Then those kids grow up only knowing that food needs to be unwrapped so you dont bite into the paper, and so on and so on.

Sailor Scout House is fucking rad, is La Casa also a house venue? I've been seeing it pop up a lot recently.

Yeah we need more info on La Casa... We might have to make a band trip to go see these guys. It's the saturday night the day after I get back from vacay so I might be able to make it out.

Trying to make sense of this since I am not following this thread much, but are you going to be at these dates?

I might be able to make the one of the first 3 dates but they are right before my wedding (26th) so I am a bit backed up with that.

We shall see

Grant from In the Company of Serpents explained some of the logistics and it seems like a good idea. He said (and I think this is coming from his/a CPA) that if you file as a musician, you can write off albums that you buy as job-related research. It also probably depends on whether or not a slight boost to your gross income would bump you into a higher tax bracket.

Also, RE: obesity, Phil (the other guitar/vox guy in Khemmis) and I are both PhD students in sociology, and he focuses on health/life outcomes. He just published a paper that considers context effects on reported life satisfaction and obesity. Neat stuff! - http://www.colorado.edu/news/multimedia ... -one-lives

Hell i got in shape and I didn't eat better, I easily ate fast food and cheap bullshit and just worked out and lost weight and gained muscle. It's about dedicated the time to do so or at least in my experience it is. I only started eating better as in just cut out all the garbage later on. Still eat on the cheap but you can still eat healthy on that cheap.

Sorry it just all sounds like excuses to me otherwise.

I think your point of view is probably valid for middle class Americans, but it's hard to discount the co-morbidity of obesity, diabetes and malnutrition in communities below the poverty line. There are urban areas where the only places to buy food are a convenience store or fast food chain. It's starting to happen in third world nations too, as populations become more urbanized and industrialized food proliferates. Here in the US it used to be that fast food was a suburban luxury thing and poor people ate whole foods (rice, beans, fish, a few veggies). Now fresh prepared whole foods are for people with money to spend and/or who are health conscious and double bacon western cheeseburgers are cheap as dirt and filled with more calories than most people should eat in a day.

When it comes to people like me and you, who can afford to eat whatever food we want (within reason) and probably have easy access to multiple grocery stores and farmers market, obesity is definitely a different issue. Then it's just down to knowing good choices and being lazy, self soothing with food and all of that. Not the same for everyone though, different communities all across the country can be like different countries, some really varied everyday experiences.

thanks for the well wishes!

I went to Harbor Freight with a coupon and bought a cheap dirty water pump a couple weeks ago. Planning ahead for that same task.
