LA graveyard 'pak?

Hello everyone,
It is not often that we get to play at a cemetery, and it is not often that we have a new album coming out. Very soon, though, those things will be happening within a couple of days of each other. So we decided to do something to mark the events.
At the aforementioned cemetery (the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles) on April 23rd, there will be a sort of art installation for our new album (which is called "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care" and which comes out on April 18th in the UK, April 25th in Europe, and April 26th in the US and Canada).
The event will be called "Taking Care: 6 Visual Interpretations," and that is indeed pretty much what it sounds like--at six different locations around the cemetery, there will be a station that includes speakers playing one of the new songs from the new album, along with a work of art that was inspired by that particular song. Each piece of art was done by a different artist in the medium of their choice.
The event starts at 8:00 PM, and the cemetery closes at 11:00 PM (so you can come at any time during those hours). Admission is free if you RSVP, which you can do so here.
Here are the artists' names and the track name for which they did artwork:
Last Known Surroundings -- Matthew Lessner
Human Qualities -- James Fields
Trembling Hands -- Matt Amato
Be Comfortable, Creature -- Jesse Fleming
Postcard from 1952 -- Chris Lipomi
Let Me Back In -- Alexis Disselkoen
We are pretty excited about the whole thing.
We will be leaving in a few days to start playing some shows again. It has been too long, and we hope to see a lot of you out there.
Love, Explosions

Your weather ispropprobably much better than here. I think I heard earlier this week that part of the country was above normal temperatures. Again, I'm not sure if that's true or not, but I think that's the case. It has been cold here but I did see two robins on Monday and my [can't read it] and daffodils are up although now covered with snow!
Then the guilt trip.
If time permits, keep in touch.
Holy crap. We're cousins, right? If yes, she told me to pass along the message that you're supposed to call her. I think she wants you to take her to her cataract surgery next week.

When Mario's not crying about games he didn't play in, he's beating his girlfriend with everything but the kitchen sink.

Yes you are. Nobody really cares about her background (other than the interesting production note that they are the real daughters of the actor dude). We are more in awe of the circle of life, bro, and if you can't see that then you don't know what it's like TO HAVE A CHILD. And UNTIL YOU HAVE A CHILD, you may never know.
My wife and I were talking about something...how's this for a cuteness attack? Picture this:
You are in church on Sunday morning with the family, and you glance over to the next pew to see the new family that has started showing up recently. They seem nice enough, and you've been considering introducing yourself to them the last few weeks but just haven't had the chance yet. Dad (sans mom because she died in a car wreck, hence why he's buying his kids a very very safe Subaru) is paying close attention to the sermon. Older sister is too--she's really starting to mature as a person and find her faith. Then you look over one more seat, and there's adorable little Georgie kicking her legs and coloring and eating Cheerios from a bag to keep herself entertained. Man. They grow up so fast.
It should be noted that SkinnyBenny is not actually married, has no kids in real life, and hasn't been to church in a decade.

The ad, by Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis, shows a real-life father, Andy Lyons, handing over the keys to his Subaru to his teen daughter Lanna.
Maybe I will run into them.

But we first see him giving the keys and instructions to his second, much younger daughter Georgie, who is sitting in the driver's seat as he leans in the window.
Can only think of Costanza now. Is less cute now.

Of course not. I remember when this d00d was on the sidelines for the KSU/USC game in '02 sporting a bright blue jacket with an indescribable tie. Also on the sidelines that day was a hot young reporter named Erin Andrews. Big 12 on TBS was elite, people.

