It’s been a while since I last got a spam comment on the GaragePunk.com blog worthy of reposting here, but this one that came in this morning made me laugh. Of course the links have been removed so as not to give the spammers their just deserts, and the original comment was marked as spam, but here it is for what it’s worth…

I looked at me megan fox naked over carefully, but could. Alan and fast. Alan watched but was still sexy megan fox just ran. We will announce a long cum was that will megan fox boobs help. Alan watched megan fox nude pics but her hand on the metro home, can’t mind.

Actually, I guess that one is more like a short story than haiku…

It’s been almost four months since we had to have Ruby put to sleep, so we began our search for a new dog to add to our family last weekend. Our search didn’t last long… in fact, we found an adorable puppy that we just could not resist adopting on our first Humane Society visit (at the Maryland Heights location). Little was known about this pup except that she had been dropped off by someone on May 27 and was 4 months old (my guess is that she was either a stray or runaway). As far as the Humane Society workers knew, she didn’t even have a name! So they named her Trixie, spayed her and gave her the shots she needed and put her up on the Humane Society’s adoptable pet photos site. I guess they were told that she was a “lab mix,” but looking at her and seeing her behavior, we believe she is a full-blooded black lab (and from the looks of her paws, she’s probably going to end up being pretty big, too). She’s incredible sweet and loving, too. Very well behaved. We think she’ll be a great pet for us and a perfect companion for our son, Miles.

By the way, speaking of Miles, he and I took Trixie on her first walk to McDonald Park a few days ago, and she immediately ran into a large pool of rain water that had collected beneath one of the swing sets there and started splashing around (even sticking her face down in the dirty water):

Yep! That’s a lab, alright. No doubt about it.

Oh, and I also found a great message board online for Labrador Retrievers, too. So far it has been very helpful in answering a few of our questions about the breed. Check it out at Lab-Retriever.net.

I’ve uploaded some photos of our abbreviated trip to Seattle last month. Overall, we had a good time despite the news that my father’s health was deteriorating over the weekend and would pass away on Monday (Memorial Day), forcing us to return to St. Louis a week early.

We stayed with friends in Ballard (a northern neighborhood of Seattle that overlooks Puget Sound) and got to visit some interesting places like the Ballard Locks, Golden Gardens Beach (in Ballard), the Seattle Farmers Market, the Seattle Aquarium (by far Milo’s favorite attraction of the trip!) and, of course, the Space Needle (see pic above). We also had some of the BEST hamburgers we’ve ever eaten at a place called the Lunchbox Laboratory (unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of that… was too enthralled in just how delicious the burger was!). We had some really tasty (and cheap) fish & chips at a couple of different places, too, although we did not get a chance to have a really good seafood dinner like we had hoped we would.

The weather was a bit cooler (and wetter) than we were hoping for… the first two days especially, which were very cool, damp, and cloudy. The weekend was really nice, though, and the sun was out for both Saturday and Sunday as well as part of Monday (Memorial Day). We had to fight huge, Fair St. Louis-style crowds when we went to the Space Needle, though, as the Northwest Folklife Festival was going on.

Seattle wasn’t all that much bigger than St. Louis, although it’s definitely different. Different food, culture, climate, and scenery. I’d like to go back again soon, especially to finish out our original vacation plans by going to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula and making it down to Oregon… Seaside and Portland as well as Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge. Unfortunately that will have to wait until we can reschedule. Maybe in the Fall…

My dad passed away on Monday May 26, six years to the day that my mom died. He had been living in a nursing home and was under hospice care due to an infection he’d received from having an abscessed tooth that had gone untreated until it was too late. The infection would eventually spread throughout his body and would be his demise.

He was a World War II veteran and had spent most of his time in the service stationed in Greenland, “an awful place” as he put it, where he served as Chief Clerk at the Quatermaster Depot because of his typing, accounting and office skills learned while attending business school in St. Louis. He also had a very keen eye and was an Expert Marksman, able to hit a bullseye with multiple rounds fired from 500 yards away. While he was stationed in Greenland he took to boxing. He really enjoyed this and quickly earned a reputation of a tough fighter. He became so skilled with his fists that soon many GIs coming through his port on their way to Europe wanted to fight him. They’d see him in the mess hall and make comments like, “He doesn’t look so tough.” This usually meant a challenge was being issued and he would have to fight. He never lost a bout.

We will never forget the stories he would share with us about his days in the Army during World War II, or the stories of growing up in and around Manchester, Missouri, back when it was just a small farming town on a dirt road miles from “the big city” of St. Louis. My dad came from a large family that was always there with him, living in and around the Manchester area, but he lost his father (Emil Julius) to pneumonia during the Great Depression, when he was only 10 years old.

