As usual, royalty rules!! hahahahaReplyDelete
Thank you princess,ReplyDelete
Last post from before:
Thought we went over this Chris, I watch games online, and a couple of games are televised here but not broncos games very much.
Ustearm and JustinTV
Oh yea, remember that now. you gave me those sites so I can watch them online.ReplyDelete
No problemo Aussie.ReplyDelete
so how bout them rockies?ReplyDelete
Not doing to bad won they last two games, so starting to hot up.ReplyDelete
but they were both against the Reds.ReplyDelete
But still you got to win to keep going.ReplyDelete
ya you're right, I still don't think they are at the top of their game. they need to execute better if they want the wild card. the Giants are a tough team to beat.ReplyDelete
No they are not but they have to build from somewhere.ReplyDelete
where'd evryone go? I guess everyone really is afraid of baseball.ReplyDelete
Now why would I be afraid of baseball? Nope, it just bores me.ReplyDelete
Seems the baseball scared off the Princess. Well what else do we talk about??ReplyDelete
Who do you think will be the surprise package for the broncos this year?ReplyDelete
What do you mean by surprise package?ReplyDelete
Do the most and was execpted to, for example Jarvis Moss has a 20 sack year.ReplyDelete
Personally I think it will be torain. I see big things for this kid if he is health.
we could talk about bobble heads.ReplyDelete
Torain would be huge if he could stay healthy. He's got too much talent to spend his NFL days on the bench cuz of injuries. If our first rounders ever decide to sign, they could be a surprise for this team too. But at this rate, the world will never know.ReplyDelete
Bobble heads?? Seriously?? LOL
Do you know what would be really funny, a McD bobble head, with his cheeze grin on it.ReplyDelete
Check out this link funny.ReplyDelete
Fire Josh McD
Some people are sad.
Hey gang, a friend (yes, I have a couple) sent me his link to his photobucket. It has todays camp pics AND video that he took.ReplyDelete
can we see it dave?ReplyDelete
Dave posted a blog with the link in it.ReplyDelete
I am here now Samoan and everyoneReplyDelete
This is it SamoanReplyDelete
Roger that! lolReplyDelete
Haha the samoan is in the building, who do you follow in the NRL, the Warriors?ReplyDelete
I follow them but not as close as I use to. I was a huge Manly fan but Super league came in and stuffed it up for me.ReplyDelete
Oh so you just follow but not a die hard have to see every game support of guy. I follow brisbane.ReplyDelete
LOL funny thing is I followed Manly right up to the first Optus Cup final, just after they did away with the Winfield Cup. In 2000 I started following Brisbane and have done ever since. The Warriors is a NZ thing. But I must admit I have been really slcak over the last couple of years.ReplyDelete
Haha I am a big brisbane fan, I haven't been watching them lately, 56-0 against the raiders a joke. But I am a bit of a raiders supporter because they are the local side.ReplyDelete
Yeah that was a shock loss... when the Broncos came onto the scene it was huge news!!! An actual QLD side took the NSW comp on. Their finals record is unheard of! I think its 7 Grand Final appearances and 7 wins.. or it might be 6.ReplyDelete
Think it is 7, because they had a great coach in Wayne. But also some of the best players to come out of Queensland.ReplyDelete
I hated when they changed the SOO rules. You had to born in QLD to play for them and then it changed to where you played your first First grade game.. The King, Langer, the Walters brothers, Bella, Backo, Miles, Renouf... awesome playersReplyDelete
The rules are stupid, they have NZ that live in Australia they whole live, played for NSW or QLD rep teams when they were young and choose to play for NZ and now can't play SOO, dumb. And Australians play for NZ if your grandma's brother married one or something. is dumb.ReplyDelete
EXACTLY!!!!! It stuffed up big timeReplyDelete
Adam Schefter (via Twitter) reckons Moreno will be signed by Thursday morning.. Friday our time.. See how quick Princess and #80 will be to post the blog lolReplyDelete
Take Brad Thorn for example, played league then went to union, played for the all blacks, then came back to league and played for the kangroos. Now went back to union and is playing for the all blacks. It is a Joke!ReplyDelete
man ive been lookin for you guys, thought you guys were gunna make another OPEN FORUM. Anyways got some updates, Jack Williams is outplaying Phonzy for nickelback duty. Williams had 2 picks today, and one he returned for a 98 yd. TD. Oh and the Broncos are working feverishly to get Moreno signed.ReplyDelete
LOL waddup #80?? Nice! I like JW good to hear some healthy competition going on for the NB!ReplyDelete
Haha way ahead of you 80# me and samoan have sen all that stuff and he even said you would post that.ReplyDelete
The Brad Thorn saga is a joke indeed. They only have the rules that apply within the codes but not if a player decides to switch.ReplyDelete
Jack Williams is good just didn't get a chance last year, with the crappy pass rush we had.ReplyDelete
is this where everybody at?ReplyDelete
the doc back online...ReplyDelete
im going to wait until Moreno is signed until i put a blog upReplyDelete
Ahhhhh wsup Doc? lol been dying to say thatReplyDelete
What up Doc, and yeah totally agree about Brad Thorn, they should make the rules clear cut.ReplyDelete
the princess will be awake from Wednesday 11:55pm till thursday morning, you better be quick Agent #80! lolReplyDelete

Damn!!! sorry to hear that Doc.ReplyDelete

LOL on here? We're talking about rugby league which is huge down these parts.. on the DB blog.. Aussies taking the p*ss out of us Kiwi's and how we talk. lolReplyDelete
Damn Doc that is harsh oh well, your young and there is lots of fish in the sea. Me and samoan are talking about the local footy.ReplyDelete

Watch this and you will understand.ReplyDelete
Beached Whale

See ya Samoan catch you later.ReplyDelete
is it supposed to make fun of the accents?ReplyDelete
Yes it does doc and is so funny.ReplyDelete
I think both accents are funny...no offense.ReplyDelete
They are both New Zealand accents, funny as, the best is when a Kiwi says suck my dick, because they say it suck my duck. haha so funny!ReplyDelete
now this is funnyReplyDelete
Doc can't view video because I am outside the USReplyDelete

what are you goin to uni for?ReplyDelete
What do you thing, an IT degree.ReplyDelete
thought you already had it. are the rumors true that Knowshon will be signed thursday morning?ReplyDelete
I am studying for it. Won't know if the rumors are true till it happens but I have read in a few places they think it will be thrusday morning or friday at the latest. I hope so or Torain will take his job.ReplyDelete
well I gotta go. good talkin to you Aussie.ReplyDelete
See ya Doc, well I guess I am all alone now, is there anyone else out there.ReplyDelete
Oddly enough I just signed back in. I got something funny here, I'll post the link in just a second.ReplyDelete

