Posted in Drinks, chicago with tags , , , , , on December 22, 2007 by eyelinerrobot

Eyelinerrobot walks into a bar sits down next to a pirate.

ER- Why the long face, matey?

Pirate- Yarr, I can’t find a saloon or shanty hole in the whole city that can tap me a mug of mead! I haven’t had a drink in a week and if I wasn’t so plagued by me scurvy I would run every one of these turtle-neck wearing swabs through!

ER-Everyone in Lincoln Park wears those, they think it protects them from vampires.

Pirate- Whassat?

ER- Nothing! Hey, know what? I’ve got a little something that can solve both your problems.

Pirate- A repeating musket?

ER- No, silly! It’s a Caipirinha!

Preliminary Review- Duran Duran- Red Carpet Massacre

Posted in chicago, music with tags , , , , , , , on December 12, 2007 by eyelinerrobot

For those of us in the Chicagoland area tomorrow something very special is happening. Duran Duran are signing the new album “Red Carpet Massacre” at the Best Buy at 1000 w. North Ave at 6:30. Buying the new album will get you a priority place in line. I haven’t heard the album yet, but will get back to you with a review once I get my meaty ear-hooks into it. In the mean time, shine up you nicest shoes and prepare to wait in line with a gaggle of soccer moms in high (oh so high) jeans and hair they poofed out for the occasion. If Simon likes your kicks enough he might share a line with you in the bathroom. One can dream.

This site guarantees awesome and seizures. These are two of my favorite things.

I saw this live at an art showing in Chicago a couple years ago.

These guys have a very nice sound. BoysNoize are indeed boys, and they make that noise. I saw them at Smartbar. It was rather nice.
