after ivan
so what's left of ivan came and went, up here on lookout mountain. we didn't lose power until this morning when i was brushing my teeth and even then it was only for about 15 minutes. there was however hard rain and heavy wind all night long and the french doors that lead to our front porch kept blowing open. even now it appears that our internet service provider is running on backup generator power. one of their base stations is up on the mountain and was down for a few hours this morning. that said, i think chattanooga faired pretty well for being in the direct path of the storm. the photo? this pair of shoes has been sitting in the driveway for nearly a year now filling up with water and drying out with each passing storm.
...
today is morris yaegashi's birthday. he's gonna kick me for announcing it so publicly, but seeing as last year it was almost forgotten i wasn't about to let that happen again. i'm working on plans for a night out with him - maybe dinner and drinks? any of you locals have suggestions and can we get a crowd together to celebrate?
friday free mp3: in memory of johnny ramone who died on wednesday i give you Blitzkrieg Bop. i actually saw the ramones on their last world tour my freshman year at covenant at the atlanta big day out with old school buddies joel knutson, rachel kennedy, jill smith, matt monahan, karen bennett and joel cell, among others. (geez, talk about a trip down memory lane. i think matt and joel got kicked out for starting a bonfire?)
and finally, a point of clarification: a number of people have asked why i was signing papers for the new church building. no, i don't have a secret stash of funds or a swiss bank account with which i can buy large tracts of commercial property. actually, at one of our last congregational meetings i somehow ended up on the cornerstone board of trustees thanks to some quick nominating and seconding by josiah and frederick. at the time it just seemed kind of silly but it has turned out to be very helpful for the church since i seem to have a much more flexible schedule than many of the other board members.
I recommend St John's meeting place, or what about that new Japanese/sushi place on main street? What time is this all going down tonight?
Posted by: charity at September 17, 2004 11:05 AMI've been looking for those shoes...
Posted by: KIko at September 17, 2004 11:15 AM"the meeting place" would be cool, but i'd be worried that we have too big of a group? maybe we could end up there afterwards for drinks? maybe dinner somewhere with outside seating like las margaritas? i should probably run this by morris first...
Posted by: andy at September 17, 2004 11:16 AMI don't know about you but when I think of sushi chattanooga is the first place I think of.
BTW since this is the weekend, what do you expect from a bunch of Vol fans
Posted by: Dan at September 17, 2004 11:29 AMThat does bring back memoirs. Some others that were there include Steve Wycoff and Summer Ray Clark. Other bands were Silver Chair, Blind Melon, Dance Hall Crashers, and Cake. I can't even remember a Dance Hall Crashers song. Joel Sell got kicked out for the fire incident, and Matt left with him to be nice. There were a lot of people there because I think I charged 14-17 tickets on my credit card.
Happy B-day Morris
Posted by: Joel K at September 17, 2004 11:34 AMkiko makes a good point (via email) about morris' hatred for cilantro. perhaps durty nelly's would be a better venue? its usually pretty quiet in there on the weekends and we can jam quite a few around a table.
Posted by: andy at September 17, 2004 11:45 AMparty late, ok? so i can join you after i get off work, of course. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORRIS!
Posted by: bethany at September 17, 2004 12:42 PMdoesn't brent's birthday come up soon as well? he too is trying to hide that one. do any of his roommates know for sure when it is?
Posted by: bethany at September 17, 2004 12:45 PMDurty Nelly's seems like a good plan... Perhaps we could find one of those rediculously fake Japanese steakhouses. You know how much the Jap loves steak.
Posted by: mesh at September 17, 2004 01:07 PMalright it's confirmed with the jap himself - 7:00-ish at durty nelly's. after that we'll head somewhere for further drinks and digression. bring gifts and good feelings -- cash is always appreciated. ;)
Posted by: andy at September 17, 2004 01:13 PMI am offended that you used the word "Jap"
I am also offended when anyone uses the words, "Vols", "Peyton Manning", "Bullfdogs" "Seminoles", "Canes" (Miami not Purple) and anything deragotory about the Evil Genius or Danny
Posted by: Dan at September 17, 2004 02:02 PMYeah, I hate bullfdogs too.
Posted by: ryan at September 17, 2004 02:23 PMandy -- can you pass along a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to morris for me? hope you guys have fun!!
those shoes are too nice of a brand to be sitting out in the rain. What size are they?
Posted by: Katie at September 17, 2004 02:27 PMhappy burfday morris. have a fried pickle for me.
Posted by: jerah at September 17, 2004 03:36 PMHAPPY BIRTHDAY MORRIS!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Morris Yaegashi: the one person everyone can agree on
happy birthday moyo, I miss you.
Posted by: JosiahQ at September 17, 2004 04:29 PMAndy, how do you make a photo of old shoes and a photo of sliced tomatoes look equally seductive? You should think about publishing a 365 day picture calendar. Although I would probably cheat and look at all the pictures in a week. You make seratonin pulse through my synapses.
