Empire Records is on VH1 right now! I LOVE this movie! :)

Did you know…

A sign by the register that says “Have a nice daze” shows the logo for Dazed and Confused (1993). Rory Cochrane, who plays Lucas, played Slater in Dazed and Confused.

Liv Tyler’s character (Corey) dates a character called AJ. In Armageddon, Liv Tyler’s character (Grace) also dates a character called AJ (Ben Affleck.) They don’t really DATE in this movie though.... AJ is just in love with Corey.

Robin Tunney’s character (Debra) has a horizontal suicide-attempt scar on her wrist. In The Craft, her character has a vertical suicide-attempt scar.

Quotes :
Lucas: Joe, is it O.K. if I leave the couch? ‘Cause I’m gonna leave the couch now, okay? My ass is falling asleep, so I gotta go. I’m leaving.

[Answering the phone.]
Mark: Empire Records, open ‘til midnight, this is DrummerBoy.
[pause]
Mark: Midnight.

A.J.: You did have hair when you went in there, right?
Debra: Yeah. It’s still in the sink, if you want to glue it.

Mitch: Why do I get the feeling that I’m being royally screwed?
Joe: Because you are, Mitch.

Gina: Well “Sinead O’Rebellion.” Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior.
Debra: God, that is so clever. I swear you get smarter the shorter your skirt gets.

Gina: Attention Rex Manning fans, to your left you will notice a shoplifter being chased by night manager Lucas. This young man will be caught, deep fried in a vat of hot oil and served to our first hundred customers. Just another tasty treat from the gang at Empire Records

Gina: Oh no, Debra, don’t be bitter, surely with your ever growing collection of flesh mutilating silver appendages and your brand new neo-nazi boot camp makeover the boys will come a-runnin’!

Lucas: I do not regret the things I have done, but those I did not do.

DrummerBoy: We mustn’t dwell...no, not today! We CAN’T! Not on Rex Manning day!

im doing the rest of my stories here from the Flywheel/Disturbed concert. the first set are here. and the original entry is here again. some of these stories are kinda “lame” but they are memories I wanted to share. ::grin::

2. kid in blue jersey when the groupies were getting thrown out there was this kid in a blue jersey that was heckling the cop. the heard him and told the kid to wait there and he would “deal with him in a minute.” After about 15 minutes the kid took his Jersey off, stuffed it down his pants and went back inside. The cop was so distracted that he didn’t notice. You almost wanted to applauded that kid. He had balls. ::tongue::

3. you are going the wrong way guys when I was passing out flyers and stuff before the show I saw this group of guys heading up from their cars to wait in line. I kinda yelled at them and said “hey..wait..yall are goin the wrong way” I wanted to come be in line on the Flywheel side - and they were heading to the 98 Rock side. The listened. It was funny. I thought that they would just look at me funny and blow me off. But they listened. They went over to the other side of the Sun Dome and waited in line where I told them too. It was cool.

4. my broken shirt While handing out flyers...again...I caught the string thing of my shirt...the really cool one I got at Lane Bryant...on the wind shield wiper and it broke. Now it looks all funny. I think I am going to have to cut the strings off. No more toys on my clothes now ::cry::

5. how BORING disturbed was The most exciting thing, really, about their show was the really pretty light show. And yes, I called a Rock Band’s light show “pretty.” It was quite striking. I really liked it, and it was really the only thing I did like. The music was really muddy, the lead singer looked like a dancer from Stax of Wax at WOF, and the guitarists looked like, from where i was sitting, Scott Stapp - a guy I really don’t like. ::sad::

6. you can’t be checked out - it’s impossible When I took Pam to her hotel so that she could check out, the lady at the desk told her that she couldn’t check out. It was impossible. At first we thought was kidding - but she wasn’t. It was weird. Pam took it all in stride though - she just said “well that’s fine, but I am still leaving tonight - in like 10 minutes, whether you check me out or not.” I find it really odd that you cannot check out of a hotel when you want to. The girl wasn’t very nice either. She also called the meal ticket things “gold” HELLO!?! They are worth like 4 fucking bucks. It was so lame. ::rolleyes::

8. girl who smells like coconuts and wore fake hair so..this girl..had this big old fake head of dreads goin on. when i first saw her she had on tight tight pants and a tank top. i was giving her a flyer - she smelled REALLY good. the next time i saw her was about 5 minutes before the doors were about to open and she had on these tight little hot pants. she looked GOOD, but was prolly about 17 and stupid as shit. her buddy sure liked her though. he held her place in line for like 2 hours by himself. he was 1st in line too.