« on: March 27, 2011, 12:34:44 AM »Dax and/or hillwalking, please grade this and let me know if FearTheBeard has earned a "link" from Johnny Wichita:I had trouble finding out who the mod was for the site, but saw next to your message that you are it. If you are serious about the cultural differences between NC and Hawaii; well there are many, very many. The following is my 1260 word essay you requested. Please let me know if there is anything else to this. I'm sorry if I caused drama in the thread, I'm just really interested in finishing the video. Thanks!
--------------------------------------
The first being the racial differences. Hawaii is mostly Asian/Pacific Islander, while North Carolina's is mostly white. English is the main language for both, with the exception that the Hawaiian and many different Asian languages are spoken. North Carolina's equivalent is Spanish. There are many different events/activities with both also.
Hawaii is big into surfing and body boarding, and really anything that has to deal with the Ocean. There are different dances such as fire knife and hula dances which are performed at luas and parties. The beer of choice in Hawaii is by far Heineken, I have no idea why, but I kinda found that interesting. I think that Hawaiians are generally kinda lazy, which if you hang around them for a while you’ll find out why. But, if you like that laid-back lifestyle than its all good. Unlike, many of the brochures you see for Hawaii Vacation, its not all like that. Hawaii is generally pretty poor and stuck in poverty. I think this is due to the high cost of living there. Gas was 5 dollars, Milk was 8 dollars and my little 2 bedroom house was $1800 a month excluding utilities and all. On campus, it’s a little bit different with the whole race thing as many of the students are out of state. The same goes with those in the armed forces stationed on the island. If you know someone from the army, navy, or airforce you can get into the base where the housing and things are. Its kinda like its own community. If forgot exactly what they are called, but theres a place on the bases where you can get your groceries and general living things really cheap on base. So, its worth knowing someone who has the connections. Sports wise the biggest sports are football, volleyball, and surfing. Sports aren’t nearly as big as they are on the mainland. No professional teams, just the college and every year the Pro Bowl. There are hardly any Mexican food restaurants on the island, same with American style home cooking. Kinda disappointed me some, but the different traditional and Asian style food was pretty good. Generally, most Hawaiian are very friendly, kinda have to be that way with so many tourist around. Tourism is the main source of revenue for the Islands. Not sure about how much or what percentage the draw is, but it’s a pretty big industry. I’d say that most of the tourist are Japanese and don’t speak a lick of English, with the rest being Americans. About a 60/40 split. Nightlife in Hawaii is very relaxed, there aren’t many bars or clubs there. The downtown Honolulu is more geared as a family atmosphere with the option of the beach and the many activities that go along with it. Hotels and resorts generally provide the entertainment with Luas being a main custom the many tourists that stay there. For whatever reason, male genitals fighting, although illegal, is a huge draw. Chickens are like squirrels in Hawaii, and there are thousands that free roam. As for living situations, Hawaii doesn’t really have neighborhoods, except on military bases. Houses are just off of streets, which could be like a neighborhood, but in reality are just houses lined up along the streets. There are many apartments in Hawaii. They are high rises like you would find in New York, not very well kept, but cheaper than houses. On the more expensive side there are the super nice houses where the really wealthy and many celebrities live. There are plenty of parks in those areas, and even in the regular areas. The parks are real nice and are generally pristine in their up keep.
North Carolina is pretty much like a typical American state. We are known for the flight, NASCAR, and basketball. I pretty much hate all North Carolina and Duke fans as they are extremely uneducated and obnoxious, same with all the Ohio State transplants. NASCAR is really big in NC, especially around the Charlotte/Mooresville area where most of the teams are located. There are three big races every year, with two being in May, and one in October. Like, I said earlier, basketball is a really big sport in NC, mainly college basketball. The two big teams, UNC and Duke are generally pretty good and your either for one and against the other. Football is somewhat big in NC. We have a NFL team, the Carolina Panthers. As for people. Its seems like most are transplants being from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. Banking is the major draw and probably the biggest reason for all the transplants as Charlotte is the second biggest banking city in the country. You have all your typical types of people too. The city dwellers, the suburban families, and the farmers and the people who live out in the middle of nowhere. The big races in North Carolina are White, Hispanics, and Blacks, in that order. Everyday it seems that more and more people are speaking Spanish, and there is a huge push for everyone to learn the language. Food wise, there are plenty. You have your typical mom and pops places where typical American food is served. Fast food is huge also. The really good food is the Mexican food, they are everywhere, carry almost identical menus, and the food quality is generally the same. Asian food is really big too, but not nearly as good as it was in Hawaii. As for living in North Carolina, it actually really great. Reminds me a lot of the Kansas City area. You have your downtown area which is filled with nightlife, shopping, and bars. And you have the high rise apartments in that area. The high rises are a lot nicer than the ones in Hawaii and run about the price of my 2 bedroom house, but you happen to get a lot more for what you pay. The suburban area of Charlotte is littered with neighborhoods. You have some really really nice ones in the south side of Charlotte. Its really convenient in my opinion because you are right on the border with South Carolina where the taxes are much lower on things such as Gas and food. The neighborhoods on the other parts of Charlotte are more middle class. Finally, you have the countryside. There are a million of two lane roads that lead to them. Most of them grow tobacco as that is the main crop in North Carolina. I enjoy the small towns the best though. I’m just that type of guy I guess. The nice thing about North Carolina though is the variety. You have the mountains to the west and the coast to the east. The mountains are great any time of year as hiking is really fun and skiing and snow boarding is really big in the winter time. On the coast of North Carolina are the beaches. They serve pretty much the same purpose as the ones in Hawaii, with the exception of surfing. In South Carolina, is Myrtle beach which is a huge tourist location, but if you prefer to do without the hustle and bustle and would rather just relax, I’d find a nice beach on the outer banks of North Carolina. There you have the small beach town feel and the light houses there are really cool too.
In closing, the North Carolina and Hawaii are very distinct locations culturally, but they both serve the same purpose. It’s just a place to live.
By "finishing" do you mean getting it pulled from YouTube once and for all?

The super-awkward N-N-N-Napa know-how commercial where the older guy in the red shirt looks at the camera and makes that weird face with the raised eyebrow. Just awful.
Also, I'm super tired of hearing Rusted Root's bogus-ass flute rock. Does NOT make me want to rent a car.

« on: March 26, 2011, 05:32:56 PM »FearTheBeard, your assigned essay will be on the cultural differences between Hawaii and North Carolina, and how you can use your background to improve the discussion on goEMAW.com. It needs to be between 1,225 and 1,275 words (not including footnotes) and should be submitted via PM to Limestone and myself by 3 p.m. (CDT) tomorrow. T-Y, Trim
LOL, chill and relax guys. I went to college at the University of Hawaii and live in Charlotte, NC. I grew up in Leawood, KS and grew up watching the Wildcats. I saw from a google search about Jacob about the weekend and got about 2 minutes into it on my I Phone before the waitress came with my food. The next thing ya know, I tried watching it and it got removed. So I went to Bringonthecats.com where it was posted and just by doing a little detective work, it led me here. I never knew this place existed, and I badly wanted to finish watching the video, so I just kinda followed the thread here hoping a link would pop up. Hence, why I decided to make me a profile on here and, I know it does sound really sketchy and all, but yes, my first post was a request to watch the video. Anyways, the journey continues and it leads me to this; what all does a first day, first time poster, need to do to get the link? I completely understand the situation and why everyone would be so careful about it not getting out to the general public/ copyrights people. Trust me, I feel the same way. I know its not between 1,225 words and 1,275, but its damn worth a try. Thanks!
What do you need to do? You need to earn it, son. And with your post here and the insubordination it implies, you really have just dug yourself an even bigger hole. In addition to your application essay of between 1,225 words and 1,275 words, you must now also accumulate somewhere between 1,225 and 1,275 posts. At that point, we will review your posting history and consider giving you the link.
Same goes for you, dietpepsi.