Nope still gayReplyDelete
it was kinda repetitive. intertubing on a lake, swimming in a lake, swimming at a water park, swimming in our hotel and swimming in the community pool.ReplyDelete
I am Australian I like swimming, it is better when they are alot of good looking women in bikinis hi-five.ReplyDelete
no hot chicks in wisconsinReplyDelete
hey guys.ReplyDelete
Hence why the trip was ok, haha. Got to love Australian beachs. Hot women everywhere.ReplyDelete
Florios Mom, thats why California is better. so many hot chicks it is unbelievable.ReplyDelete
What up doc you back.ReplyDelete
i got to see family though. i got some pretty cool news.ReplyDelete
Where you been Doc?ReplyDelete
What news?ReplyDelete
yep. I was watching ESPN and its just showing St.Louis Cardinals hilights which I literally have seen 4 times today. so I decided to see if their was any activity on the blog and I noticed my honey is online.ReplyDelete
are you pregnant?ReplyDelete
With Doc's baby?ReplyDelete
what honey?ReplyDelete
My boss emailed me on friday and said he wanted me to write a coaches guide for flag football. So now im writing this guide for all of our clients, except he needed it by this next friday so i've been working my butt off lately.
you're my honey.ReplyDelete
Doc and florio's_mom, sitting in a tree k,i,s,s,i,n,g. Haha too funny.ReplyDelete
And nice on the job, you getting payed extra for that?
Florio, you have to do a bio on you're self. everyone is going to do one.ReplyDelete
so any way, he said he'll pay $25 a page. (in word pad) So far i have 8 pages and I'm only 3/4 done with the defense. I haven't even touched the offenseReplyDelete
$750-$1000 some where in thereReplyDelete
thats a lot of money. to bad you can't buy anything with it.ReplyDelete
Nice pay check that will be, say 10 pages each, 20 in total, $500, niceReplyDelete
so when are you 2 going to do you're bios?ReplyDelete
Maybe Friday, and leave Florio alone, I would put that away and start saving for a house.ReplyDelete
he also said he wants me to look around for some more playmakers. he said he wants me to find someone who is willing to work under meReplyDelete
at this rate, im saving for a mansion on 100 acresReplyDelete
Aussie, I noticed on the score board for the 49ers game, it has a chart for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th quarter and OT. can you put a box for the final score so we won't have to add the boxes up?ReplyDelete
Or you can just by Shanny's mansion that he built. I heard it's for sale.ReplyDelete
geez. i just noticed our first preseason game is in like two weeks.ReplyDelete
ive seen it actually. is smells like cows in his hood thoughReplyDelete
9 days. I'm pumped!!!ReplyDelete
you've seen Shannys mansion? lucky.ReplyDelete
Yeah I was thinking progressively doing it, like 7-0 in the 1st and 14-0 in the 2nd, so it adds up but that may be confusing so I will add in another one. And I am happy the preseaon games are on fridays and saturdays so I can watch them.ReplyDelete
why can't you watch them on sundays?ReplyDelete
well, the outside. have you guys ever heard of cabela's?ReplyDelete
A sunday for you is a monday for me and I am at work. I can get the scores but can't watch them.ReplyDelete
cabela's. yes. the outdoor equipment store. why?ReplyDelete
my grand parents live 10 houses down from their mansionReplyDelete
I dont really shop at cabelasReplyDelete
what happened to Aussie?ReplyDelete
me either but they have this mansion in town in a poorer neighborhood. It like this huge thing with naked lady sculptures just right in the middle of town.ReplyDelete
the owner is worth like 75 million.ReplyDelete
when you beat it to the sculptures were you thinking about me?ReplyDelete
Still here, just nothing to talk about.ReplyDelete
your lucky ashley isn't here lolReplyDelete
lets talk about how much my life sucks right now.ReplyDelete
WTF what do you mean by that doc, 'beat it to the sculptures', 'think of me' ?????? WTF!ReplyDelete
hahahahahahaha, why is Ashley against the seedy jokes?ReplyDelete
so on our way back to colorado springs, our car broke down and we were stranded in Sidney Nebraska for a day.ReplyDelete
Aussie, I'n not going to explain it. Florio knows what I mean. you know...beat it...like the nast kind of beat it...ReplyDelete
so what did you guys do while i was gone?ReplyDelete
what kind of car?ReplyDelete
Bit random where did you read the thing about Ashley?ReplyDelete
And Doc your life sucks now but you will get over her and move on. Your young and got alot of living life to do.
99 suburbanReplyDelete
me, ashley, and Tim made bios and are waiting for everyone else to put up one.ReplyDelete
who read what thing about ashley? what?ReplyDelete
so why does your life suck?ReplyDelete
Oh that is on Ashley bio, I thought so, but that was a while ago why are you reading it now?ReplyDelete
ya to be honest I don't really care. its just other things were going on between us and then all the suddenly I forgot about our one month anniversary and she got mad.ReplyDelete
Aussie, what are you talking about?ReplyDelete
oooooohhhhh. girl problems. is that why your acting so strange around me?ReplyDelete
Well if you still like her it would not be hard to get back together, just sorry and all that jazz. Or if she was cheating or shit like that then forget about it.ReplyDelete
Just wondering, who dumped who?
Naw, it was other stuff. her friend and my friend did stuff and word got out and all this he said she said stuff started happening. I like her but I met this sweet girl at the cheerleading practice today and I will see if I'm interested in her.ReplyDelete
And Aussie, she dumped me.
Florio, thats how I normally am. you should've seen what I was acting toward you when you were gone. its joking though, even though I really do love you...with all my heart...and anything you ask I will give...ReplyDelete
Wow, very interesting, but shit happens, and be careful with the cheerleader, she may not want to be the rebound girl.ReplyDelete
stop it, how bout that?ReplyDelete
I will stop showing my love for you if that is what you please. but I just want you to remember, I will always be watching over you...always.ReplyDelete
Shes not the rebound girl. shes someone that I met who is really cool.

