which I'd like to either sell ($15), or give away (for free) to someone who could help me line-sit tomorrow. I have the Kill Hannah weekend pkg so will be going to the Q&A and I'd love for my space to still be there when I got back... I'll be in line early but would probably need to cab up to A&K around 11:30ish. Obviously this wouldn't work for anyone who is either hanging w/Sisky at Metro or hanging at A&K in hopes William can get a few extra folks in.

In other news, I was thinking of foregoing the glowsticks for once, since they seem not terribly appropriate to an acoustic show at Reggie's. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

& finally - yes, I go to shows at Reggie's all the time and it sounds like other people don't, so feel free to ask questions if you need to. I'll be in line for hours at Reggie's today for Day 1 of New Heart, so unless my fingers freeze off, I should have plenty of time for replies.

just got this tweet from MetroChicago

stop by Metro to buy Tickets for the Almost Here anniversary from the guys themselves at Metro's Box Office!

not as epic as the news below but photoguy julian posted some ( photos of the fellas! )

Dearest SLH -

I wanted to send this note out to all of you before the rest of the world
so here it is:

On behalf of my band, I am excited to announce that we will be playing a
SPECIAL SHOW at the Metro on February 6th* to celebrate the FIVE YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF ALMOST HERE'S RELEASE!!!

Almost Here has always been a reminder of where we come from, and we
couldn't be more excited to celebrate with all of you at our favorite
venue in the world.

Pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively for you this Thursday the
17th and will come with some extra special goodies.

Love,
Sisky Business

and here's what Bill has to say about it:


( from Bill's blog - surprises, magic, giveaways and MORE!  )

SO gonna plan on going, holy shit! FLIGHT AND HOTEL ARE BOOKED!

*I edited Sisky's original text with the corrected date that appeared in the myspace announcement.
sue me.

Heyyyyyy guys! Long time no see. Or write. Or whatever. If y'all even know who I am anymore...?

Even though I've slowly stopped listening to TAI... (I think mostly just because I've listened to them so much I needed something new haa) I want to do my senior dance solo next semester to a TAI... song since they've accompanied me throughout high school. My dilemma is that TAI... is very obviously a rock band when one tries to choreograph a dance to them, so I'm having trouble picking a song. You Might Have Noticed is a very possible contender with the huge ol' problem of a giant cuss word at the beginning. Is there such thing as an edited version of it? I'm assuming not since it never came out as a single (let alone that it's like, the most unappreciated song of theirs) but I thought I'd try.

Just an update...

for those who gave advice on the post I posted the other day about that girl who never sent the prints...

her emails are now being bounced back. grrrrrr. if anyone else gets ahold of her please let me know. :-/

Tune into Fuse's The Raccoon Society on Dec 19 from noon-1:30pm. There will be a live Q and A featuring William and Kill Hannah's Mat Devine!

Also, Chicago - don't forget that William will be performing an acoustic set on Dec 19 at Reggie's. "A Night in the City" is a benefit show, and all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

it sounds like it's supposed to be on tv but I can't find it

Sorry to be a pain... it's possible this has come up already and I didn't see it... (I haven't been lurking here much lately)

About 8 months ago someone first offered pictures that she took of William. I paid her some money and she told me she'd send them.

She then left for school and didn't have access to the dark room. I posted here and she responded saying she'd get them out soon.

It's now december and I haven't gotten anything. I tried sending her an email and the address bounced back.

Has anyone else who ordered prints been having this issue? Have they gotten their prints? I'm really annoyed and getting pissed... if she doesn't want to send out the prints, just tell me and give me my money back!

Bill, Sisky and The Butcher were just on MTV Styl'd
LMAO.
It's like the Pete Wentz, Clandestine episode.
The House of Harlow/Clandestine Fashion show
I don't know, I was randomly flipping and went...waiiitttttt...

They helped Bill pick out an outfit...aka, Grey jeans, Black button up, Grey vest with the red button.

Edit: They just did a little recap, apparently some guy styled them all...ummm....so he uh put their own clothes on them...they look the same way they do everyday.
But uh, congrads dude?

Edit: They show a bit of their performance and the designer is pretty much like upset he had to work with them. :| rude.

err this.








Caption: Although Brett is disappointed when he's not assigned to style the girls, he still shines while working with The Academy Is.

sorry guys... there was an imeem player of TAI's cover of "Working Class Hero" but apparently when myspace bought out imeem they have fucked it up. I'll fix it when I get home....

So TAI has changed musically throughout their career. Can you direct me to any quotes/interviews with the guys talking about why they went in a different direction, etc? Thanks!

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
