i want to go to the Henri David Ball this year and i’m going to really spiff up my Jersey Devil costume for it. is anyone else interested in going? it’s probably one of the best Halloween celebrations in the area and it’s the 40th anniversary.

i’ll even drive!

are playing at the church on october 26th and Mercury Radio Theater is opening – i saw them years ago and loved the shit outta them! is anyone interested in going??

This past Sunday, my sister, Britt, her (not)boyfriend, Steve, and their dog loaded up their $3,000 RV that they bought and fixed up and set off on a four month road trip to California. They apparently have plans to hit several locations across the US, stay with lots of of people, and then sell their RV in California to buy plane tickets to Hawaii. Once they’re in Hawaii, they’ll be using couchhoppers.com to find couches to sleep on until they get jobs and find their own place.

Wish ‘em luck and hope they don’t die.

tonight, 6pm at the Gershman Y on Broad & Pine.

He has survived another year. How many episodes of ‘The Hills’ lie in his future? Not many.

For getting enfuckinggaged!

One more year closer to dying
Body organs ripping, frying
Biological discordance
Birthday equals self-abhorance
R S V P Please
For the death of me
You have little time
You’re running out of life

(a day early cause I’m afraid I’ll forget tomorrow)

Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for President on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

i don’t care what your opinion on either man is, you have to admit that it’s a pretty amazing and fantastic milestone.

i just found out that Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will be playing the Electric Factory on October 7th! tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10. anyone interested? as far as i recall, the EC is all general admission, which rules for dancing as well as one price for all tickets.

kev and i shall be there. Mister Cave hardly ever plays the U.S., let alone Philadelphia. alix, why the hell aren’t you going to be here?!

It was yesterday, but I figured I’d make a post. Because she is more than 1/4 dead, even optimistically.

I think?

Try not to think about how your youth is receding faster than dad’s hairline. Or how we’ll all die soon and how you, being female and the youngest, are more likely to outlive everyone else in our family, living alone and, of course, poor.

It’s March 14th! How many digits of Pi do you know?

You’re aces, kid!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I missed his actual birthday because apparently he was at something he was calling a lemon party? I dunno. Something I guess old folks like him are into.

Have you?

come party in south philly and see the band i’m playing with, Relentless Humans featuring casey, marty, patrick and me

9:00 p.m. 1709 Tasker Ave

If Gosia lets me, I am totally doing this and you should do. The whole scrabbled should be all ‘stache. We’ll be collectively ‘staching it, if you will. Remember who coined that phrase when it becomes the Word of the year 2008.

Possibly in it’s 3rd year, Steve’s Solstice Salmagundi is coming up, this time not on a weekday, so maybe people will come. And by people, I mean even more of Steve’s friends who are all graduate level math majors I just stand there and listen to debate equations and talk shit on professors.

Luckily there is an impossible amount of insane beers. And there’s usually a musical performance by myself, but that only seems to keep away my own friends who hate my music. (The math majors politely ignore it.) So please come and give me someone to talk to besides Christy who goes to bed at 10 anyway, and when the math guys leave it’s just me and Steve and he starts talking about how much he loves the Virgin Mary and I call him a fucking asshole who doesn’t understand me and never did.

So you don’t wanna miss that. But I DO. Please come.

Three years in a row now it’s been the most fun party of the whole year. $30 cover for open bar all night and great music. WHO’S IN?!

I hung out with him. I have his bowling score in my phone. He gave me his approval with his fist. I am awesomest.

25 years old? Barf… I don’t even want to look at you because your wrinkles might make me vomit.

my fantastic limey husband is one year older today – you know what that means – almost worm food, right?

If anyone’s interested, Jonah Matranga will be playing at the open mic night i run each Wednesday at the Roadhouse in Barrington. He’s been in bands: Far, New End Original, Gratitude. He’s also done solo stuff under the name onelinedrawing.

It’s this Wednesday at 8pm. Sliding scale tix prices: $6-$12. Also, bring your stuff to give out, as it will be our special ‘musicans’ night.

Or at least, I will in 2 hours. Come see me? HOME OWNER!!!2

We are back from an awesome weekend in lovely Scranton! Read below for a description and link to our pictures.

I’m going to the new Terminal5 venue in New York City tonight. Has anyone been to an M.I.A. show before? I was wondering if there was a boatload of dancing. Because I am all about dancing tonight. Ow!

This is just a reminder to please come to my Halloween party on October 27th. There will be lots of food/liquor/pumpkins/fun/etc. If you need directions, you can email me at rachelack@gmail.com.

Bring your friends! I want it to be big! And if 3 people show up I’ll be crying into my orange and black Jell-O shots.