Mobile phones and tablets have put a world of information at our fingertips, even when we're on the go. It would seem natural, then, for smartphones to help make traveling easier and more fun.
But not all apps are created equal — so Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep sought advice from Lauren Goode, a senior editor at All Things D, where she recently reviewed travel apps. Here are some of the tips Goode discussed with Steve:
Pack the Bag (iPad/iPhone) — "It breaks luggage down into categories," Goode says, and includes details like sunscreen and sunglasses. "And you can set a reminder on the app that'll tell you when you're supposed to start packing," Goode says. The app also lets you email a packing list to friends or family.
TuneyFish — Available for many phones, the 99-cent app provides videos and tips on repairing your car — a possible savior if your vehicle breaks down. "It sounds better in theory than I actually found it to work," says Goode, who adds that the videos were sometimes hard to follow.
Google Translate (Android, iOS) — Also known as "the fan favorite," Goode says Google's tool promises to help travelers understand more than 63 languages. But "once you get into more complicated or long blocks of communication," she says, some of the results "might not make that much sense to you." Instead, Goode says, stick with short phrases.
Lonely Planet (Android/iPhone) — "Lonely Planet's travel apps are really, really extensive," Goode says. "These apps are really great. They offer a simpler interface than something like Frommer's." The apps include recommendations for places to eat, where to stay and what to see. They also offer audio walking tours.
Stuck on Earth (iPad) — "This is a really fascinating, unique travel app — I'm not even sure if I would call it a travel app, as I would call it a photographer's dream," Goode says. "It crowdsources all of these photos from Flickr that people around the world have posted to this particular area of Flickr that's designated for Stuck on Earth."
And if your summer travel plans include a trip to the beach, Goode says to be careful about relying on an app to avoid getting a sunburn.
"There are some apps out there that claim to help you monitor your sun exposure" by using your phone's GPS to find data on local UV levels, she says.
But the apps don't have any way of measuring your actual levels of exposure.
"I've tried a couple of these apps before, and at times they've said to me, 'Well, even if you're in the sun, you could still stay in the sun for 4 hours and 39 minutes before reapplying sunscreen,' " Goode says. "I'm thinking to myself, 'I am definitely going to get a sunburn.' "
Every once in a while we turn to interesting people in the world of technology for what we call an app chat. That's where we get recommendations for applications - apps. You can download to a smartphone or a tablet computer or whatever app-friendly gadget you may have, and with summer just around the corner, some of you may be lucky enough to be planning a vacation.
So we've brought in Lauren Goode to give us some vacation-related apps. She is a senior editor at All Things D, the technology website. Welcome to the program.
LAUREN GOODE: Hi, Steve. Thanks for having me. It's good to be here.
INSKEEP: Now, we've got a bunch of apps on an iPhone that is now in my hand here and the first one is called Pack the Bag. That seems like a good place to start, so I'm just going to press on this. What do you do with Pack the Bag?
GOODE: I love Pack the Bag. This is a really great free app for iPad and iPhones. Sorry, Android users, but it is just for iPad and iPhone right now. It breaks luggage down into categories and then within that category there's a tab that says, you know, do you want to pack your sunscreen? Yes. Do you intend to pack your sunglasses? Yes.
And you just check them all off and you go through this massive, massive, comprehensive list and then you can set a reminder on the app that'll tell you when you're supposed to start packing ahead of your trip.
LAUREN GOODE ALL THINGS D: And this is the best part: You can email it to your friends. Now I'm assuming this means you can email it to perhaps your spouse, your partner, or somebody that, you know, watches your back as you're packing to make sure you're not forget something.
INSKEEP: So now, let's say that I'm driving to the vacation spot, as opposed to flying and - or taking the train, for that matter, and I have a problem with the car. It looks like there's an app here that's just for me, Tunyfish?
GOODE: I have to say, it sounds better in theory than I actually found it to work. Fortunately I did not find myself stuck on the side of the road when I was relying on Tunyfish. But it's a 99 cent app. It works on iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry. It's not just for changing tires. It's going to help you check your belts, change your oil, jumpstart your car - all of that.
The idea is that it crowd-sources videos from users that can post their videos to the app, showing how you do something like that. Except that most of the videos I found were actually - I'm assuming they were shot with some sort of head camera.
INSKEEP: Like on their forehead, like a miner's lamp or something.
GOODE: For example, or like a GoPro camera or that sort of thing, because I couldn't really see some of the actions the person was taking. You may want to have some familiarity with how to do these things before you head out onto the road. And then, maybe if you need an app to jog your memory, this could be helpful.
INSKEEP: So assume that we get to our destination, and it's a country where they speak a foreign language, what can I use for that?
GOODE: Google Translate is probably the fan favorite here, and it's free. It works on Android and it works on iPhone as well. And Google claims there are more than 63 languages available. This is great for punching in short phrases or simple phrases. But once you get into more complicated or long blocks of communication, some of the translation, it still might not make that much sense to you.
INSKEEP: Oh, sure. I mean I've just - this one here on this phone is set from English to French. So I typed in smartphone, it gives me the spelling of the words in French. And let's see if we can hear it.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (French spoken)
INSKEEP: (French spoken) OK, so it gives me a pronunciation and everything else. But I guess we have to remember that all languages are not necessarily literal will at all times. And so, you may have a completely different meaning from the literal expression that is used.
GOODE: You do have to keep that in mind.
INSKEEP: One final question. If you happen to be vacationing at the beach, is there an app that can protect your smartphone from sand and sunscreen?
GOODE: I don't think there's an app that can protect your smartphone from sand and sunscreen. There are some apps out there that claim to help you monitor your sun exposure. They take your location, based on the inherent geo-location abilities of the smartphone, and they'll tell you what the UV Index might be for that day.
INSKEEP: Oh.
GOODE: But it's not as though there are sensors built into the phone or the app itself that are actually going to be able to gauge for you, in real time, the kind of sun exposure you're getting. I tried a couple of these apps before and at times they've said to me: You could just to stay in the sun for four hours and 39 minutes before reapplying sunscreen. And I'm thinking to myself, I am definitely going to get a sunburn after that amount of time.
GOODE: So I would not rely too much on those kinds of applications.
INSKEEP: Or you could use the smartphone or even the iPad as a kind of visor, like put it out on your forehead so that you have shade for your eyes.
GOODE: Well, these devices can overheat, so you might want to keep that in mind as well. But I like the way you're thinking, Steve.
INSKEEP: All right. Lauren Goode, I hope you have a good vacation wherever you may go this summer.
GOODE: Thank you. You as well.

September '09
-9/10 - MAC in HD
-9/17 - Fall Trend Collection
-9/17 - Pro Colour Expansion Collection
-9/24 - Style Black
-9/24 - Zoom Fast Black Lash
-9/24 - Dazzleglass Cremes
September is going to be very different! As you'll see from my wishlists below, I'm quite intrigued by colors out of the norm. (black lipstick, etc) Not that I'd wear it everyday, but I love the artistic possibilities. Plus, with these collections you have to look beyond the typical use for these. Just because a lipstick is jet black doesn't mean that you apply it full on black, straight from the tube. Use it to alter the shade of another lipstick, or apply it sheer with a lipbrush mixed with another shade of gloss. The possibilities are endless. Much more exciting than the typical lipstick shades.
Here are my wish lists and thoughts on each collection:
9/10 MAC in HD
This collection seems (honestly) like MAC's way of jumping on the "HD" label bandwagon. ...without actually creating any new products. Or maybe they're just saying... "HEY! look, we've been HD all along!! ...uh, because we've always had these products...??" haha I dunno.
The Face & Body foundation is worth a try if you've never used it before. It's very unique. It's on the thin side, but it has buildable coverage and looks natural. It's a staple in my kit.
As for the lip colors, I'll have to see them in person. They sound like colors that are already in the permanent collection. Nothing too unique.
9/17 Fall Trend Collection
hmm...this collection is confusing. I dunno, aren't all the fall collections supposed to be "fall trend"? wow, I'm on a roll today...haha. Ok, enough with the smart comments. :) I just feel like these products could have been included with other collections. It's a fairly small collection, but aside from all my negative remarks, I honestly like the looks of most the products!
lipsticks: These are the two that look interesting, but I'll have to check out the others in person
-Faultlessly F/W
-Our Pick
lipglass: they all sound really unique
-Runway Fave
-New Berry
-So this Season
-Tone-Grey eye shadow quad (not the most unique looking, but I'm curious...definitely will swatch this one in person before purchasing)
9/17 Pro Colour Expansion Collection (Process Colour Collection)
...maybe it's my imagination, but I thought they had most of these colors in the permanent Pro line already?? Basically, they've chosen Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black to add to the permanent pro collection of chromalines, pigments, chromacakes, paintsticks, etc... Meh.
9/24 Style Black
This is the one worth saving for! (in my opinion, at least!) I may as well not even make a wishlist. I really want it all. I'm in trouble...
-Black Knight lipstick
As for the mattenes, I'll have to check them out in person. Never been a huge fan of them)
-All 3 Glimmerglasses. These look so fun!
With the Mineralized Eye Shadows, Young Punk definitely sounds pretty! I'll have to see them all in person though to decide.
-Greasepaint Stick in Intense Black- This is basically like a painstick-type product, but pointier I think....and leaves a shinier finish
-Baby Goth Girl nail polish- haven't seen any pictures, but I can only hope it's as pretty in person as it sounds...black with pink and purple pearl :)
The Volcanic Ash Exfoliator is back! I know lots of people swore by it last summer-- even buying multiples upon multiples of backups of the stuff. Not sure if I'll try it because I'm funny about trying new skin stuff, but I might see what all the hype is about.
About the Cream Colour Bases-- I have Bat Black, but it's definitely a color worth getting if you don't have it already (it's a pro color).
9/24 Zoom Fast Black Lash
Yay for a new mascara formula! Not sure if I'll try it right away because it's going to be permanent, but it seems like an amazing formula. Described as being very volumizing and super black. Sounds good to me!
9/24 Dazzleglass Creams
LOVE Dazzleglasses. Can't wait to try these. I'm not going to pick certain colors because I'll have to check them out in the store first before deciding.
Check out the collections for yourself :) What are YOUR wishlists? What are YOU most excited about? Share your thoughts in the comments below for a chance to win a Sigma travel brush set!
Winner will be announced Thursday, September 3rd. (No need to rush. The winner will be randomly selected on the 3rd)