His passions for his family, taking us on extended vacations in the family car, history, music (loving everything from country to reggae), reading, camping, baseball, hunting, fishing, nature, planting trees, wildlife and the environment will never be forgotten. He would plant so many trees and shrubs in our yard that it became difficult to play in, and later even more difficult to mow. He read the Bible to me (cover to cover) when I was probably too young to understand what most of it meant, and he would take me for long walks around our Bridgeton neighborhood almost every evening, rain or shine. We would stop and rest on a bench and talk about the Moon and stars in the night sky. These things I will never forget.

He was a recycler (of EVERYTHING… glass, aluminum, tin, cardboard, paper… right down to separating the cellophane envelope windows from the paper and removing staples from pamphlets and magazines) and a backyard composter (not allowing my mother to put any sorts of biodegradable waste in the garbage, but instead using it to fill drainage ruts in our backyard) decades before it was politically correct to do so. And he was extremely meticulous in everything he did, whether it be planting trees at one of our many houses when I was growing up, repairing something, changing a tire or building a birdhouse. If it wasn’t absolutely perfect, he’d start all over.

He was also bullheaded, short-tempered and fiercely independent. He was extremely stubborn, defiantly opinionated and stood up for what he believed in and never backed down to anyone, be them friend or foe. But at the very same time he could be extremely caring, warm, loving and sensitive. I see many of these same character traits in myself. Life is funny like that.

We’ll miss you, Dad.

In case you’re wondering why there have been two lanes of northbound traffic blocked off along Tucker (in front of the Globe Building and the new Washington Ave. Apartments) for months now, here’s why:

The old Illinois Traction Railroad — electric streetcar that connected St. Louis to Springfield, Peoria, Urbana and other Illinois cities via the McKinley Bridge — ended at the Central Terminal (now Globe) Building, with the station in the basement. Florissant Avenue and part of Tucker Boulevard are actually elevated roadways over those tracks. The Illinois Traction line closed in 1953, but the rail line was used for deliveries of paper to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch through 2004. The city inherited maintenance responsibilities in 1953, and has been unable to keep the elevated roadway in good repair. Sections are in such bad shape that Tucker and Florissant are closed between Cass Avenue and Cole Street. The elevated section begins right in front of the Washington Avenue Apartments, where the city has closed outside lanes for safety.

So there you have it! Thanks to Michael Allen at KWMU for the scoop on that mystery.

Received in an email from Apop Records:

If you live in Saint Louis city (MO) and care about individual rights and business rights, if you’re getting fed up with ever-extending grip of city and state legislation and bureaucracy, attend the Cherokee Street Business Association Meeting tomorrow, Thursday May 15, at 6 pm in the basement of the Cherokee business incubator building (that’s where the Red Latina and Cherokee Dry Cleaners are) to support dissent. The address for this is 2715 Cherokee Street. St. Louis, MO 63118.

“Cherokee People,

Below is an email I sent last night to Jim Merkel of the South Side Journal regarding the attached bill sponsored by Craig Schmid. You can pretty much gauge my thoughts on the situation from the email. If you have time I would encourage everyone to read the bill and bring your input to the business association meeting on Thursday. Also, try to encourage others to attend - especially residents of the the 20th ward. Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to make the meeting due to a prior commitment but I’m hoping we’ll have a decent discussion on this.

Craig did respond with an email today stating that he sent Patavee the Bill on Friday but it’s clear from the timestamp on the email to Patavee that he did this only after I requested that the business association have some input. I’ll forward along my correspondence with Craig as well.

Thanks,
Jason”

“Jim,

I’m writing to you regarding the attached bill sponsored by 20th ward Alderman Craig Schmid that is listed on the Board of Alderman web site as “Prohibiting package liquor in the 20th Ward”. This bill contains an Emergency Clause so as to move quickly through committee.

The scope of this bill extends beyond simply prohibiting package liquor and has many provisions which I and others believe put the up-and-coming Cherokee Business District at a distinct disadvantage when competing for new businesses that wish to serve liquor. Some of these provisions include; an increase in parking requirements for establishments that serve liquor, a restriction on hours of operation during the week requiring businesses to close at midnight, installation of a video surveillance system that operates 24/7 and must have a live video feed available for viewing by computer via internet with a password provided to the Alderman of the 20th Ward, no outside performances, sales, equipment, beer garden, or activities, no music or noise audible outside of the establishment, and no more than two (2) establishments having a liquor license with gross food sales less than 50% of gross sales within 350 feet of each other. These provisions create a significant barrier to entry for new businesses.

