Dear Minneapolis……

Posted by topher On July - 31 - 2009

Dear Minneapolis,

Have you ever had those times when you realize you haven’t been social, or seen other human beings for say, several weeks?  Well, maybe just about 2 weeks in my case.    It’s a strange and frightening feeling waking from a to-do pile induced coma.  Kind of like that time you wanted to get into that fraternity and drank that unknown substance that made you instantly vomit all over the diaper they made you wear, passed out and then woke up hours later tied to the dean’s door completely naked…..or is that just me, too?

I just wanted to let you know, that I’m still thinking of you and love you.  That’s what I do.  Sometimes it’s physical and sometimes it’ll be just a subtle twinge in the eye, but always know that I want to make the love with you.  Deep, loving love that only true lovers can feel.

My life should be back to normal now, and you’ll be hearing more from me now.  I wish it was different, but I was forced to neglect you my love.  Would you like to see me in a pair of bikini thong panties with poppies all over??  No?  Okay, that’s cool….I’ll let you watch one of my recent favs on YOUTUBE then.  He reminds me of one of my voices….

Mindless Banter from Juicetime #9

Posted by juice On July - 27 - 2009

Well I can’t believe this shit. The top party school ranks just came out and #1 makes no sense.. I have partied with lots of people from Penn State and they can’t drink. Three beer wonders with the occasional superstar. They are no good at drinking games and their women out drink the guys. I mean who did they blow to get #1 on this list? Obviously I am a bit bias because I live in Madison, WI. Which known as a top party school every year, but really Penn State!?! They have nothing compared to what Badger country has (except maybe frats and nobody cares about those losers). So here is the 2009 list.

Mindless Banter from Juicetime #7

chooglin

Chooglin had their CD release two weekends ago at The Entry in Minneapolis, I am curious if anyone out there was able to make to the show? The last time they played at The Entry they were at max capacity and that was the end of the story. I want some details if you got them.

Anyways, I am heading back to my hometown this weekend for a friends wedding and my high school reunion. I can’t believe it has been ten years all I have to show for it is a beer gut and a hole in my chest. I’m still living at home and unemployed hahahahahaha.

I really hope everyone out there is spreading the word about us. I mean seriously we are trying to promote your local scene to the masses. Our staff really enjoys doing all of these things for your entertainment(which we assume is being done at work). Don’t forget we do have the live 24/7 that is full of your favorite artists. Soon enough we will have DJ on the feed along with the podcasts. There is so much shit planned for this site that we are going to be really busy until the Vikings win a Super Bowl(to which then the World implodes).

Other than that I am really pumped for the Vampire Hands and Sleeping in Aviary show at the High Noon Saloon here in Madison. If been looking forward to seeing VH for the first since Topher introduced them to me.