My favorite color is purple. I think purple paired with ANY color is just gorgeous! So I did a look on Friday and I actually liked it a lot. I was able to play with makeup while the BF took a nap, hehe.
What I used-
- MAC Fix+ Spray before makeup application
- Monistat chafing gel as primer
- MAC StudioFinish Concealer NC30
- Silk Naturals Foundation
- Valerie Beauty "Coquette" Blush
- MAC "Painterly" PP
- MAC e/s in "Mylar" all over the lid
- MUFE Flash Paint Pot in "Blue" as base on lower lid
- Milani "Sea Angel" e/s over MUFE
- MUFE eyeshadow #126 (I think) on outer-V and contour
- Pure Luxe "Amethyst" applied damp on outer-V and contour
- MAC Fluidline in "Nightfish"
- L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
- Ardell Babies
- Ardell Magic Lash
- MAC l/s in "Melrose Mood"
- MAC l/g in "Starlet Kiss"
And since everyone is doing them virtual makeovers, I thought id do one on Jon's niece and it was pretty hilarious. It's my main pic on my MySpace and people thought I really put makeup on a baby, HAHA, no no, i'd never do that! But it was just so cute. I sent it to her mom and she loved her princess's new makeover, LOL.
It's a pretty cool site, in case you are wondering I did it on Taaz.com

Heyy, Vanessa. I recently started reading your blog. (I saw your tutorial on YouTube for applying eyeliner, haha.) You're REALLY, REALLY pretty, even without makeup. So I'm kind of conducting a survey.
1. Do you think you wear too much makeup? (I mean, I see you post tutorials for heavily applied eyeshadow all the time, no offense intended. Do you wear makeup like that on a daily basis, or just for special occasions?)
2. Do you think you spend WAY too much on makeup?
3. Do you follow trends, or start your own?
4. What do you think about the following? :
this society is going down the > bleep < toilet. why is everyone obsessed with trying to look pretty? why follow the trend? just for the record, pretty does NOT equal beautiful.
to look pretty is to look the way the GENERAL PUBLIC / SOCIETY wants you to look. what THEY think look good.
to be beautiful is to look absolutely stunning, but different, while having a good personality.
have you EVER stopped yourself and ask, "is this what i think looks good? or am i just trying to look like someone i'm not? someone from seventeen or teen vogue?"
i'm sure many people are WAY beyond models and actors / actresses in looks, but they choose to alter their appearance to look "pretty." when they could've chosen to at least LOOK beautiful, look unique. stand out from the wannabe crowds.
BUT. of course. society has brainwashed us to make us think what looks good and what isn't. so ask yourself the next time you see a woman with peacocks eyes, like in that magazine, "does that look good?"
I wrote that, by the way.
What I just said is in NO way meaning to offend you! I'm sorry if it did though, but not regret, haha.
You have excellent tips, by the way :].

Thank you Teneasha! It gives a little variety doesn't it?
Hi Linda! I use a tiny flat brush I got with the Sephora Smoky Eye Brush Set, an angled liner will also do!
Chas I can't wait! I miss you!
Thanks Megan!
Hi Anonymous! Thank you! You are such a sweetheart! Here are the answers to your questions, I hope it helped!
1.) No I just do fotd's for the sake of the blog, in reality, there are times you have to apply more color then you normally would esp. for me when I take pictures of it because the flash already drowns out enough color. I actually go pretty bare at work compared to what you are used to seeing. I sport a lot of neutrals, browns, golds. Sometimes i'll play around with it and wear bright colors to work, but not as dramatic. Depends on my mood, really..
2.) I USED to spend a lot of money on makeup, but really back then I was starting fresh in terms of my "makeup collection" because I had a lot of old cheap brands that didn't have a lot of pigmentation. I have been really good lately at not spending more than $60 on makeup a month (trust me it was A LOT worse!). It definitely also helps being a makeup artist as I have a MAC PRO discount card as well as a Nixie card so it saves me money!
3.) I do a little of both, I like to do different things not for the sake of being different or unique, but at times I like being creative with my own look or style and accessorize based on what I think looks good. At the same time, there are the common trends I think look hot and gotta try to work it such as the skinny jeans, hot pumps, etc.
4.) I think society plays a role in looks, in terms of having to be thin, etc. To be honest, there are shallow people and makeup is very superficial to some, but you are forgetting that for some, it makes them FEEL beautiful inside regardless whether it was an awesome makeup job or not. I know people who had cancer, lost their hair, but with a little makeup, it made their day. Doesn't necessarily mean that people who wear makeup are shallow or just want to be "pretty". I think everyone wants to look good for themselves and not so much for everyone else, they want to do and wear what makes them feel good ultimately.
As for models, being one years ago, I don't like the stereotype that goes with it, that they are dumb, etc. They are MODELS, they model what designers want them to wear, they have no choice in terms of choosing what they want to wear or what makeup or hairstyle to have. I don't know any model who has altered their own look without some sort of consent or guidance merely to "look pretty". They are selling a product and they look how the client wants them to look.
I've never asked myself whether im trying to be something im not because I do things that make me happy off the bat. I buy things I personally feel is my style and would look nice on me, I don't do it because the girl in front of the magazine has one or the girl at work has it. I know when I can pull something off and when I can't, it's called trial and error.
People have different opinions when it comes to makeup and fashion, what is strange and funky, what you would never wear, is being featured on the runways, avant-garde, couture, high fashion.
I think that if you allow yourself to be brainwashed- you will be. I don't care what people think is ugly or not in style, if I like it and im comfy in it, that's all that matters because everyone has a different taste, different style.

Anyway, LOVE your blog and your video tutorials are adorable. You're definitely on my blogroll.

What an adorable baby-girl!!! The makeup on her scared me though, not because I though it was real but because I'm so not used to seeing it on a baby. (Thank goodness for that...) :-D Brilliant makeover though, congrats!

Tweet for street art now
Between the 19th and 24th June a group of like minded agencies are running a series of events for the Cannt festival in london
It's a way to thank those hard-working folk in the creative communications industries who don't manage to bag a visit to the Cannes Lions.
As part of the festival there's a two-day live art project, which will see street artist and coder Finbarr Dac creating spectacular street art in Corbet Place, East London
You could win part of this exclusive artwork. Include the #cannt hashtag in your wittiest, smartest, most creative Cannt-related tweets to be in the running.
Finbarr Dac creates art to keep himself happy, and if others like it then that's smashing too.
The most important option of his work is his own... but you're sure to have one when you see its creation live at Cannt.
Check Finbarr's on Flicker or Facebook

You have worked long and hard making many difficult decisions to select your future home in Hugo. At Homefax, we understand this. We know you are emotionally wrapped in this home. We will take a very in-depth, unbiased, experienced and professional look at your dream home to make sure you have a clear picture as to its condition. If there are issues that need addressing, we want you to be aware their significance. We will also present any issues with balance and in a manner that makes sense to the you. We will not tell you whether to buy or not buy the home. We are there to make sure you understand the condition of the home. In addition, we will give you helpful maintenance tips and general operating instructions.
We begin to gather information the minute we answer the phone. First we will listen to you and answer any questions you may have. We will then ask questions about your future home, to determine if you have any specific areas of concern. We will also describe the inspection process. At that point, we are able to give you a price for the inspection and schedule a date and time, (usually within 48 hours of your call). We will then immediately contact the agent regarding access to the home.
The inspector will arrive at the home 2 hours prior to the client. This allows the inspector the opportunity to cover the in-depth inspection of the plumbing, electrical and heating systems without distraction which may cause items to be missed. It also prevents the client from being required to spend 3-4 hours at the home. The inspector will then complete the report with the client, review any concerns found and walk the client through the home with the report, providing information and training about the home.
At the completion of the walk-through, the client will have a printed preliminary summary report (or emailed) covering hundreds points. The final report will include details regarding each system of the home as well as written comments describing any deficiencies.
Payment can be made in advance or at the time of the inspection. We accept cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.

