only total up to 49. And Java has 61. What's up with the discrepancy?

Java counted spouses/partners,etc. separately.

ION, I now have fishnet tights. I am ready.

What a coincidence! Me too. (My first pair; it's revelatory! I keep staring at my own legs-- they're weirdly sleek and shadowed and sculpted, it's great I'm never wearing any other stockings ever.)

... ND, I wasn't paying attention to the music-gathering conversation thread, because I know nothing about 90% of rock/pop music; but I just this week discovered (went to my first rock concert-- did all these unintentionally hilarious things like assuming there would be, you know, seats, or a place to put down my bag, and that I could go in and out by flashing my ticket stub, and that I wouldn't need to have my fingers in my ears the entire time, and that they wouldn't want to exhaustively search the aforementioned bag which happened to contain a ton of shit including a t-shirt and a sweater and a novel and a newspaper and a copy of Playboy and an iPod and a bottle of hairspray and those fishnet tights in their package.... but it was great!) some music I might want to bring, like, possibly, it occurs to me; so how is this working-- are people bringing CDs to you, or are you assembling it all, or whatever?

I realize it will probably not happen, but having typed the previous paragraph I'm kind of reluctant to delete it.

Rebecca, ND has, roughly, Every Song Ever Recorded already on his computer, so he's just putting together a mix based on requests and what worked last year. No need to bring CDs.

Let me know what you'd like to hear. I may well have it. I'm bringing my 16,000 track music library and have a rough mix already put together. It's all playing back from my powerbook.

I see. Um, hm, do you have The Dresden Dolls?

Dude, I love the lovely Lizard. So much.

I wanna Sheryl in the Red Hot Riding Hood outfit!

Dude! I haven't come across anyone else who knows them! A friend introduced me to them a month or so ago, and I loved "Girl Anachronism" to death. I bought the CD recently, and while I didn't love it all immediately, I'm warming up to it.

Eee! A friend in NY said she was considering coming to their Friday Philly show, and I was all, "I don't really go to concerts but if you make it down I'll take you out to dinner before or something", and she sent me to their website and I watched the GA video (!) a million times in fascination and somehow ended up going to the show in my friend's place.

And, well! My ears are still ringing! But they were very very lovely and charming, I was very charmed.

This is horrifically OT. Oh well. I had to go through dozens of teasing-ND posts while playing catchup the other evening.

Oh, the humanity.
