I haven't written here in a while because there's been almost
nothing interesting going on, I'm afraid to say. Let's see, what
has been going on?
- Remedy, our weekly Friday
event, finally called it quits after 148 events over two and a half
years. It looks like we'll be doing one-off events on Fridays for
the forseeable future, and if history is to be any guide, those will
probably be hiphop. This undermines our usual "we've got both kinds
of music, house and hiphop" gag.
- Recently, Lift
(or as we all call it, "Pukey Asian Night") broke their own record,
with 24 confirmed pukings. The previous record was 16, set way back
in May 2003. Please note: this only
counts confirmed pukings. A confirmed puking is one
that requires clean-up. If someone does it in toilet bowl, or a
trash can, or three blocks away, it doesn't count.
- We got a ticket for littering. A gaggle of inspectors
and cops came by at 1AM on a Saturday night and ticketted us because
there were cigarette butts on our sidewalk. You know, underneath all
of the people smoking, who were still standing there!
- We were instructed that we need to have a candle permit.
Yes, apparently if you ever want to have those little restaurant
candles out on tables, the city expects you to pay them for that.
- Oh, and of course,

- We still haven't found a contractor for the Secret
Construction Project. We've got the permits, but can't find anyone
(licensed) who is willing to actually do the work.
- "Operation: Hang A Sign On The Building" is now entering
the fourth year of its planning stage.
Hey guys, no need to rush it!
Notably absent from that list are any bands. Looks like
the last real band that played here was
The Epoxies in
May! (I'm not counting in my current
definition of band "a dozen MCs and DJs plus one drummer", which is
perhaps not completely fair, but whatever.)