Downloadable MP3 from ZTE Senate hearing
The first half of Thursday's Senate hearing on ZTE, Romulo Neri and Executive Privilege, was taken up by above heated discussion of the conundrum created by the Philippine Daily Inquirer's unrepudiated claims that four Senate sources revealed to reporter Juliet Labog Javellana what happened during a September 26 Senate Executive Session. The joint Senate committees went into Executive Session to hear Romulo Neri explain the assertion of executive privilege over his report to President Gloria Arroyo, of a 200 million peso bribe offer from Comelec Chair Ben Abalos.
In a front page article, two editorials and subsequent statements on television by a PDI senior editor, the Manila newspaper resolutely stuck to its claims, based on information allegedly received from those sources, that Senator Joker Arroyo had somehow prevented Romulo Neri from dropping a bombshell in the Senate's executive session, about his conversations with the President about the ZTE National Broadband Network deal.
But, whatever actually transpired in the Executive Session, has now been totally eclipsed by the possibility that the Philippine Daily Inquirer is telling the truth and that if so, there are in fact four persons who violated the strict confidentiality rules of the Senate and cannot be trusted to keep such sessions a state secret. If they are Senators, they could be expelled for such violation. If they are Senate staff members they could be dismissed. And since the only other person known to be in the executive session was Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya, there are at least three possible "talkative" Senators or staff members facing heavy sanctions, IF the newspaper is in fact, telling the truth that it had four anonymous sources and is not engaging in its habitual and common practice of the art of the kuryente.
At one dramatic point in the Thursday hearing, Senator Joker Arroyo named each of the Senators present and asked each one directly to confirm or deny PDI's claim that one or more of them were the aforesaid unnamed sources that violated the Senate's rules on executive sessions. Only Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson responded to this challenge by categorically denying that he spoke to any reporter about the session. Everyone else kept quiet, though my DVD recording of the session shows a few of them looking like they had swallowed a canary.
There is now the following inescapable logical conclusion.
Either the Philippine Daily Inquirer is lying and it never had four Senate sources of information about what happened in the executive session, OR it is telling the truth and the Senate actually has a big problem with four rule-breakers whose continued anonymity has effectively compromised the security, confidentiality and hence the essential utility of the executive session as a tool of Congressional investigations in aid of legislation.
On ABSCBN's award winning program, Media in Focus with Cheche Lazaro, first aired a week ago last Thursday, Senior PDI editor John Nery (no relation to Romulo Neri) and the New York Times Int'l Herald Tribune Manila correspondent Carlos H. Conde, both defended the right of the press to use anonymous sources, as enunciated in Republic Act No. 1477, also known as the Press Freedom Act, whose entire substance is contained in the following provision:
Sec. 1. Without prejudice to his liability under the civil and criminal laws, the publisher, editor columnist or duly accredited reporter of any newspaper, magazine or periodical of general circulation cannot be compelled to reveal the source of any news-report or information appearing in said publication which was related in confidence to such publisher, editor or reporter unless the Court or a House or committee of Congress finds that such revelation is demanded by the security of the State.I was also a guest on that show and it seemed to me both John and Caloy were missing an essential point, because the main issue is not the freedom of the press to use anonymous sources as a general rule, but whether in this particular instance the editors of Inquirer abused their discretion to do so and had indeed violated the very law that protects such freedom. Throughout the show, I could not escape the impression that both these gentlemen believe the phrase in the law which reads "cannot be compelled to reveal the source of any news report or information" means they have a virtually unlimited right to publish such information if they believe it to be true or the source is considered by them to be reliable. Yet it is manifestly clear from a plain reading of the Press Freedom Law as quoted above, that there are definite limits to that freedom of the Press from being compelled to reveal such anonymous sources. In fact there are two explicit limits mentioned in the law. First the freedom to use anonymous sources is granted "without prejudice" to the publisher's "liability under civil and criminal laws," for example the laws against libel, blackmail, and oral or written defamation, character assasination and the like. Second, if "the Court or a House or committee of Congress finds that such revelation is demanded by the security of the State," the Press can indeed be compelled to reveal such sources, under pain of contempt, fine, imprisonment, etc., as befits the violation of this Press Freedom Law.
I think this incident, however it is now resolved, is an important watershed in our understanding of the very concept of Press Freedom and its limitations. Press freedom is limited as much by the Law as it is by moderation in the exercise of its rights and privileges, and ought to be informed by wise discretion. Editors, publishers and ordinary citizen journalists (bloggers) have the obligation to recognize these limitations in their avowedly hot pursuit of the Truth. Such pursuits do not trump any and all rights, privileges and powers of other institutions as important to Democracy as the free Press, like the Senate of the Republic, without whose viable and secure investigations and hearings, the Press would have neither stories nor sources.
Let me say that I stand four square behind the Philippine Daily Inquirer in its normally sagacious and perspicacious investigation of corruption and malfeasance in government, most of time without relying on anonymous sources, which always demands due diligence and discretion to avoid trouble. The abuse of Freedom of the Press however, can be just as dangerous and destructive when such abuse is carried out by the Press itself, as by fascists and authoritarians.
I hope PDI will now have the wisdom and maturity to come clean on this matter, not necessarily by revealing who those four sources are, but by at least admitting that they recognize the real limitations on Press Freedom which are essential to defending democracy and enhancing everybody's freedom, especially when it comes to matters of national and state security. I was aghast on the answer that John Nery gave on Media in Focus to my request for an example of what PDI would not publish in the course of their work because it might endanger state or national security. He said they would never publish the identities of persons in the Witness Protection Program. Maybe he didn't have enough time to think but this hardly reflects a good appreciation of what constitutes national or state security, since this example clearly refers to the security of a certain class of individuals, and not necessarily the security of the state.
Many individuals and institutions, including me, are keenly interested in discovering the truth about ZTE and what Romulo Neri knows about it. I also strongly dislike the manner in which Joker Arroyo seems to be trying to keep the Truth from coming out. But what PDI did has not helped, it has only hindered the Senate's investigation by throwing into that rambunction bunch four apples of doubt and discord.

Remember when xkcd people used to talk like real people? I wonder what happened to those days. "Where have you been?" "Playing Half-Life 2" "Didn't that come out in 2004?" That's a real natural response - what's next? "What are you listening to?" "The Beatles?" "Didn't they break up in 1970?" People do play old games, you know. Is that so crazy?
I guess this comic is an example of what I've called Randall Munroe's Illustrated Picto-Blog - a place to write about ideas he has without the pressure of being funny. Not that this is a particularly interesting idea - but it's an even worse joke.
It doesn't stand up to even an iota of thought: The dude knows he is 5 years behind the times - so in 2013 he should know that everyone else has played Portal years ago. By spouting off the jokes, he isn't facing a "downside" to his idea so much as a "downside to him being fucking annoying."
In xkcd world, people look the same 5 years into the future as they do now.

