"a bicycle was smashed over his head," http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20090713/NEWS/90713005/1001 " Police said John Deering, 46, was attacked in the 1100 block of 21st Street about 9:15 p.m . " Hmmm.... Drake students, perhaps? kind of out of drake neighborhood area, ...

dude is only, like, five foot tall. did not expect that for some reason when i met him at the Val Air. he is really, really good, though. get his instructional dvd. prettttty stupid.

and as someone who has lived in the drake area for five+ years, i can tell you that the drake students are generally the ones that cause the problems. the only violent crimes i can think of since i've lived in the neighborhood were white folks (but my memory isn't all that great sometimes). I'm gla...

lol lol lol lol Ok, then where was I wrong? lol The part where you made a bunch of assumptions and then assumed you were right. You know, that part? -Joe. Oh yeah, that part. The part where the egalitarians of this forum proved that they were well behaved African-American children from decent middl...

no, it's called ridiculous stereotypes. and racism. philadelphia isn't des moines and actually has a large amount of black people. just because they're black doesn't mean they're from "the ghetto." and 60 kids of ANY COLOR will be "unruly," not just black kids. i mean, they're a...

the term "racism" is used way too lightly.

unless the person / people have a history of racially-based aggression (even non-physical) and hatred. then it's racism. to me, at least.

no, it's called ridiculous stereotypes. and racism. RIDICULOUS stereotypes? No, a ridiculous stereotype would be all people under 5 ft. with red hair from ireland are actually leprechauns. Black people being poor, annoying as fuck, and a drain on culture and society is not. These are all bullshit a...

where in the article does it say anything about these kids being from "the ghetto?" where does it say they were unruly? I have some special gifts, Eddie. They're called "common sense", "experience" and "probability". When I analyze information sometimes I'm a...

The thing is, though, they were paid for and then kicked out. Additionally, their actions instigated quite a bit of bad publicity. That, to me, is bad business, regardless of their reasoning behind it. Honestly, these guys made the right financial choice (potential lawsuits aside) by giving these k...

just to throw in my two cents: i think the "scene" here is pretty good. my theory as to why there is low attendance is the number and quality of shows. if you have a show every night, very few people are going to be able to --or want to- make it out to them. fewer, but higher quality shows...

jill and i kinda rule.

Nick wrote:Jesus....so there were Cop jokes during the whole Banner Pilot set?

jill and i yelled them every time it went quiet.

I listened to the Banner Pilot set again and caught a few more that made me laugh. "Don't speed in front of that guy." "Don't download music in front of that guy." "Oh shit! I don't have a muffler on my car, I'm gonna get busted." "Don't sell shrooms next to that ...

remember the fight that mustard plug caused here on 515crew last time they came to des moines? who wants to start that up again? geez.

i had a lot of fun. i'm glad nick is a sport and took all my cop jokes well.

and i finally met davo in real life. pretty fun night.

you know you can take your criticisms of ZZZ and talk to them about it and maybe make it a place you would frequent, just sayin. i'm sure they're open for constructive criticism that would make their business improve.

hey I guess I shouldve posted this a while ago, but you took my g/f's blood pressure(before the doc rolled through) at the westside Mercy clinic (like jan or feb?) and you said she had high blood pressure and was pissed at you for it. haha WTF... anyway she started describing you by ...."some ...

aw, thanks!!

-Joe.

i'll play bass.

i was there until 9, i didn't get to actually meet JRS, but was in his presence for a while. next time, JRS and i battle at Bad Dudes. i heard he can beat the train level without even trying.

pics or youre a fucking liar.

the second set was a total blast. i had a good time.

Spinach kills more people than cannabis, yet I don't see anyone going to jail for eating it. Matter of fact, aspirin kills more people than cannabis. Why hasn't Walgreen's been raided lately? references please. You don't remember the big spinach scare a couple years ago when people who ate it died ...

weird, i'm kinda in agreement with davo.

though i don't particularly like pot (and yes, it is harmful to your health), i think it should be decriminalized.
