what’s all this, then? why the lebowski (s)talk? i’m just wondering if we (or some other sufficiently nerdy contingent) could/would put together a “westfest” or “matsfest”. hear me out.

i am loathe to admit that i like rush. most of you know that already. i have never gone, mind you, but rush has a yearly thing called “rushcon” or some damn thing. additionally, rush has these:

(i am looking at my own versions of these right now – deduct cool points accordingly)

i look at it thusly: if rush can have a yearly “convention” and bobble heads, why not the replacements? if a movie (albeit, a good movie) can have a successful yearly get together & action figures, why not the replacements?

i call bullshit on the notion that it wouldn’t work for a band like the replacements. i just don’t want anything to do with the planning. oh, and please make sure the first “con” happens in mpls so i don’t have to travel.

get to it.

p.s. i just had delicious jimmy john’s for lunch, and goddamn they are freaky fast.

p.s.s. voila! content!

by all accounts, paul is like me: someone who doesn’t listen to the voice of reason, someone who doesn’t “get” blogging, someone who already doesn’t like us. well, i like us, but why would he? we’re blogging for him for christ’s sake. the man doesn’t even have an official website.

*waits for snickering to subside*

i mean, he didn’t like us when we were a scary monolyth. he didn’t like us when we went over the lightside. he definitely didn’t like us when we went dark or when we turned lesbian.

still, we are here, to us this is dear – get used to it.

anyone who selflessly gives us something as wonderful as…

… deserves this i think. i’ll do what i can. i have already surprised myself.