Sasquatch 2016 Rumors:
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

I'm going to take a wild guess and bet on Muse.
- February 13, 2008 at 9:59 PM
It better not be Modest Mouse. Give me a REAL headliner please.
- February 13, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Agreed, no Modest Mouse.
- February 14, 2008 at 2:51 AM
Would it really seem that logical to have Modest Mouse close out the festival, when the other two nights appear to be ending with R.E.M. and The Cure? I'd think they'd be smart enough to try and go a little bigger like Sigur Rós, Muse, or somebody completely random like Nas. If you live in the Northwest and are a frequent concert goer, Modest Mouse isn't the most enticing closing act.
- February 14, 2008 at 6:23 AM
Saul Williams/Trent Reznor would be crazy...
- February 14, 2008 at 7:55 AM
A bit disappointing about Radiohead. I let the wild, improbable rumors get to my head just in time for them to be dashed. But to me, it was worth having Radiohead eliminated, so long as Jack Johnson was eliminated in the same breath. I mean, my lord.
And as much as I love Modest Mouse, I have to agree that they aren't "headliner" material. The vibe, the frequent gigs up here...it just doesn't add up to much excitement. Plus, I would assume they'd play #2 on the bill behind REM on their night...The same idea for Death Cab.
Muse would be amazing.
- February 14, 2008 at 9:04 AM
I think it would be sweet if it was blur or somebody no one expects, but i'm sure it will be modest mouse :(.
- February 14, 2008 at 10:33 AM
The only way i'll go now is based on the comedy tent, and it will have to be better than Roos cuz they just added chris rock...that's huge!
- February 14, 2008 at 10:38 AM
muse would be pretty incredible...i could dig pearl jam, even though i didn't get into any of their stuff after Ten...
i really doubt it would be modest mouse. at least i hope it isn't. i like them a lot, but their live shows have disappointed me in the past. besides, they're such a northwest band already, it seems like it would be a waste of a 3rd headline spot. i really don't see that
- February 14, 2008 at 11:30 AM
- Daniel said...
NAS would be cool. Or Amy Winehouse if she got her act together.
An another note, what about British Sea Power. Not as a headliner but they will be in the US in the spring and appear to be moving westward in the weeks leading up to Sasquatch?! They have a sickk new album out. It would be awesome if they played.
It appears Sasquatch is going bigger this year. Three or more days? Comedy Tent? I cant see them picking Modest Mouse as a headliner.
- February 14, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Radiohead will be in Dallas by May 18th. I'm thinkin they're still a possibility. Fingers are crossed. They better not be playin White River the same weekend....

Well, aside from Travis and his mysterious sources being pretty reputable, Radiohead will be back again in August, so it's a slim chance.
I'll second no Modest Mouse or Death Cab, although the Cure might have their day wrong. They said the 25th, sure, but they also said closing the festival. Unless it's a Fri-Sun affair one of those is wrong..
And, big a fan of Muse as I am, I hate to admit this..but they can't close out the festival with REM and Cure doing the other two nights. Hell, I'd love to see them, but they'd likely be the second band that night.
It'll probably be a MM/REM Sat, Death Cab/Cure Sun, and then ??? Monday; their best choices for headliners are either Pearl Jam (and I don't see them doing a back to back local band to close the show) or some unknown quantity that hasn't really been brought up yet. Of the other major headliners, Foo Fighters likely won't fly back from an international tour for a brief stateside stay, STP is back in rehab, and Portishead isn't even a worthy Cochella headliner, let alone someone you bring in to close for REM and Radiohead (and forget Metallica, are you kidding me?)
I'm already way more excited for this than I am Coachella though, I'll say that for sure
- February 14, 2008 at 4:15 PM
modest mouse is also touring with REM...them each headlining a different night...that seems crazy on uh, REM and the Cure seem like such a good match. the 3rd?
kraftwerk? uh, neil young? verve? nah. pearl jam? i really don't have a clue...
- February 14, 2008 at 8:19 PM

