in other blogs: blockparty mostly, with a side of thunder and eggwiches

- Reports of the demise of hot breakfast sandwiches (which were actually a little bit delicious) may have been exaggerated. [starbucksgossip]
- Oh, BTW, Conor Oberst is playing a free show at Easy Street next week. [tig]
- Goodbye Sonics, Hello THUNDER. [crosscut]
- The sort of unofficial block party will be inside the block party at the Cha Cha and the Comet. [nwmusicblog]
- Part of the Block Party, including Chromeo, will be on the internet. [ChordStrike]
- Bless the “livebloggers” for their tenacious enthusiasm and workaholic tendencies, but if someone’s not into a festival enough to attend themselves why do they want to read minute-by-minute updates online?

- Maybe there’s a No Age houseparty sometime this weekend? Please please please tell me when and where, OK? It will be our little secret, I swear. [seattlesubsonic]

Amen!
of course, part of that question is me wanting to justify my own laziness — both as a reader and as a writer.

1. I’m so excited about that breakfast sandwich thing… now if they’d just bring back almond syrup… *sigh*
2. Liveblogging has never interested me- except when I’m at the event. And even then, I’d rather attend and pay attention that be goofing off on my laptop/crackberry whatever to read what people are saying about what’s currently happening…
Give me a freaking break. These machines are marvels of modern technology. Maybe some people should just drop their anti-military rhetoric for a day or two and enjoy a little bit of advanced technology. Then, after the celebration you can go back to hating on the military and talking about how much carbon these jets put into the atmosphere thus contributing to our ultimate demise.
efiftythree my objection to the blue angels isn’t related to sentiments about the military, carbon emissions, money, or the modern technology of the late twentieth century. It’s simply that I am frightened fighter jets flying through cities, outside my office windows, and above my apartment.
