That's right, Theory 8 presents Forget Cassettes, Apollo Up, and Sincerity Guild at the End on Saturday Feb. 14th. Finally, a reason to be glad I'm not anchored down to some stupid girl.

Yeah, I pretty much hate the idea of Valentine's day, but I'm determined to have a good one this year (and it won't have anything to do with Flickerstick).
I TOTALLY AGREE!


Keith, you are destined to rock. Never forget this.

YDDD and I are having a massive video game weekend at my place. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, we'll have 600 NES games, 500 Super Nintendo games, 100 arcade games, a dozen Gamecube games, and no significant others. (Token's getting deported back to Canada where she came from!)

If anyone's interested in stopping by, let me know!

Now I just need to practice my X-Men vs. Street Fighter skills...

Yes, "the man" has demanded that I be away from my newlywed honey on Valentines...but don't worry, I think it's a stupid contrived "romantic" holiday anyway. But I do love me some Yadadada, February the 14th or no.

Have fun videogaming it up. I will say I will be glad to be absent from such festivities.

I'm sad about missing the big Sutler show, though...and seeing Forget Cassettes would be rather nice too.

Maybe, in Vancouver, I'll see The New Pornographers.

Okay, no, but it was nice to entertain such thoughts for a second.

Huh, 666.

Yes!

Hey, did any of the rest of you participate in Datamatch in high school? I did. The results were very comical.

I ended up dating the girl I was matched with, when I was a senior, for over 2 years.

Datamatch is where you fill out a form with dating questions on it and they compare with other scores of the opposite sex and its meant to find your true love...hahahaha

Oh, yes. One of my best high school memories was when I was filling out my questionaire my senior year and the cute girl beside me on whom I had a terrible crush said, "Hey, let me see yours."

"Why?" I asked.

"So I can make sure we have all the same answers so you'll be at the top of my list."

Somebody needs to get a hold onto one of these "datamatch" forms (Token & YDDD, I'm looking your way) so that we can have a message board match-making game. Carl, you know that it's destiny.

Hmm....that would be very fun...and probably not too difficult. I'll see what I can do.

I just wanted to say that your icon continues to screw with my head, TF. When I read this, I thought it was Token. Let's just say I was a little confused. And excited.

you forgot "let's bee friends" (and there's a picture of a bee on it!!).

those datamatch things were hilarious. my senior year i put down the most random answers i could think of. i was more than pleased to find that my top match was a boy who was most remembered for the phrase "yo girl, can i see yo' homework?" score!


and oh yeah, the forget cassettes show sounds pretty sweet. i'll be considering it.

We didn't have Datamatch in Arizona. Probably because like 10% or more of the class wound up dropping out pregnant before graduation anyway, so they were afraid to encourage any hooking up.

Our datamatch became corrupt by the third year we did it. People would put in fake names an genders to spice things up. Apparently the most datable girl in school was Mary Jane Smokalot.

i don't think we have datamatch this year. we had it last year but i never understood the concept until it was too late. does your school do the carnations?

i gave away monster valentines last year. they had catchy lines like "have a creepy valentines day"
i will dig a tunnel from my window to yours.

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. So everyone in the school fills out some sort of survey? And then they take the results of this survey and "match" people up? And then they publish the results?!! Call me crazy, but wouldn't that create some incredibly awkward situations?

When my school did it, it was a fundraiser done by the cheerleaders. Everyone fills out a survey, but to get the results, you give 'em a dollar. My matches were always so silly....

You were given your results. All the school's results were not published.

It was a little embarrassing when my older brother and his friends read my results before I did, and then began scheming to hook me up with the # 1 on my list (who was the younger sister of on of his friends).