- February 14, 2008 at 8:41 PM
- Daniel said...
haha hell no. Remember, Sasquatch is different from the big music festivals (Coachella, SXSW, Bonaroo, Lollapalooza). Theres a slant to indie rock, newer bands and northwest bands in particular. They wont have boomer artists or any huge stadium bands. that said...Pearl jam! Bruce Springsteen!
ps: what about feist? ..or Muse, ok.
- February 14, 2008 at 8:46 PM
How is portishead not a good coachella headliner?? They have a bigger following then you think...
The fest is FRI-SAT-SUN with the cure PROMISED a 3 hour set for a make up date at key arena. The breeders, Cure, cops, rem, modest mouse, national are all confirmed!!!! I hope to GOD it's not Muse. What a piss poor sub for radiohead....
No pearl jam please, I'll take the small date at the croc instead... Oh wait, there is no more croc....
- February 14, 2008 at 8:51 PM
- Joel said...
Can we expect that a lot of the acts playing Coachella could be possible candidates for Sasquatch! if there are no conflicting dates already scheduled?
If thats the case I hopin for Slightly Stoopid (even though they're playing Seattle in March), Aesop Rock, Portishead (obviously), Brett Dennen, Tegan and Sara, Flogging Molly and I'm absolutely praying that they can actually book Jamie T. I mean hell, if he'll already be in the states for Coachella why doesn't he hang out for a couple months and play Sasquatch!? Jamie T is the shit. Speaking of Jamie T, how about some other UK acts like Arctic Monkeys? The Streets would be pretty chill as well.
And I'm praying Kings of Leon will come out and play this summer but that is highly doubtful. A guy can dream though cant he? Oh well. Either way Sasq is gonna rock.
- February 14, 2008 at 11:55 PM
- Sara V said...
is REM confirmed? I know they were likely but I haven't seen anywhere that said they were for sure confirmed. Am I missing something?
- February 15, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Nope, REM isn't confirmed *yet*. They'll be there, but it's just unconfirmed.
And it is NOT Fri/Sat/Sun, not with the 26th being the last day, the 26th of course Monday.
Oh, and Muse wouldn't be subbing for Radiohead, since Radiohead was never announced, never confirmed, only rumored. Just cuz someone got their hopes up doesn't make Muse a replacement.
- February 15, 2008 at 1:30 PM
How about a solo Eddie Vedder? He has solo shows booked through April so there is a possibility there. Pearl Jam is unlikely... they often do multiple nights at The Gorge and have no problem selling out the venue.
And I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Raconteurs. Not as headliners, but certainly second or third billing for one of the days. They have a new album and some festival dates booked in April.
Radiohead seems very unlikely. I think they are too big for Sasquatch. Much like Pearl Jam, they could easily sell out the Gorge on their own.
I like the idea of Kanye as third headliner. He has done Sasquatch before and I think he would be a good fit. As long as their is a bigger act as second headliner that day.
I would also expect to see Modest Mouse and REM on the same night. They are touring together so it just makes sense. Those two back to back would be a great combo, imo. An unlikely pairing but very cool.
- February 16, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Yeah, I'd love to see The Raconteurs. I've had my fingers crossed since I saw they're playing Coachella. And Muse would be absolutely amazing. I missed them in September and sincerely regret it. They're loads better than REM and The Cure.
- February 16, 2008 at 11:57 PM
I'd like to see some fun LIVE bands like gogol bordello, the black keys, the raconteurs, broken social scene, robert randolph band, mmj, etc. I love cds from death cab and the national, but they are just not festival bands. I sorta wish that the other headliner was Daft Punk...a boy can dream, can't he? But it'll be Modest Mouse :(.
- February 17, 2008 at 9:09 AM
Oh man if Daft Punk were to play I'd forgive the Cure admission. Nothing against them, they just don't seem a right fit for Sasquatch. Anyone know if Daft Punk is even a possibility?
- February 17, 2008 at 3:11 PM
pollstar says they're not touring...
- February 17, 2008 at 4:41 PM
There's still a chance that Radiohead will show up for Sasquatch. They've been booked for a show in Dallas six days before Sasquatch begins. Plus their first European date isn't until June 6th. They shouldn't have any reason to rush over to Europe before Sasquatch fest. Wouldn't Thom Yorke be lured toward performing at Sasquatch because it is environmentally friendly (Carbon Neutral to be exact) and because R.E.M. will be there? (This Interview clarifies that Thom Yorke is a big R.E.M. fan.)
Post Script:Travis Hay reconsiders Radiohead as a possibility
- February 17, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Sorry, anonymous, but that was put out before Travis dashed the Radiohead hopes (he even says in the comments otherwise).
I don't know, the Sasquatchs of years past have had some variety of headliners. Assume Modest Mouse/REM for the sake of argument, and then Death Cab/Cure. Last year you got Interpol/Beasties and Arcade Fire/Bjork. Year before had Beck/Death Cab/QOTSA, Ben Harper/Flaming Lips/The Shins and NIN/Bahaus/HIM. All kinds of diversity in headliners there. The year before had Arcade Fire/Wilco/Kanye West/Modest Mouse/Pixies all as one friggen huge main stage. I could go on and on (2004 was lackluster but the variety was there, 2003 was better and ditto on variety (Jurassic Five and Coldplay AND Flaming Lips plus DCFC/MM?)).
Point being, while REM and the Cure are really big, and assuming MM and DCFC are there, they've got great openers...there's not the variety. Quirky just got huge northwest band opens for oldschool alternative legend? Look for something different. Maybe something with more rock (Pearl Jam or something in that vein), something hip hoppy (Maybe not Kanye West (I HOPE NOT) but who knows..Bumbershoot got the Wu Tang Clan) or something else that's just different from what they've already got. Radiohead might qualify as that, but they won't be there. Foo Fighters or STP would though.
- February 17, 2008 at 9:27 PM
STP would be awesome and is very possible! They are already scheduled to headline The Rock the Range Festival in Ohio May 17th, so stopping by Sasquatch is what they should do! One more week and we will know
- February 17, 2008 at 10:22 PM
STP would be wonderful
- February 17, 2008 at 10:31 PM
No Kanye.. he's playin the Key on Wed, 04/16/08
- February 18, 2008 at 4:40 PM
The Long Blondes will be there. (they are in PDX 5/31)
M83 will be there. ( I had read somewhere they are in Vancouver Memorial Day weekend).
That is all.
- February 19, 2008 at 3:43 PM
i think i'll just say what everyone is thinking and say led zeppelin will close out the festival. ha. funny.
- February 19, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Okay...Radiohead is breaking up their US tour. Why? August is APW festival. I think they are here in May for Sasquatch. Obviously things are being kept quiet and outright denied but it makes sense. REM and Radiohead are great fans/friends of each other. They would welcome a chance to play together again. This is my prediction. If anything can convince Radiohead to play Sasquatch its REM.
- February 20, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Radiohead ISN'T playing Sasquatch. It's official.

Link? Anything other than some blogger's word?
- February 20, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Much as I believe Travis a lot of the time, some guy telling him (even if it's a trusted source) isn't confirmed.
And yknow, I bet a lot of bands playing a festival have tours that happen later as well. Just because the Foos have a Seattle date two months later doesn't mean they're out.
- February 20, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Radiohead is not playing, their own website has them listed playing seattle after july sometime...August or September....So there you are, check it for yourself.
Very doubtful that Foo Fighters will be there, they are playing seattle and portland 6 weeks later...doubt they are comingback from new zealand to hit up sasquatch and then head back home and then out to netherlands.
I hope I am not right and they do show but not likely.
I am still crossing my fingers for STP, Pearl Jam or Muse.
- February 20, 2008 at 6:58 PM
People familiar to the Coachella boards will likely have seen this.
But Beirut has scheduled a date in Vancouver for May 22. I don't want to get my hopes up but you never know.
- February 21, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Well, reread my comment about the Foo Fighters but plug in Radiohead. Especially considering it's months apart. Interpol was back in Seattle by October after Sasquatch last year.
Festivals, unless they're part of the bands regular tour schedule, mean virtually nothing in regards to a band playing other shows in the area.
- February 21, 2008 at 3:42 PM
Foo Fighters are in Aukland New Zealand on May 6th, then are in the Netherlands on May 31st.
I just can't see them coming back to the U.S. for one show then flying to Europe.
- February 21, 2008 at 3:57 PM
Sorry Coren it isn't going to happen even if you wish really hard. You will find out on Monday don't you fret.
- February 21, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Pearl Jam sucks. R.E.M. is quite enough 90's rock for me. How about some diversity... Maybe OutKast? Or BlackStar? The White Stripes? The Roots? The Black Keys?
- February 21, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Sadly The White Stripes aren't touring now because Jack White is touring with the Raconteurs, The Black Keys are gonna be in Seattle April 5 according to their site. And I totally agree with some good hip hop like Black Star, The Roots or even better Wu Tang. M.I.A. will probably make up for last year. I'm hoping for My Morning Jacket and The Raconteurs, maybe some Muse. I also hope for Beirut, No Age and MGMT. Also some good comedy!!!! UCB, Human Giant, FoC, Demetri Martin, David Cross, the Comedians of Comedy. Oh man I'm getting myself too excited, I just hope I don't squish my dreams :(.
I know that Death Cab will be there, what a waste.
- February 21, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Sorry Coren it isn't going to happen even if you wish really hard. You will find out on Monday don't you fret.
I'm not trying to say it's indicative of anything, I'm just saying "oh hey, they played in the general vicinity at some point in the last/next 12 calendar months" means absolutely nothing.
Pearl Jam sucks. R.E.M. is quite enough 90's rock for me. How about some diversity
Pearl Jam is nothing like REM and The Cure, no more so than White Stripes are. Who, btw, may never tour again.
- February 21, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Here's why I am still slightly hopeful on Radiohead. Thye finish playing Texas on Monday, May 19. That gives them one full week to do four Californian dates before playing Sasquatch on the following Monday. We know they will be on the East Coast in August. Wouldn't it make sense to do the West Coast at the end of May? Especially for an eco friendly band. This is the 2nd time only Sasquatch are doing three days. Don't they need a really big third headliner to get people to fork up money for an extra day? Personally if it is either Jack Johnson, Death Cab For Cutie or Modest Mouse I will puke. They are all second tier live acts. If it's not Radiohead I am optimistic it will be someone else worthy to headline and end the festival.
- February 21, 2008 at 10:58 PM
Actually it does mean something, if they played an area recently they are not very likely to play it again right away. They want to hit other markets and make sure they do not over saturate any given area, so in conclusion I guess the fact that a band has played an area recently does mean something! It means nothing?? Look at pollstar and tell me how many bands hit the same location twice within a couple months...very small percent so seems like your claim is completely wrong.
- February 21, 2008 at 11:49 PM
Festivals break all rules, and May to August (or September) is not what I'd call "a couple months".
Plus The Gorge is an entirely different market than Seattle. That's like saying playing Portland is the same as playing Seattle.
- February 22, 2008 at 12:18 AM
Gorge is pretty much the same market as Seattle....Seattle, Portland and vancouver make up the vast majority of people at the festival, the same as any Seattle show, huh seems like the same market to me....This is such a stupid argument on both our sides but o well. The point is when it comes to rumors and touring, the fact that a band is playing the same market a couple to a few months later Drastically reduces the chances of them at the festival. You really can not argue with that especially when it comes to big ticket acts. I am right you are wrong, the end.

