  1. So where are the obligatory Highest Pass in CA / Mono Lake Pictures?, you know like
  2. Happy Birthday David!, Enjoy your Paleo Birthday "Cake"
  3. Reminded me of Dune Lager and Galiano. Add sand and worms as desired from CUSFS Drinks List
  4. I mentioned Amsterdam, both in jest, and seriously. Do we want to use an airport hotel at the weekend, on the basis we should be able to get a cheap block booking? (and soundproofing) (as opposed to an "in town" hotel) Pros: International Hub airport, served by international high speed rail links, with local 15min train service to Amsterdam itself - "Central" location for Europe. The many attractions of Amsterdam itself. (Think of our extra curricular interests - I'd hazard a guess that all can be met) "They all speak English" - Helpful for monolingual Americans, and being Europeans, unlike Brits, probably are fluent in several other languages for our European Chums. Cons: Costs as yet unknown vs Other European candidate locations. Critical mass of local, on the ground staff unknown as yet vs Other European candidate locations. So, what are the requirements? Who are we catering for? How do we end up with the lowest weighted cost for attendee's given their number, and where they are travelling from? I think Brussels is another cheap major hub - obviously direct flights from US makes the whole process easier for the US contingent. If it can be held in an interesting tourist location, then it may be possible to pitch the trip as a starting point for a European Vacation for those that need to justify a European trip ... Anyway, just some some thoughts
  5. It shouldn't need to refresh the media if you haven't updated the filesystem / unmounted / mounted / changed the msdhc card. One solution to the battery life is to carry 2 and treat the second (charged) player as you spare battery or fire up the 2nd machine so it can "refresh the media" before you need to listen to it . Voila - double the capacity !

    In the meantime, these seem strangely familiar ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO5j3epzeZs&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMJ9vGBavxE&feature=player_embedded

    Thanks for all the kind words. @Voltron: Yeah, maybe because Peter had taken all the good shots at CJ. @Ausburger: It is the Robie House, and we got to see inside as well, so more of FLW details. @agile_one: We had a fun time playing tourists. Lou Mitchell's - great breakfasts indeed. Mind you, the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes with pecan butter at the Bongo Room, South Loop weren't too shabby, either (Chicago Foodies: Bongo Room) Just saw the ladies enjoying themselves on the bronze bull, and then later in the week everyone suddenly seemed to become a redhawks fan (and proud of it) for some reason that escapes me
  10. In my day, we had all our data stored locally, and that's the way we liked it!

    Some Can Jam Shots, from the album
  13. All this pre-order anguish is starting to sound like JH13/JH16 "Order waiting" thread - Head-Fi.org Community Maybe some wise words from Dusty may be equally applicable

    Nice Work, Squire!
  18. Strange-ish location. Handy for Ikea, or if you come by Amtrak I suppose. Aways from the newly opened Five Guys though
  19. That's already been tried. It wasn't too popular. Maradona’s Hand of God Goal - AbhiSays.com Argentina v England (1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diego Maradona 'Hand of God' Goal Recap - Diego Maradona - Zimbio
  20. It just works! * For small values of "works", as in "it works, just"
  21. Architectural River tour in Chicago, in light drizzle, and drifting low cloudbase. Missed the match ( but didn't miss much by all accounts). Mildly delayed flight to The Bay Area. Now back to reality after the CJ Bubble and Vacation/Eating in Chicago. Good Lobster Club at Fox & Obel. Nice Brunch at The Bongo Room. Tasty Tony's Three Chili Chicken at Lao Sze Chuan. Did I miss any interesting discussions
  22. Made it to Gino's East (North Wells Street) tonight, Small Supreme (4 Slices) with Crumbled Sausage was just right for Joanne and I. Mmmmmmm
  23. Is Wayne a lesbian trapped in a man's body? That might explain some of the behavior at the Pizza Parlor with Polina. Don't ever let him on Sesame Street, though ... bought to you by the letters ...
  24. Reminds me of an old joke, which Steve has probably heard already Q: Are you a practicing Homosexual? A: I don't need to practice, darling, I'm already perfectly good at it!
  25. Steve, Shelly - It was a pleasure to meet you both at Can Jam, and it speaks volumes that you are comfortable enough here to be your true selves. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area that embraces diversity. Here's looking forward to the day when your announcements would be a non-issue, everywhere.