9. guy in bright lime yellow there was this guy that we saw in line that had on this BRIGHT lime yellow t-shirt - the kind you shouldn’t look right at cause it will burn your retinas. it was fucking bright. and he was a BIG guy too. tall and round. when we were INSIDE the sun dome we saw him down in the pit. he really stood. i do believe that was his point, and i said that when I first saw him too.

11. Kirby getting flashed and missing it During the Flywheel show Kirby was video tapping for Jimmi. This girl was walking toward the and she saw him with the camera. She just pulled her tank top down over her boobies and flashed the video camera. Kirby didn’t see it and he didn’t get it on tape either. It was H-I-L...really funny! ::grin::

13. pissin off the 98 rock guys Karina put flyers for the Flywheel show on the 98 rock vans. they didn’t like that very much. too bad for them. their band S-U-C-K-E-D! ::laugh::

14. you tell me why you are wearing a skirt and flying a flag, and ill tell you why im carrying these flyers So..when I was at the Student Union there was this guy standing outside in a kilt and flying this big white flag. I walked up to him and said “you tell me why you are wearing a skirt and flying a flag, and ill tell you why im carrying these flyers.” (I am so CLEVER. ::grin:: ) It was student election day - he was flying the flag to encourage people to vote. It was fair trade. He was cute. And he was half naked. He was about 19 though. Oh well.

so that is all I have for stories from the Flywheel concert outside the Sun Dome. ::kiss:: I talk a lot.

since I don’t have to go to work yet I am going to take on some of my stories from last nights show. some of them aren’t as fabulous as others ::smiley::

1. groupies ::laugh:: they are stupid after Flywheel was done playing the boys went to go change. Pam (one of their managers) Carolyn (merchandise goddess), the sound girl (can’t remember her name) and I were all sitting on the bench outside the doors of the Sun Dome waiting for them. Out the doors walks a cop and 6 girls. We joked about their outfits - they were all wearing tight little tops and skirts. We KNEW that they were groupies. You could hear them bitching that they were being ejected after unloco and taproot. That they had spent 37.50 on tickets. How they had backstage passes. They were pissed, but we couldn’t quite tell why they were being ejected. well...after chevelle was done and the roadies were setting up for disturbed we (Pam, Stephen and I) went walking round for food. I noticed those 6 girls were on the stage, in the back. I pointed it out to Pam and this guy tapped me on the shoulder. He said that he noticed them too and had already pointed it out to THE cop who sent them out in the first place. I then noticed him and he looked PISSED! I watched him go down, pull them off stage and escort them off the stage. Serves em right. Stupid girls. Stupid GROUPIES ::angry:: ::laugh::

7. red heads niece and the fucking I drove Pam back to her hotel so that she could check out and go to the hotel in Orlando with the guys. I was reading a magazine. There was this article about bad boys - where guys would write in and say crappy things they did. The jist of the one I wanted to talk about was this. This guy had a bad break up with a fianc�e. He moved to California. He came back for a visit 8 years later. Met a hot chick at the bar - a red head. Spent all night fucking her. Next morning woke up and went pee. Noticed picture on the wall. Realized that this chick was his ex-fianc�es niece, who he hadn’t seen since was 13. Didn’t tell her. Left the next day.

10. Steven and his no corn dog eating self ::huh:: Stephen had never had a corn dog before yesterday. He was looking for a hot dog but they didn’t have any. So when I got a corn dog he said “what do those taste like?” I gave him a bite of mine and he liked it, so he got his own. I KNOW that he’s from Manchester but still! He had NEVER had a corn dog before. I took his corn dog virginity. Ya know - that was funnier in my head.

12. i think they are vampires I made a joke. I told the boys that I was beginning to think that they were vampires. Cause I had never seen them during the day. It was nice to see them in the sun. ::smiley::

15. what the hell is the title of this entry all about (BullShit) I was watching Penn and Tellers Showtime show called Bullshit. This one was about the self help industry. This guy was talking about how it’s really easy to let go of our problems. We just ask ourselves, could, would and when? As in could we let go of it, would we let go of it, and when will we let go of it. Yah. I just found it really funny that someone could actually SAY that it’s as easy as that. Some people. I swear

huge day. im beat. walked almost as much today as I did when we lost our car. i have visions of lime green and neon orange in my head. ::cry::