If Radiohead did make the bill though somehow then I probably owe you a beer at the festival
- February 22, 2008 at 7:56 AM
..I can't argue with it?
Jimmy Eat World did a stint through the northwest in October of 07, then played what is basically the equivalent of a festival in December, and then will be back to the area again in April.
Death Cab did it in 05..they did some shows in September, October, November and then a festival like thing in December, all in the Northwest.
I could go on and on, but really, my point is: Don't count anyone out unless they've already got a conflict.

The Kooks are now playing Vancouver on May 24. Sensible add for Sasquatch.
It would be funny, and by that I mean incredibly disappointing, if the third headliner was the Breeders?
- February 22, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Weird a NW band playing in the NW a lot...wow good example buddy. Jimmy Eat World, haha they need to tour hard to build up fan base and for the cash i'm sure. The point is Big ticket acts like radiohead are not going to hit the same market within a few months, rare occurence.
Also i would like to know about these big ticket acts that you can go on and on about that hit the NW 2-3 times within a year? Please tell...
- February 22, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Listing off NW bands like Mountain goats, supersuckers, decemberists and the local bar bands don't count either...haha
Your "point" reminds me of the good ole saying- "Shit in one hand and hope in the other and see which fills up first..."

If you look back at past Sasquatch shows, they don't typically have huge "arena" acts like Radiohead and Pearl Jam. The only one in recent memory is NIN.
The Sasquatch headliners are almost always bands that do the theatre circuit and have more of a cult following and appeal to the indie / alternative crowd.
i.e. Bjork & Arcade Fire. Interpol & Beasties. Beck & Queens of the Stone Age. Ben Harper & The Flaming Lips. Pixies and Modest Mouse.
The Gorge holds about 20,000 people, so you want typically see bands at Sasquatch that can do those sorts of numbers with their own shows. That's more of a Coachella or 'Roo thing.
So unless they're drastically changing the feel and scope of the festival, I really doubt we'll see Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, STP, etc.

Yeah, I mean, Interpol didn't play the PNW twice within about five months last year. Oh. shit, yeah they did. Ditto Incubus. The Killers did it a while ago. Placebo did it last year, as did My Chemical Romance. I mean, some of these aren't my kind of bands, but they definitely are big ticket bands these days.
And hey, it's not like bands ever play back to back (to back) shows in one area either right? I mean, they can't possibly think they have enough fans to come out to support two or three shows in as many days, can they? Oh...yeah, they do that don't they? If a band can do two and three night stands and draw huge crowds, hitting one area twice in a calendar year is no stretch at all.
More on topic, Travis over at Ear Candy was talking about the possibility (slim) of the Kinks.

WHat do you think the chance of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks?
- February 23, 2008 at 8:09 AM
The Gorge holds way more than 20,000 cuz the numbers for Sas 2006 Day 2 were in the 50,000 range.
- February 23, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Seating capacity is 20,000. No way in hell they could fit anywhere near 50,000... especially with the camping and parking aspects. Not a chance.
- February 23, 2008 at 4:57 PM
I don't know where you heard 50,000 but that figure is way off.
22,000 was the max capacity in 2006 (sold out on the Saturday and Sunday).

Coren not a single band you mentioned even comes close to being a big ticket act comparable to Radiohead...
There was never an argument about a band doing mutli night stands, that makes sense, what doesn't make sense for big bands is to come back every few months. Multi night shows are very successful for big ticket acts...tom petty and dave matthews do it at the gorge all the time.
Not a single band you mentioned is in the same category as radiohead, personally i don't even really like radiohead but that isn't the point. You have to stay on topic during an argument to win lil buddy...it's okay. The number of bands that do come back 2-3 times in one year compared to the number of touring bands who do not is probably less than 1% so your argument is mute. You keep arguing your slim chance in hell argument, it's noble work you are doing.
The Kinks would be interesting, hopefully the second tier acts are diverse.
Monday will be hear soon, then Coren can find out that his slim chance in hell arguments were without any merit.

regarding malkmus and the jicks, i think there's a high change of them playing sasquatch!, about which i am pretty excited. last time they were great, although their crowd was strangely small
- February 23, 2008 at 5:31 PM
The reason Stephen Malkmus's crowd was so small was because he was a last minute add.
- February 23, 2008 at 6:00 PM
You're hilarious. Really.
I'm not saying, never once, that any of these bands WILL play. I'm saying "just because of some far off date in the future that isn't announced, don't discount them".
"less than one percent"? You just said of "touring bands". Aside from really major acts like Tom Petty or Dave Matthews that only hit one area a year and do it for days at a time, over half of bands play one area multiple times in 12 months.
And speaking of doing 3 night stands, how is that ANY different from coming twice in a year? You're still hitting the same audience, pulling from the same fanbase every time. The only difference I see is people can't afford multiple concerts in one month versus four-six months later they can.
Anyway, my goal wasn't to point out bands as big as Radiohead, you asked for "big ticket acts that you can go on and on about that hit the NW 2-3 times within a year? ". And whether or not they're the caliber of or in the category of Radiohead is irrelevant, they're "big ticket". Headlining and coheadlining festivals kind of does that for you. Throw Queens of the Stone Age on that list, playing in both August and December in the PNW (hint: 4 months apart)
Quick, scramble for some other excuse to make my argument mute. Of course, since I'm not talking, my argument is pretty silent to begin with. Maybe you meant moot?
- February 23, 2008 at 10:00 PM
what do you all think about the possibility of the postal service or sufjan stevens playing? I realize they're not playing dates right now, but both could be pretty big names to add. It should be easy for postal service especially, if death cab is already playing.
- February 24, 2008 at 9:21 AM
"your argument is mute" ha ha ha ha ha
Best comeback ever.

One more day!!! and i hope it doesn't suck!!!!
- February 24, 2008 at 11:33 AM
If the third headliner is NOT Radiohead, I think a great "surprise" and dream come true would be Kanye West followed by Daft Punk. Oh man I just gave myself goosebumps.
And heres hoping for Destroyer, The Raconteurs, MGMT & MMJ!!!!!
- February 24, 2008 at 12:30 PM
Sorry, anonymii, but Kanye is far less likely than Radiohead, who themselves are about a 2 percent chance to play.
Destroyer is a pretty solid guess, but Ladytron and Datarock seem to be pretty much eliminated, sadly.
I think SS to be more likely than the Postal Service, who haven't done an album in years, and then even only have one album to pull from. I think Chris Walla playing a solo set is fairly likely though, especially with DCFC basically confirmed.
Daft Punk and MMJ are fantastic...but probably not Saquatch's kind of band. MGMT will probably be there though.
- February 24, 2008 at 2:17 PM
I know that both Kanye and Daft Punk will not be there, I was just showing what I thought would make an AMAZING final Headliner since the others are lack luster for me. But thanks for reaffirming that they won't be there. No hard feelings
- February 24, 2008 at 6:39 PM
We're now going to play so you wankers will stop crying.
- February 24, 2008 at 8:32 PM
no funny
