Jake Vaughan: Films, Parties, and Porta-Potties

I can't say enough about LOL, directed by Joe Swanberg. The film is innovative in so many ways and though it may be a little rough around the edges at times, that adds to its charm and its revolutionary new genre: internet-love romantic-tragedy. Kevin's music is brilliant, Tippur's acting is fantastic, the story is frightening and funny, and the crew behind and in front of the camera are brave and true. Good luck with the film, guys.

Went to the closing night party last night at a grocery warehouse that doubles as a nightclub. Sleater-Kinney played... never heard them before (I'm a music retard), but they were great. But I must be getting old because the thought that kept running through my head was, "how come it's so f*#king loud?! If they just turn everything down just a little bit, I'd be able to listen to the nuance within the melody, etc etc." Then someone pointed out that everyone who goes to these concerts is either deaf or has cotton in their ears, so the band HAS to play loudly. I'm the idiot who forgot his cotton.

Porta-Potties are communal. You wait in line with friends that have to pee like you. But nobody talks about that. It's the white elephant in the room who's taking a dump on the coffee table and yet nobody wants to bring it up. Or maybe everyone's talking about it and I just can't hear them because the band is so fucking loud.
