Unfortunately, You Only Get One - Kotaku
Montreal’s own Clever Cupcakes on Kotaku! I know these kids… they cater many of our CJLO events, and are in fact “the official cupcake of CJLO 1690 AM” and therefore know exactly how to appeal to the geek in everyone. Follow the link through to see comic book, tech, QR code, KISS and Super Mario Brothers cupcakes, as well as all the other creative ways they spin sugar and flour into cleverness!

dig on (industrial and/or punk) music?

Tune in to Grade A Explosives RIGHT NOW on CJLO 1690 AM / cjlo.com… it’s an all-industrial special, including an interview with Gen from the Genitorturers!

Also, don’t forget, CJLO punk night is tonight at Katacombes. I’m djing late this time (1-2 am), but I’ll be there earlier for drinks and hangouts.

Catch me again tomorrow morning as I help cohost the CJLO morning show with CJLO’s man on the inside, Karl Knox. I’ll be there as early as possible, which, for the mathematically inclined, means roughly 4 hours of sleep for me tonight… Talkin’ politics and philosophy when sleep deprived? Hell yeah, bring it on. I should be even less filtered than usual.

things i want to do during my week off:

  • listen to shooter jennings’ new album, black ribbons.
  • play the sims 2 compulsively.
  • see alice in wonderland in imax 3d.
  • cohost the CJLO morning show.
  • DJ at CJLO’s punk night.
  • sleep in.
  • have a nice big sunday breakfast.

things i should do during my week off:

  • continue manually stripping the kitchen floor.
  • put a bunch of stuff on craigslist.
  • finally settle on a wireless usb stick/new modem.
  • either fix my broken dvd burner(s), or buy a new one.
  • work on 2 posters, one magazine layout, one ballot layout and one print ad.

things i will probably end up doing during my week off:

  • play the sims 3, wishing it was sims 2.
  • cohost the CJLO morning show.
  • DJ at CJLO’s punk night.
  • sleep in.
  • grudgingly work on 2 posters, one magazine layout, one ballot layout and one print ad.
  • have a nice big sunday breakfast.

Join me, Curly Sue, as well as Wheels, Robot, Goodness and friends at Ye Olde Orchard pub (1189 De La Montagne) tonight for the second to last CJLO pub quiz. Week one, team Can’t Just Lick Once came in at a respectable 3rd place… Last week, we bumped it up to 2nd. This week, we have a legitimate shot at 1st place, but you can only reap the reward if yr butt is in the seat at 8:15 tonight. Come early and grab some dinner… the capon wings are spectacular. Did you know that a capon is a castrated rooster? If you did, our team needs you tonight!

things that are on my mind:

the fact that i didn’t go see mötley crüe.

the fact that i did arrange most of my weekend plans around 1 vs. 100 live.

the realization that the nerdy part of me seems to be slowly vanquishing the banger in me.

making it into the mob again yesterday, but having the one take the $$ (again).

being the 5th best player in the crowd, yet coming in as the #3 winner of that day’s arcade game (marvel vs. capcom 2), and how that might be possible.

CJLO pub quiz tonight, round 2 at ye olde orchard. if you’re ready to either join or challenge the 3rd place champs, you should come on out.

the first ever CJLO battle of the bands! (still four days to submit, btw.)

mead. meaderies. oysters as big as my hand. veuve cliquot. chocolatines. portuguese-style halal chicken.

naps.

Tonight! I dunno about you, but I’m ready to kill it with my vast mental repository of totally inconsequential information. Did I mention I’m super modest, too? You should come play… are you up to it?

roundin’ the corner on the rad new poster i’m designing for CJLO’s monthly punk night at Katacombes… but having trouble with the neck closeup. i need someone to do some quick tendon/adam’s apple action for me. remuneration? nothin’ but my admiration. seriously, i need someone to do some neckin’.

oh, and if you like punk rock and cheap beer, come on down to katacombes this thursday for the first of many awesome nights. they tell me i’m djing… no cover. 9pm.
