Friday 231

Slather it on me, butter side down.

Working this weekend. Library and swim class. Potty training. Oh yes oh yes.

buddy's cottage, SO is in EUrope, just purchased 2 years worth of music.

I'm going to utilize my piss formula to fuck with everyone at the cottage.

Saw Bill Burr at the Royal Albert Hall in March and been meaning to visit a comedy club at some point since. We have tickets to check one out tomorrow night.

As if I really need to say this, but his new special is worth a watch. The venue is amazing.

I love live comedy. I will never go to NYC without hitting up The Comedy Cellar for some lulz. In the summer Judd Apatow did a surprise set, totally testing some writing for a project. Was awesome!

bill burr is my fav... my girlfriend hates him. i took her to see him once

Yeah saw him a few years ago. Very long show, but excellent.

I'm seeing Fort Romeau tonight. I've wanted to see him for a while, but the overall party could be a bit dodgy, so I'm mentally debating exactly how hard to hit it. The weather is going to be pure liquid shite for the rest of the weekend though, so I won't be missing much if I go full hammer.

Someone's in full super mom mode. Did you get the minivan yet?

Ah sick, love Fort Romeau! Saw him in the D one year.

Ew never. I just bought another small car, in fact.

Just found out he's only playing for 90 minutes. Shitbag promoters. I'm not writing my weekend off for an hour and a half.

That is so lame. I love how 4 hours is now considered an extended set, when that used to be the norm, or bare minimum.

I'm trying to be a good boy tonight, but I've decided fuck it after a few beers at the pub. Checking out Dubfire tonight for what they're promoting as an extended set. Will get four if I'm lucky lol. Not a huge fan of the layout of the venue (good sound though) either. I'm hoping he brings out a cool crowd to make up for it. Have never heard him play live and always wanted to. Fingers crossed.

Are you still going to go, just not go as hard at it?

I'm still annoyed about the time he was playing less than a kilometer from my flat and I discovered it the next morning

Baby room prep, record shopping, and a 20th anniversary party for Ghostly w/ Audion, Lusine, Galcher Lustwerk, Gold Panda, Shigeto, Telefon Tel Aviv and more.

Yeah, I'll go, but I'm not really in the mood at the moment. Just found out a friend-half- friend is going who's a bit of a gobshite. One of those tedious people who just wise cracks constantly, mainly for his own entertainment, bulldozing over normal conversation.

UGHHHH. I hate people who are always "on". Fuck off, just be normal ffs.

Yea, I'm curious to see how comedians work material in a smaller club. This will be my first time checking it out in that context. I was never a fan of British humo(u)r, but it's grown on me. Hopefully I don't feel a huge disconnect tomorrow and understand almost everything lol.

Hopefully it won't rain too much this weekend, although we can use some rain.
Football match with the boys tomorrow, visiting parents as friends had to cancel a visit.
When it's dry we will visit "75 years of liberty � Belgium Remembers", an U.S. Army tent camp just across the border near Maastricht.

How long you been living in London? I've been there twice, staying around 2 weeks each leg. City is pricey as fuck. We always get the Oyster card first thing in order to get around at a reasonable cost and ease, otherwise cab rates would be $1000 a trip

For a little more than two years.

The cost of black cabs is borderline criminal. But they have helped me out a few times in a pinch. London is pricey, but so is New York, Los Angeles, etc. Florida is dirt cheap, and you get what you pay for. We live in a really nice area, along the river, close to the center yet far enough to enjoy a little peace and quiet. Not complaining. London has become a home I've slowly fallen in love with. And I feel that a little more every time I land at Gatwick from a trip abroad.

Oh, come on, they're not that expensive. I took two yesterday; �10 each way, that's the equivalent of 4-5 pints.

Are cabs still popular over there? The taxi industry in Australia is failing badly since Uber et al. turned up several years ago. It's kind of a shame for the drivers, and particularly for the cab owners. A taxi license used to be seen as an investment, and were worth over half a million dollars. Suddenly, they're not worth shit.

On my way to a meeting yesterday, 8 or 9 cabs drove past me, with customers, before an empty one came up, so, yeah, I'd say they're still pretty popular. It helps the industry that a lot of people are either tourists or can expense it for business.

I do laugh that, despite all the talk of 'The Knowledge' and cabbies knowing everything, they never know the park right next to my flat. In zone fucking one.

Taxi licences / medallions are a weird thing. I 100% agree with the licencing rules for cabs, insofar as checking out that people can drive and are not criminals, but in so many cities they have just become monopoly tokens, raising prices to extreme degrees and limiting supply. Uber's biggest advantage, imo, was allowing Millennials to get cabs without actually talking to anyone, using an app, but they also got around the monopoly rent-abusing, which has been a huge plus for consumers (not to mention everyone else, considering how it lowers drunk driving).
