Yeah, but that's not surprising. I mean, it isn't as if either Bick-O-Nine or Mest is anything special. (Sorry, Kevin.) But, add They Might Be Giants (which I always initially type as They Might Be Ginats, without fail) to Friday's list of shows and it looks like a great rock 'n' roll Fall.

Tonight, Mustard Plug at St. Andy's! Woohoo! Okay, yeah, MP isn't anything great, but I always have a good time at their show and they always make me think about Lindsay (because her first ska show was the Plug at the Blind Pig; I have to say, inviting her to that show, which lead to all the other shows, was one of the best ideas I've ever had).
Anybody else out there in BTW Land rocking this weekend? Upcoming shows? Here in the Great Lakes State we've got RBF, TMMB, and - so I've been told - The Ataris all coming up before Christmas. Kick ass.

Ummmmmm, next Friday. Not tomorrow, but October 4. By the way, I thought they were funny when I first read them, but they look absolutely hilarious in The Newsletter.

When they come for me I'll be sitting at my desk,
With a gun in my hand wearing a bullet-proof vest,
My my my how the time must fly,
When you know you're gonna die by the end of the night.

Okay, I know how to fix your nickname (for instance, right now Zach's posts are attributted to "Skip" not "Skip Carmichael"). Once you've logged in and you're at the edit-view page, click on the TEAM button to the upper right. Then click on your name to see your profile. Modify the catagory NICKNAME until it is as you wish your name to appear, the save that change to your profile and return to the edit-view page. Submit a post (do you guys have the ability to edit?) and publish. Once you've published your new nickname should appear.
In my case, my new nickname is merely a restoration of the old one: Mike Wilson. (I'd be happy to go with "The Last Angry Man" - if fact, it would be kind of cool if we all went by our nicknames: K. Steeze, Bald Mountain, The Professor, The All-American Boy - but if I do that for the BTW Blog, then in my personal blog, my posts will also show up as being written by "The Last Angry Man" and I don't want that for The Secret Base.)

We didn't go to trivia night. It turned out neither Zach nor I could make it. No Art Truck for us. Even before we discovered it, Art Truck was destined to be a BTW favorite. Why? Because you can't spell Art Truck without ruck.

Fucking Blogger has been down all week. No, I don't know why our names are now different. I wish the fuckers who run this shit would up and die, though. Yes, Blogger is free, but bad customer service should be a capital offense. I emailed their support people. I got an auto reply directing me to the support part of the webpage. When I got to the support part of the webpage, it told me to email the support people. Fuckers!

I don't know about you cats, but I'm just a tad bit sick of this Error 503 runaround.

Oh, come on, 11.11.11. The eleventh second of the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour! It's rad. Well, fine, don't like it. See if I care. Rassom frassom Philistines.

How cool is the post below? "11.11.11" I (unintentionally) kick ass.

Zach and David: I hold in my greasy hands three tickets to RBF at Clutch Cargo's on October 10. Woo hoo!

Would someone else blog, please? You people aren't even trying!

From now on each group of people that participates in trivia night at Conor O'Neill's will have a different name. Olive! is the designation for the group of Katie Groat, Zach Nie, Kevin Stermer, and Mike Wilson. Even if three out of four member of Olive! are present, they cannot use the name. I'm looking forward to some neat-o names. And thanks to Katie for designating out team as Olive!
I can't believe Kevin's already going back. Man, this sucks.

My sincerest thanks to the Bald Mountararat, 100%, B. Howard, and Sam I Am for the truly wonderful time I had at their party. Happy birthday, Ben. It was a gathering of perfect proportions; anytime you feel like hosting another, I will be very excited. I'll see some of you guys tonight at Conor's.

Okay, I think the only way to change my handle from "Mike Wilson" to "Samurai Driver" would be to stop using the Mike Wilson profile, and create a new, Samurai Driver profile. This I am not exactly willing to do. So *sigh* I shall have to remain Mike Wilson. I'll be fine, though, since Mike Wilson is indeed the Samurai Driver. Art Truck rules!

What's the fun of owning chickens if you can't count them? Besides, what's wrong with counting your chickens before they hatch? If some of them don't hatch, either do the math to determine the new number, or just count them again after they've hatched. We're not talking rocket science here, folks.
