So far, Rolling Stone has confirmed an almost-unbelievable list of artists, all of whom have contributed at least one song to the production. Names like David Bowie, Aerosmith, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, T.I., The Flaming Lips, Lady Antebellum, Panic! At The Disco, and several others are all on board for the project.
I finally worked up courage to go to the bar down the road for the 2nd half of the game. Decided since storms might be happening later that I would take dog for a hike on the nature trail down the street, then come back and shower quickly. After a nice 2.5 mile walk, I get back to the car to find that I am missing the change purse that I had wedged in my pocket, containing of course all of my cash and my ATM card. Retraced my steps and could not find it. Soooo...had to cancel the ATM and missed all hope of going anywhere. Thank goodness I still have my checkbook and my drivers license (when I moved I did the address change online and so had basically 2 valid drivers licenses, so took the older one in the little portable change purse).

Just damn!!!!!
You have some of the worst luck sometimes. Sorry about all that.
ah, the irony. found my wayward change purse under my car seat a few minutes ago (after I had looked before!) of course, by this time had canceled the ATM card and the bank can't undo the action - even tho its the weekend. So, I am at home, sitting on my balcony, getting shitfaced way too quickly on wine. FML haha
Talk of a major festival coming to SE North Carolina. If this happens y'all have to come to my neck of the woods. Fingers crossed.
BOLIVIA -- It could be Brunswick County's very own Bonnaroo.
A group in the preliminary stages of trying to found a significant music festival in North Carolina is considering Brunswick County, among other places.
Wednesday, that group and Brunswick County officials met to discuss the logistics that would be necessary to support the 50,000 attendees the festival is considering bringing in. The targeted date is Memorial Day weekend 2016.
"Our goal for the festival is not only to highlight local talent alongside big-name artists, but to bring visitors from all over the nation to boost the local economy," Karen Porter, who identified herself as legal counsel for Carolina Music Festival LLC, wrote in an Aug. 18 email to Brunswick officials.
Mike Hargett, Brunswick County's director of planning and community development, said Wednesday's meeting went well.
"There's considerable interest on both sides," Hargett said, adding that specific details remain sparse because the planning process is in such early stages.
If festival organizers decide to move ahead and hold the event in the southeastern part of the state, one of the spots they're looking at is Greenlands Farm, 688 Midway Road SE, and some neighboring properties.
Festival organizers, though, are gauging not only where they could hold the event, but if they can even pull it off.
Among the logistics that would need to be ironed out are permitting, how to offer food and beverages -- including alcohol -- and whether on-site camping would be possible.
Emails between Hargett and Porter indicate that, if it happens, the festival would be akin to Cincinnati's Bunbury Festival, which pulled in 60,000 people in 2015, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Both Brunswick officials and the potential organizers see having a significant music event as a replacement, in ways, for the film industry, which has been dismantled by recent legislation that significantly limits state-funded incentives.
"The exposure, I suppose, would be beneficial," Hargett said. "Not the same as, but somewhat like, the movie and TV exposure in the area."

I'm currently sitting at my parents house, doing laundry and struggling to finish this delicious Hofbrau Oktoberfest my dad gave me. Every sip makes my liver yell "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Edit: now out in Saratoga with friends. Liquor does not make my liver scream. Game on.
We've spilt 2 rather expensive beers. I'm pretty sure our waiter hates us.
Edit 2: I think I meant spilled. Spilt isn't a word?
Its a proven fact that more people will like your comments on inforoo if they involve food.
Fair enough. Good music, good food. I think we appreciate life and what makes us happy. We're into pleasure- we like our ears being happy and our mouths.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
My local bar, where a lot of who know that I spend WAY too much of my time, had their deed change hands this weekend. Apparently they aren't completely sure what their plan is- if it'll be business as usual, if they'll have to re-interview, if they'll close for any kind of renovation... I am nervous for my second home! And the worst part about the change is the new owners themselves which my friend (a bartender there) said are "two Jersey Shore guido type douchebags" who have been in the bar the past few weekends with "wads of cash buying girls drinks." For reference, the previos owners are well dressed wine snobs (I say that with love) with beautiful, flowy hair.

We need another douchey Guido bar round here like a hole in the head. At least the boughie wine bar fit the neighborhood.

My former favorite bar/second home recently underwent a huge change. I'm happy for them because they're doing business like mad and upgraded the building a ton. But I miss my dark dingy dive bar that secretly served really great craft beer and had mediocre bar good. They've got waitresses and white plates now. No ordering food from the bartenders and waiting to hear your name screamed through the masses so you could grab your red basket of wings anymore.

We really don't have too much of that around here. This place does turn clubby Thursday-Saturday after 10:00, but I am always gone by then. It's always why these guys were attracted to it, I am sure!

This article states that Sam Smith is the singer behind the new James Bond theme song, along with a little help from Disclosure. Interested in how this will play out, I was a big fan of Adele's track on the last film. Don't really know too many other Bond theme songs besides Live and Let Die and the one Jack White did with Alicia Keys.

I'm sad for you.
its okay! I found another bar to call home. To be honest, I think I kinda outgrew the old one. They have a pretty big late night & college scene. I can't hang with those kids anymore.

This was actually the #1 song in the country when I was born

My wife and I got to meet Edward James Olmos at DragonCon! Also ran into Jamie Bamber, James Callis, & Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica as well as Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell) from GoT in random, cramped elevator rides. No pics of those sadly.
I enjoyed the interview with Jeb, even though it was edited badly. I thought he asked some questions that put Bush in a tough spot without just coming out and attacking the guy. I fast forwarded through the Clooney segment. The skit with the Oreos was pretty horrible to me, as was most of the monologue for this first episode. Jon Batiste and Stay Human sounded good and I enjoyed the musical closer with Mavis, Brittany, Buddy Guy, Tedeschi Trucks, St. Paul, etc. Colbert's personality was a bit too over the top and corny for me until he got down to the interviews. I look forward to seeing him grow into the late night spot and will be watching all week.
