did anyone see the not-star-jones lady interviewing the killers before the show? so painful. she was asking them questions like 'who do you think will be the next american idol?' and if they had brought along any "girlies" to the show. they were looking at her like she was speaking a foreign language. also, what's better than an ambien when you want to fall asleep? watching Bono perform. snore.
anyway, it's funny how after taking a day or two off from posting, i find myself with tons of things to put up here. like, for example, a photo of the invite to j.lo's ridiculously-hard-to-get-into fashion show that ended up in my apartment. i especially like the part where they say 'only the FLY need apply'. and that "fly" is italicized.
so silly. in other news, diamond nights (aka: the band i continually hype because i know they're going to be huge someday) is playing at rothko tomorrow. be there or be square. maybe you'll even see quentin tarantino.
i also got invited to a funny maxim party thursday night. i'll be at the mercury lounge for the lansing-dreiden show, but otherwise i might stop by just to see what all the mystery is about...

and this may not be new news, but i just heard that cinderella, quiet riot, and ratt will be playing at the trump taj mahal in atlantic city this summer as part of their rock never stops tour. hilarious.
You better check this 1aeon dude out before promotin him cuz he owes lots of people bigtime. He ripped off all his old customers on ebay last summer, got them to pay thousands for his stuff and never sent it. 1aeon claimed he wuz robbed then he got kicked off ebay for not paying up. Thats why he can afford all this new material and his website and all. just check out ebay. The day before he wuz kicked off he changed his ebay id to "beenrobbednowdone" thinkin he wuz slick. he figured no one would put two and two together and realize hes the same thief. just check out his id history though he wuz 1aeon from 6-4-04 then changed it to beenrobbednowdone 7-23-04. See he thinks everyone will really think cuz he wuz supposedly robbed (ya riiiiight) that his business is "done", then he surfaces with all this dough and a hot new biz 6 months later. what a con.