Other commercial districts such as South Grand, Washington Ave, and the Grove have all experienced recent revitalization with liquor serving establishments as a component of their success. The “Legislative Findings” on the first page of the bill present a picture that is entirely contrary to these successes.

I’ve left two messages and sent an email to Ald. Schmid since this came out on May 9th to address these concerns and haven’t heard back. Additionally, this bill was drafted without any input or consideration from the Cherokee Station Business Association who’s boundaries lie within the 20th ward and of which I am a board member. Because of the Emergency Clause, time is of the essence on this bill. Unfortunately due to aldermanic courtesy there is a chance that this will pass before anyone even knows it exists. With increased public awareness it is my hope that a dialogue can take place to shape policy that more accurately reflects the opinions of local residents and business owners. Your help in generating this awareness would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason Deem”

Craig,

When you say “The reason I spoke with the neighborhoods is because the provisions are strictly for the benefit of the neighborhoods” that seems to imply that if these provisions were also for the benefit of the business association you would have sought our input as well. I think it is important to take input from all parties involved when creating legislation, not just those who are likely to benefit from it or those who are likely to agree with it. While I appreciate your response in this matter, I find it odd that you responded to Patavee on Friday an hour after I left a voicemail and emailed requesting to discuss the bill and you didn’t respond to me until 4 days later. I am concerned that without a request, this bill never would have been brought to the association. I am also concerned that the use of an emergency clause may be an attempt to rush this into effect before it has a chance to be properly vetted by all parties involved. I sincerely hope that my gut feeling is wrong and I look forward to further discussion on Thursday.

Thanks,

I sent a copy of the proposed legislation on Friday to Patavee. I will forward a copy to you. We are trying to loosen the 50% food requirements on Cherokee only. In return there are some provisions to protect the surrounding neighborhoods. The reason I spoke with the neighborhoods is because the provisions are strictly for the benefit of the neighborhoods. The Delmar Loop does quite fine with the 50% food requirement. And, if a restaurant with 50% food locates on Cherokee Street, they would not have these additional parking, security, video surveillance, and limits on numbers requirements. Some of the requirements dealing with noise, litter, loitering, and separation of tables from the pedestrian area, the neighborhoods and I are already requesting for alcohol licenses in general.

Although the added requirements are for the neighborhoods, they will probably help businesses in the long run too. We are not trying to put the district at a disadvantage. Rather, we want folks to be thinking of these things upfront and dealing with them, so that we can all be successful.

Thanks. Craig

Hi Craig,

I think the Cherokee Station Business Association was left out of this process. While I think the bill is well intended I am concerned that there are a few provisions that put the district at a disadvantage when competing to attract new businesses. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss.

Thanks,

Greetings:

This in legalese is about what I believe we spoke when we discussed amending the current liquor control law in the 20th Ward to be a bit more flexible for possible new and exciting developments on Cherokee Street only, while at the same time protecting and attracting other new businesses and protecting surrounding residential areas.

This proposed legislation, which I will be introducing, provides for: 1) reduction in food sales from a minimum of 50% to 35%; 2) No package liquor to carry out; 3) parking facilities of at least 15 spaces, 30 spaces if live entertainment, and 30 additional spaces for every 1000 square feet of space in excess of the initial 1000 square feet of space; 4) hours of operation 6 a.m. to midnight weekdays (which I personally think is a bit too late) and 6 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. on weekends; 5) hiring of a security guard if there is an occupancy load limit of over 100 people from 9 p.m. to closing; 6) video surveillance with taping and access by the Excise Commissioner, law enforcement, and alderman; 7) no more than 2 establishments with less than 50% food within 350 feet of each other; 8 ) no outside activities or stuff; 9) doors and windows closed and no sound audible outside; 10) no board-ups of windows or doors; 11) sidewalk tables with extension of premises permit and nice 4 foot fence; 12) daily clean-up of litter, trash can and proper dumpster; 13) enforcement of “No Loitering” and “No Open Containers”; 14) commercial occupancy permit with these conditions.

If there are some glaring errors I have made, we can always amend this in committee. I will need your support when this comes for a hearing before the committee.

Again, I want to thank you for the “heavy lifting” and effort that you and others have expended. The work of revitalizing a community is not always glamorous, but I think it is certainly worthwhile. It cannot happen without the help of lots of folks. Thanks for your tremendous contributions here in this legislation and
in other endeavors for our community.

