Stolen Stuff Alert
This is purely an announcement...hoping this shows up on Google soon.. My iPod and digital camera got stolen July 31, 20008 in Chicago. Probably very little chance of recovering it, but I'll post some serial numbers in case someone Googles it. Email me at info[at]shenny[dot]net . As an incentive if you return the iPod to me, I'll donate what you paid for the iPod to a charity. I just want the iPod back!! iPod video 30GB MA444LL/AModel # A1136 Serial Number S/N # 8K706FTFV9K Part No. # MA444LL/A Was called "Shenny's iPod" (not sure if it's been formatted since). It's a white video iPod but I had a black iSkin over it. If you took off the iSkin, you'll see the iPod lasered with the Edison International logo and probably says Edison International (or Int'l) next to the logo. It means a lot to me since I earned it through achievement points at work.  Casio Exilim EX-S600 BE digital cameraSerial # 9531341a-v Bar Code # 0-79767-68444-0 Color: light blue It had a 2GB memory card inside it along with two 1-GB memory cards inside a green-gray-ish pouch with a rabbit (called Mashimaro) on it. I don't care much for the camera since the photo quality wasn't all that great, but I'd really like to have the memory cards and pouch back. Those can be mailed to me no questions asked and you can keep the camera as reward. Please email me if you have any information. Thanks!! | | Monday, July 28th, 2008 | | 9:02 am |
Manic Monday musing with Starbucks coffee
WTF? This shows up on the Troubadour website for The Subways show I won't be in town for?? (otherwise I'd be there or at the Chain Reaction show). 8:30 pm Special early set by SpacehogWoulda been interesting... Yay, the start of Bloc Party week. Bloc Party at the Glass House today, Lollapalooza, and probably with CSS at the HOB Chicago. For some reason been having dreams about them...actually not about the band but about the show. I think it has to do with the Kele vs. John Lydon stuff. Also no bassist. My Glass House presale ticket is will call so don't feel the need to arrive early since will call always opens when doors open and you end up losing your spot. Though--one time when I had a will call ticket and had to be up front, I made friends with a couple in line and bought them beer for saving us spots up front. They were starving students so glad to be of help :D | | Sunday, July 27th, 2008 | | 10:35 pm |
The Puppy Olympics are coming!!!!
Damn you Time Warner for moving Animal Planet to digital cable! Puppies gear up for own GamesThe Games begin Aug. 8 -- the Puppy Games, that is. After scoring big with "Puppy Bowl," which aired concurrently with the Super Bowl, Animal Planet on Thursday announced that it was expanding the franchise with "Puppy Games 2008," a three-hour special that will air the same night as the Olympics opening ceremony. More than 30 puppies representing different countries -- most of them hailing from Washington, D.C., shelters -- will "compete" in sports such as dog paddling, soccer and gymnastics. A modified version of the special will air Aug. 23, the same weekend as the Olympics closing ceremony. | | Monday, July 21st, 2008 | | 1:20 pm |
So sad...as soon as I heard on the Kevin & Bean show about the Rodney on the Roq ULTRA limited t-shirt, I had to buy a couple right away. Good thing, though, cuz it sold out really fast. Add The Avalon to the list of venues that doesn't like video recording... | | Sunday, June 8th, 2008 | | 12:39 am |

Foxboro Hot Tubs (a.k.a. Green Day) @ Belly Up Tavern - May 26, 2008
One sentence review: Show started off strong with a slightly inebriated Billie Joe Armstrong with 24 oz PBR in hand, jumping into the crowd, stage diving, crowd surfing, getting the whole room involved clapping and arm raising, spraying beer; but lost momentum as kids adults easily jumped or crowd surfed their way on stage and 2-minute songs got stretched to 10 minutes. ( More stuff...sorta ) | | Monday, May 26th, 2008 | | 4:13 pm |
Lines..lines...everywhere lines..
Meh, in line at the Belly Up Tavern at Solana Beach for Foxboro Hot Tubs (a.k.a. Green Day). When we got here around 3:45pm there were already 200 folks in line. Thankfully capacity is 600. And this is a 21 and over venue! Imagine what it'll be like at The Roxy tomorrow for an ALL AGES venue half the size. Or even Alex's Bar on Wednesday with capacity of 187. | | Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | | 10:23 am |
I rely on recorded tv too much...
OH no! My DVR died after two years!!! According to the LG LRM-519 Yahoo Group, these units seem to die after 2 years and may be revived by replacing the capacitors. But what to do in the meantime as I get around to ordering the capacitors and figure out how install them?!?!?! *cries* | | Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 | | 11:29 pm |
Videos of Bryan Adams @ The Roxy - 05/19/2008
Being this was a solo acoustic show, the lighting was on the dark side thus hard to see videos... Summer of '69...apparently not about that time period but the "position" :D Please Forgive MeHeavenHeaven...the story behind the song. Written for a movie about a male stripper :D I actually saw the movie when I was a kid but it was the "edited for tv" version.
*sigh* really wanna see him again :(

