My parents had a set like that but not quite in those colors, with the exception go the big yellow one which I kept because it’s the one I learned to bake with.

Me too! I stopped trying to save him since he didn’t want to save himself.

They are (were?) a fun band, which made the attack all the more shocking. You don’t go to a EODM show to think too hard. But Jesse’s always had a bit of a screw loose, which is why I feared this thing might push him over the edge.

I knew he was a bit to the right before the attacks. After the attacks I was afraid he might go in this direction. Sigh...

I have an extraordinarily terrible work schedule in which I work nights and weekends. I have basically become a cameo role in my friends’ lives. They have pretty much given up on inviting me anywhere. I get it, they’re sick of hearing “Sorry, working” every time they ask, but it still sucks. Combine this with the fact…

This. I wear as much structured clothing as I can. Inevitably some of it comes off as low cut. If it makes me look like I’m built like a brick shit house so be it, because I am. I’m not going to wear a sack to be “appropriate”.

For the life of me I will never understand why people try to own these things. It’s like having an ape that’s super nice until you look at it the wrong way and it rips your face off.

I adored his Prince Hal but couldn’t get on board with his Henry V. Then again, once you go Branagh...

Those espadrilles!

Why do all of these guys who pull this shit look like a thumb with a face drawn on it?

Yes, exactly. I don’t want to be remembered as That Asshole Fan With No Boundaries.

I get it, and I adore Branagh, but “just 10 minutes here” and another 15 there...when does it end? It’s like when your boss says you might have to stay late or come in on Saturday. Branagh’s job may be more glamorous and better paid but at some point he would probably just like to get home.

Thanks for this take. I often wonder what I would do if I saw my favorite band’s lead singer in public. On one hand it’s a once in a lifetime chance (you seem to have a job/life where you have contact with these types. I don’t). On the other, does he look like he just wants to sit there and eat his tacos? Is he with…

Soooooo are we not going to talk about the fact that Princess Leia and her dog are on the red carpet with Loki?

I watched it last night too and some of it was hard to get through. I feel like he’s going to regret some of the things he said even though they were jokes. Still there were parts that had me crying I was laughing so hard (the bit about the post office and DMV are priceless, especially since I work a similar job).

It was one of the highlights of my life. I remember he came out and started noodling on his guitar and I thought, oh shit, is he going to be difficult and play jazz guitar for 2 hours? And then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Morris Day and Jerome Benton!”. They did the whole bit with the mirror and everything. Damn.

I was privileged to have seen him live, at Coachella in 2008. He brought out The Time and Sheila E and I thought I had entered nirvana. Then he launched into Radiohead’s “Creep” and I just stood there, mouth wide open, doing that laugh/cry thing you get to do only a few times in your life. If the world had ended at…

To this day when I go to Target with my Mom we say, “Put it in the cart, Mom will buy you shit!”

My boyfriend couldn’t either, I think you just like it or you don’t.

I cried more over Bowie than my grandmother. If that’s wrong I don’t want to be right.