Thanks. Craig”

THE BILL*************

May 9, 2008

BOARD BILL NO. 47 INTRODUCED BY ALDERMAN CRAIG SCHMID

An ordinance prohibiting the issuance of any package or drink liquor licenses for any currently non-licensed premises within the boundaries of the Twentieth Ward Liquor Control District, as established herein, for a period of three years from the effective date hereof; containing an exception allowing, during the period, for the transfer of existing licenses, under certain circumstances, and the issuance of a drink license to persons operating a restaurant at a previously non-licensed premises, or operating a premises with at least 35% food sales and complying with other requirements set forth herein and having a commercial occupancy permit with certain enumerated conditions attached thereto; and containing an emergency clause.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION ONE. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.

The existence of alcoholic beverage establishments appears to contribute directly to numerous peace, health, safety and general welfare problems including loitering, littering, drug trafficking, prostitution, public drunkenness, defacement and damaging of structures, pedestrian obstructions, as well as traffic circulation, parking and noise problems on public streets and neighborhood lots. The existence of such problems creates serious impacts on the health, safety and welfare of residents of single- and multiple family residences within the district, including fear for the safety of children, elderly residents and of visitors to the district. The problems also contribute to the deterioration of the neighborhood and concomitant devaluation of property and destruction of community values and quality of life. The number of establishments selling alcoholic beverages and the associated problems discourage more desirable and needed commercial uses in the area. In order to preserve the residential character and the neighborhood serving commercial uses of the area, there shall be liquor control requirements on the issuance of new liquor licenses within the area beginning at the intersection of the centerlines of S. Broadway and Interstate 55, and proceeding along the centerlines in a generally clockwise direction south to Kosciusko St., north to Winnebago St., west to Marine Ave., south to Chippewa St., west to Missouri Ave., south to Keokuk St., west to S. Broadway, north on S.

That’s right, kids. I’m sure you’ve probably seen the Web flyer posted all over Myspace lately, but just in case ya haven’t…

If you’ve never caught the Boss Martians live before, you’re in for a treat. Tight and powerful rock’n'roll from Seattle. They started out as a neo-’60s surf/frat/garage act in the mid-1990s but over the past several years have morphed their sound into a more polished, sitcom-friendly brand of powerpop with obvious nods to the ’70s. Here, I’ll let their bio do the rest of my talkin’:

BIO
Fronted by guitar-smashing, soul singing, anthem-writing buzzbomb Evan Foster, Seattle’s BOSS MARTIANS are thee Rock & Roll jet boys to look for in 2008! Got Songs?? HELL YES!! At least, that is, according to Rolling Stone’s David Fricke who anointed them “rising stars” referencing their addictive hooks, killer tunes, and super-charged performance a couple years ago in New York City at Little Steven’s International Underground Garage Festival alongside The Strokes and Iggy Pop (among many others!) SPIN Magazine, quick to get aboard, said “the Boss Martians’ irresistible ‘I Am Your Radio’ should make them stars…” regarding the Foster-penned Power Pop instant-anthem. Taking it all over the top at the concert that day was the introduction the Martians received from the “Boss” himself — Bruce Springsteen — to 10,000 people! 

Martian History Lesson: Evan Foster (guitar, vocals) and NickC (keys) met as teenagers in Tacoma, WA and discovered a mutual obsession with Garage, Punk, Surf, Power Pop, New Wave, old SST Records releases, and CAFFEINE! They both wanted to start a weird rock band — enter The Boss Martians!! The Martians uniquely combine the primal energy of Punk with the raw, unmistakable sound and swagger of Northwest Garage Rock (think The Sonics!!), English blue-eyed soul (think Small Faces and The Who!!), and the pure pop sensibility of a young, sneering Elvis Costello. Rounding out the band’s low end and drum kit destruction plan, respectively, are Scott Myrene on bass guitar and the young, often angry, Spokane-born, “Dirty” Thomas Caviezel on drums. 

The last few years have proven to be very good to our Martians and accolades abound for their relentless DIY touring all over the U.S. and Europe while supporting their last full-length release “The Set-Up” (MuSick/India/Rough Trade), which was declared a “Power Pop Masterpiece” by Punk Planet! 

BIG NEWS right now is that IGGY POP has co-written AND performed on the new Boss Martians album entitled “Pressure in the S.O.D.O.”, scheduled for release in Europe in Nov 2007, and on July 8th, 2008 in the U.S.!! 

The album, mixed by Rock & Roll genius Jack Endino (Nirvana, Hot Hot Heat, and everyone else that rules), features a song entitled “HEY HEY YEAH YEAH” which is currently featured on six E-Trade TV commercial ads running thru 2009 in the U.S. and Canada (WATCH THE ADS), and to top that — one of these ads was just announced as being one of the MOST POPULAR ADS OF SUPER BOWL XLII!!!
