UPDORKUMED: now with screen grabs and chewy trivia goodness.
Hey, remember Flipper? The legendary SF punk band? They’re back, they even have a MySpace page. You might recognize the bass player, it’s former Pilsen resident and Lamprey stalwart Rachel Thoele. She’s replacing Krist Novoselic, who you might remember from Nirvana…
Here’s a YouTube video of her second appearance with the band-Flipper @Amoeba



Just picked up a used replacement for my phone. Needs charging. Hope it works. This is the third replacement in 4 weeks-if you count the sold out “free” replacement from my telco. I really want this to work-if it doesn’t I’m going to cry. And then I’m going to lay down and die. My life is tied to phones and computers, without them I have no life or work.
I just received an email from my cellphone company that the “free” phone i ordered and paid for to replace my malfunctioning one is sold out. They will credit my account. But since I already re-upped my contract to get the discount on this phone, I’m no longer eligible for the discounted/free phones. I am going to have to waste time dealing with this tomorrow. Can anyone loan me a phone so I can call my cellphone company?
It’s true, Mr. Fripp says so here.
This is a shameless plug for a friend. John “Blood” Unger makes the best damn firebowls in America, possibly the world. He makes them by hand, from recycled materials, in a small town in northern MIchigan. And you can now get them from the FFEJWORLD Amazon store. Prices start at $99 bucks (without shipping). Please help John put catfood on the table, he and Mojo will thank you.
