you know...

I may be all punk and shit, but sometimes I have to admit that there may be no better song that "You make me feel (mighty real)" by Sylvester. If prof_southbay wasn't driving cross country again, I know she'd agree.

unrelatedly: are you going to be out at fsf on sunday? if so, will you just be wandering or will you be stationed somewhere where i can come say hello? it'd be nice to see you there.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

yup, I'll be at the Rainbow booth handing out fruit leather and licorice whips. come by. I'll be there late morning/early afternoon.

[tuliphead.livejournal.com]

where is the Rainbow booth located? i'll come say hello :)

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Here's a map. We're near 11th and Folsom but the pdf thingy isn't working for me right now so I can't tell you exactly.

[tuliphead.livejournal.com]

it didn't even occur to me that the website would have a map of booths and stuff. duh! hopefully i'll see you there. :)

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Yes, I love vinyl.

[jactitation.livejournal.com]

But, uh, you gave that particular bit of vinyl back to me when you brought me my recrods, right? I haven't checked through them yet...

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

yes, I returned it. But it was the last of your records I listened to before I packed 'em up.

All that proves, my dear Gordonzola, is that you have excellent taste, because that is one of the greatest songs of all time.

True story: when I was in Harvey's(?) with the Sisters, I spotted a signed portrait of Sylvester on one of the walls, and I teared up. :o(

see, you need to move here.

[m-dash.livejournal.com]

That is so true. Plus, it always makes me think of the documentary The Times of Harvey Milk, as it was featured prominantly on the soundtrack.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, I forgot. It's been years since I've sat and watched that whole movie. Though I think PBS plays it every June.

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

Not leaving until Thursday...

And of course, I totally agree. Now I feel the need to get a copy of the song so that I can shimmy through North Dakota.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

awwww, think of me when you played Bloc Party for the 50th time in a row.

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. What's truly sick is that Bloc Party released a remixed version of that cd, which I promptly bought. This means I can switch back and forth between the two for hours and hours of my listening pleasure. You created a monster, my friend.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I'll be in Seattle for like a day, you know. around 10/5 I think.

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

I didn't know! That's great. Will I see you? Do you need a place to stay?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

maybe. do you have a place to stay?

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm renting the place where I was staying before. I need to give you the full update sometime soon...

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that's to say that I have plenty of room.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I'd love to stay with you then.

[prof-southbay.livejournal.com]

Yaay! I'll call you in the next couple days. I'm so happy that I'll get to see you.

[zsivanylany.livejournal.com]

i'm jealous! i'm jealous! two of the hottest people i know! ...and you make me curious with dah update reference, my dear...i wanted to call you anyway.

[jette.livejournal.com]

awww, I saw a whole biography about Sylvester in the bookstore recently.

That song means so much to me.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

an under-appreciated star. except maybe here. I love it.

[badgerbag.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Have you heard the sondra bernhardt piece that incorporates it? sort of annoying but hilarious too. I think it's just called "mighty real".

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

That's "Do You Wanna Funk", isn't it? I liked that movie actually. it didn't completely work, but it tried hard.

and I totally embarrassed myself yesterday at work. I saw someone who looks like your icon pic and asked them if it was you. Try asking someone if they're "Badgerbag" at random and see the reaction!

[sparkle-shortz.livejournal.com]

Sylvester in general--*swoon*!

I personally think Sylvester is punk as fuck, are you kidding?

[m-dash.livejournal.com]

Or funk as puck?

[sparkle-shortz.livejournal.com]

AHA! Good one.

[whittles.livejournal.com]

hola,

Just saying a hello - met you at Folsom through rivetpepsquad. I was the one in the chain mail bra who ate your potato chips.
Hope you had a good FsF!

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Hey there!

Yeah, I was gonna come find you online but hadn't had a chance until now. You and your chain mail were memorable. Good to meet you.
