out that I am going to SXSW this year.

My friends and I will be on bikes.

If you want to ride bikes with us, hit me up.

I have played literally hundreds of shows in my lifetime. My first, a spot at Arap's Bar&Grill when I was 15 years of age.
Since, none has compared to the house party show.
A fire safety inspector's worst nightmare:

I took these last week at my guitar-player's birthday party. That's her with the curl hanging down in front of her face. This is the Yellow Bordello house. Here in Denver, we give our houses funny names and throw shows, charity events, host bike/whatever collectives etc. (I know this kind of thing happens in other cities, I'm just proud of mine.)

This is what I live for: community, responsible partying into the night, and live music in the kitchen. So far, I've lived in 3 houses (including current) like the one photographed here. Those houses spawned the best memories of my life.

It isn't all about getting drunk and yelling "woooooooo!" a lot. This is something else entirely.

Have a big house? Throw a damn show. Life it too short.

Sometimes you meet a nice computer-literate woman only to find that she has glitter-graphics all over her fucking blog.

...such is life.

How to rip off Focus On The Family, A Guided Tutorial

Mercilessly yanked it from Warren Ellis' blog...

What with the Washington State Supreme Court handing down its anti-gay-marriage decision several weeks ago and the ever-hearing more about attacks on reproductive rights down south, I'm feeling that the States is tripping a bit too merrily down the Handmaid's path.

This week, I found a way to strike back.

Focus on the Family, the horrid anti-gay evangelical church based in Colorado Springs that wields too much power for anyone's good, has a store on their website that will give you books, CDs, and DVDs absolutely free of charge. Usually people pay for their items by donation, raising millions of dollars to help Focus on the Family produce more hate-propaganda featuring "experts" on homosexuality who claim it's a curable "sickness". (They're practically defined by their book A Parents Guide to Preventing Homosexuality. Course, there's no mention of having less kids, which is the only proven method. No, no, you shouldn't use birth control, that would be wrong. They need more worshippers, how dare you prevent god's will.)

It's a little bit time-consuming, but not enough to deter me. (Nor should it you). The chance to take money out of their pockets is too useful, not to mention satisfying.

Here's how to do it in 10 steps:

1. Go to http://www.family.org and look for the "Resources" link in the blue bar on the left-hand side, right above the "Search" box, and click it.

2. Under the "Resource Category" menu on the left-hand side, you'll notice categories such as "Homosexuality" under "Resource Category." Me, I went straight to the CDs and DVDs under "Resource Format."

3. Go through, find something you like, such as the recently released movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or The Chronicles of Narnia Radio Theatre Complete Set, suggested donation US $79.00, or the three disc Les Miserables soundtrack. It's not a very wide range of products, but there's bound to be something either you like or you could use as a sweet gift for someone else. Click the "Add to Cart" button.

They won't send more than $100 worth of materials for free in any given shopping trip, so be sure to go through a few times, until you're sure you've dinged them.

4. Select "Add New Shipping Address", decide to send it yourself or someone else, and once you're done picking up to $100, click "Proceed to Checkout." Some people have been sending items to themselves to sell later on eBay, some have been ordering the more controversial items as conversation pieces or educational props, (as anti-anti-propaganda), but I plan on using mine as gifts, mostly. I've found no reports on receiving Focus on the Family junk mail after inputting an address, so I figure it's fairly safe.

5. The next screen asks you to sign-up for an account and give your information. Fill it out with fictitious information, enter whatever name and address you like. You might want to make up a phone number too and an e-mail account too. After filling out all the required fields, click "Proceed to Checkout" one more time.

6. This will take you to the "Here is Your Cart" page. You may have to re-enter your data again after this part to actually confirm your account. Eventually, you'll get to the "How Much Would You Like to Donate?" page.

7. Select "Enter other total amount" and enter 0.00 as the amount you would like to pay. (Don't put in a dollar sign or it will ask you for credit-card information.) Don't be fooled by the field in the lower-right-hand corner that shows you the suggested donation amounts, simply Proceed to Checkout.

8. The next screen is a guilt screen, to make you feel bad about how little you donated. ignore it. Ignore it utterly. Think of how many people they've persecuted and had in their "gay kids can be cured" camps. Just proceed to checkout again.

9. Click "Checkout Now."

10. Finally, pass this information on to all your friends. They"ve got money to back them, we have word of mouth, let"s see if we can win.

Seriously, people. Since when was it okay to let kids write hate-filled messages on active missiles?