Creep(s)
Sorry for the non-NKOTB post. I feel the need to cleanse myself of that matter. Oh yeah, don't mess with Radiohead fans. Though I agree with this: "If you gave even one tiny llama turd about environmental impact, you would never have scheduled a show at a venue 40 miles away from downtown D.C., nowhere near public transportation of any kind." Link to article on celebrity hippy-crites when it comes to going green. | | Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | | 1:49 am |
Yay survived Bamboozle Left, a Warped Tour-like festival. After RX Bandits and Bouncing Souls (yay moshers), we made it to the rail. Too much crowd surfing during New Found Glory especially during that one song about choosing my best friends over you when crowd surfers were over our heads nonstop!!! I saw Hayley of Paramore on the side and she did one Johnny Cash song (I think) with them. Nice to hear Reel Big Fish "Sell Out" from the adjacent stage. They also did a cover of A-Ha's "Take On Me" and a litle "Enter Sandman." Wasn't too rough for Face to Face except for "Disconnected" which KROQ still plays to this day. Thankfully no crowd surfers during Jimmy Eat World! Earlier in the day we passed by their "Official Band Merchandise" booth and they were selling a 3-pack of guitar picks for $10 which had the latest album logo. More bands need to sell their customized picks...they're so hard to catch!! A security guard did gimme one of them after their set. Major props to the security for catching all those crowd surfers and making sure we weren't hurt in the process. For Verizon Amphitheatre parking lot shows (not the regular ones), don't take the left like I did!!! Cuz they make you park on some unpaved trail which will take you forever to get out. I took a one hour nap before noticing cars were actually moving! So I moved my car into the line and got out quickly. My friend took the right and it only took her 5 minutes to get out *sigh* | | Saturday, March 8th, 2008 | | 3:42 pm |

Foo Fighters/Serj Tankian/Against Me! @ Cox Arena, March 3, 2008
Show #1 of the Foo Fighters/Serj Tankian/Against Me! SoCal tour. We arrived at Cox *snicker* Arena around 3pm and NO ONE in line. We walked around a bit, hung around the bridge where you look down at the numerous trucks and tour busses. Saw Tom, the lead singer of Against Me! with his wife (dude, she has her own section on the Alkaline Trio wikipedia page!) and then he sorta rode around on a bike. Later we saw a tour bus arriving with a buncha Foo Fighters members (Dave, Pat Smear, Drew etc). Cox Arena is on the campus of San Diego State so students kept coming up and asking what we were in line for. Doors open. With the exception of the lame metal detectors which kept sounding off with no reason, got in without a hitch. Unlike most arenas, there's only one level of seats at Cox (versus say Colonade and Loge at the Forum). But man, going down those longass set of stairway as fast as you can was like a death drop! Got to the closest baricade stage right next to "runway" at the rail (i.e. best spot in the house).  Hardly anyone inside the arena for Against Me! Dude, I seriously love New Wave and totally rocked out. Sorta surprised they did Borne since Tegan of Tegan and Sara sings on it. During the little intro to Stop!, Tom the lead singer cracked a smile when he saw me and my friend totaling bouncing around (we were right in front of him). Then they do that disco intro to Don't Lose Touch. Unfortunately I hear the opening chords to Ocean and know it's the end of the set. I asked one of the stagehands for the setlist in his hand and got that. Not too long after, I see another setlist floating in the air and managed to catch it (it helped no one really cared to grab it). Since the sticky side of the tape was still exposed, my friend taped it on the rail in front of her so they'd be kept flat. Luckily a pick--surprisingly a customized one!---was stuck to the tape. Yay! Gotta love the green tape with pink paper look!  Serj Tankian was painful to stand through. A lot of talking that didn't make any sense if you never listened to the whole album. Thankfully the crowd was just as apathetic as I. All personal space was gone when the Foos got on stage. A couple jabroni's behind us were getting a bit rough--even one of the Foos security guys warned them. I stuck my elbows out towards them just in case. The pit wasn't too bad though. I've been to a LOT worse. The girl next to my friend was puking! So thankfully, she got fished out of the pit. We couldn't see anything when the band moved to the "acoustic" stage so we resorted to using mirrors just to see what was going on behind us. It would have been nice if they would have fed video to the screens on stage. Show seemed pretty short with being blacked out for 5.5 "acoustic" songs and all the solos and jams. Guess there's more of the latter two in big arena shows. But in general not a big fan of them since they take away from the momentum/flow of the show. Had a similar complaint with Green Day arena shows too with all the interruptions (whereas their American Idiot in its entirety shows were friggin' awesome!), but loved the Paris Hilton sex tape nightcam video with Dave and the setlist before the encore. My friend managed to get a Foos setlist, I caught one of Dave's picks. Afterward we drove to a nearby bar. Didja know hard liquor can't be served within a certain radius of SDSU? WTF? I thought this was a party school! | | Wednesday, February 13th, 2008 | | 7:10 am |
It's a beautiful day...
Anyone interested in seeing U2 3D at an IMAX theatre? I hear it really is like being at one of their shows! Probably better than my nosebleed seat at Staples Center :P Shows in OC >> Shows in LA | | Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 | | 10:39 pm |
