      Did anyone actually say they were indie rockers? I think the conclusion had been reached that they were just douchebags.

      They love us.

      Did anyone actually say they were indie rockers? I think the conclusion had been reached that they were just douchebags.

      They love us.

      I got a text message to alert me that it was my lucky day.

      They are a great many things: lovers, wreckers of guitar strings, infrequent shower-ers, consumers of low-grade weed, wearers of those stupid plastic soccer sandals, and yes, douchebags. They cannot be pigeonholed or silenced by squares like me, trying to hush thier self expression, which only peaks after 11 pm. They will strum until some fool in some shitty basement venue somewhere gives them a gig so they can quit the day job they never had.

      But indie rockers? In Park Slope? Please.

      But I will give them credit for not being as bad as my former neighbors: the Italian dude who beat his retarded grandchildren and the landlord who had loud reggaeton-blaring birthday parties for his three year old every two weeks--none of which was actually attended by children. I can only say this is a step in the right direction.

      Sex, ciggies and music? Where's that canned bean throwing mom when you need her? Seriously - can you never write about Park Slope ever again? they are more humor impaired than the people in Boring Hill.

      Fight white guilt and injustice by smoking tax free guilt free Reservation Smokes or go gamble in a Native Casino.
      I like to stick it to The Man, The Man happens to be Liberal in NYC(power Structure).

      So I guess that person is willing to open up his/her apartment as a practice space, because that would be pretty damned funny - to me.

      Uh oh.

      Look how goddamn quotable I am. Reader's Digest ain't got nothing on me.

      Cute picture, tho.

      edit: god, it's all kneejerk reactions by people who didn't bother to actually read the whole situation before getting all self righteous about how everyone else is a whiner and Park Slope yuppies and blah blah blah. I like Drano's suggestion--c'mon people, let's strike a deal.

      Oh, and this comment was great:

      "Erikkka, go back to (Sl)Ohio if you can't stand the noise, you slag cunt whore. Try not getting knocked up for at least the next three months. Sometimes you need to take a break from shitting out hick kids every 9 1/2 mos."

      the only thing I find offensive is that he would imply I have kids. Fuck that.

      Thanks. No flaming for me--I am looking forward to my 15 seconds of minor internet fame coming to an end ASAP.
