Really Bad Music
The elmwood art festival had really bad music today. I will put it on the radio so you can hear it. My favorite was Beer makes you fart, and drinking is an art. Th guy who was singing most of these songs really was bad . Hr followed a an entire day of honey-tonk and bluegrass.

The strange part is that he was talking about a song of his and how people were playing it at an afterparty, following the allentown art festival/chameloen fest. I think he was talking about (e:keith) 's party. Check it out.

Side-tracked
I really got side tracked this weekend, both getting ready for school and celebrating (e:terry) 's birthday. I fixed the stylebox so that it inserts styles where the cursor is located in the entry. I also added the weather box so you can check on local conditions. If you have a smaller screen scroll right, it just to the right of the Last 12 list.

What's Up for the Festival
So people are coming to the estrip headquarters tomorrow for Terry's actual birthday, but instead of the usual nighttime party, this one will be during the day for the festival. The stage is right outside our house. Stop by and chillax [search]chillax[/search]

On another note [inlink]metalpeter,96[/inlink], I think those are great ideas. Now we just need people to implement them. It's a weird issue, but I made the site in order to make sharetheir local community experience and if I direct the advertising, then inevitably, the people are somewhat targeted by my taste. I would like to see the site expand in a direction where it is slightly more diverse. While our male/female ratio is quite balanced, we don't seem to have much other diversity. How about some spanish speaking journals. We can all translate via the babelfish.

It would be easiest if everyone made their own advertisements. We would end up with a lot more people, and most likely, a lot more fun. Maybe it should be a competition for the most creative/ sucessfull type of advertising?

Don't blame the protesters
(E:hodown) , it is not the protessters who are to blame. Blame the republicans for making the convention in NYC.

The protesters are not just going to have a fun time. They are going their to voice their opinions and opposition in the most public way and to show the world via mega media outlets that we as americans will not longer stand for George Bush's war mongering jingoism. Its something our country was built on.

By getting mad at them, you are doing the same thing your boss did to you.
I can't believe you really feel that way. What has happened to jessica, the not corporate robot version, I want her back. New York City is eating your soul. Did you ever think NYC was going to be an easy place to live. You moved there after 9-11 and worked next to the giant hole in the ground. That hole in the ground was the result of policies made, like those of our current administration. You can't just idley ignore the world. The protestors are working to try and make it so we don't have more attrocities like this in the future.

NYC will never be free of this type of drama. You should just leave if you can't handle it.

Computers and Meetings
Here I am a (e:soyeon) 's house. We have a meeting at the university today. I am glad I called her, because she was sleeping still!
While I was here I got to see jesse's old powerbook. It looked quite messed up as you can see. About the same as my old powerbook had looked after it met it's 40oz demise.
He left a couple messages on it. One said I don't have the genetic code.. That's good to know because I was just going to ask him for a copy. Maybe he is trying to tell us he is a robot.
Roxy's was crazy last night. It was also my first time seeing such a show. Just about everyone I look forward to seeiing on Thursday's turned out at some point in the evening. But the show was definately the highlight of the evening.
